Night riding
 
Due to me having a very poor night vision I have decided that I will not be riding at night any more. Last weekend scared the pants off me riding through the lakes in the dark.
This does mean that unless I get a lift now and again I will not be going to any of the meets. I'm not happy about it but I reckon it's better to be safe than sorry.
Will see you guys when I can.


Cheers
Ste

My night visions not the best either :( could hardly see the other night on the motorway once we reached a stretch where there was no lighting, was quite scary! I also won`t be doing any night time riding either, as you say better safe than sorry

I felt Slark's (Ste) thread has been derailed by the 'upgrade your bulbs' posts. I understand where Ste is coming from and he did not say the pointy's lights were crap......

The 'derailing' posts have been moved to a new thread called 'Upgrade Your Lamps' as I think Mototech will have something useful to add about HID kits.



Ohhhh my first proper 'MOD' thing!

Sorry you feel you have to duck out matey, but as you said, better safe than sorry.

Thought I would just add... the pointy's bulbs are awful, but the main reason for me not risking night riding is due to having a large blind spot in the middle of my vision, this has been caused by lack of vitamin A and long nights on the computer with no other means of light as well as relying so much on one eye. I have seriously thought about changing the bulbs but I believe it's not going to make that much of a difference.
Cheers for your thoughts anyway guys :) :)
