    Well once you get down in the smaller windshields nothing is
    stopping the wind. With a good shield you can smoke a cigar

    I am not interested in knowing why you want to ride in a bikini but
    if HR is into it, more power to ya..

    Yeah, I'm sure it will be worth it. Fact is my eyes just aren't what they used to be, and at night I often have trouble seeing the road ahead of me, especially with on comming traffic. Our roads aren't always that great around here and there are some pot holes that could just flat out lay you down if you hit em without seeing them. I don't know about you guys but I love my long rides on clear star filled nights. Leave the house around midnight with my little Filipina holding tight, circle the island and get back around 4am. To me riding don't get much better than that and I'm not ready to give that up yet.

    I'm also thinkng about getting the BAL tail light, I haven't heard any negatives about it other than it may piss a few cagers off if set too bright. I can live with that...:D

    Yep down here it gets too hot to ride in the day during the summer,
    we do it, but we generally do a bit more night riding.

    Critters like to run out into the road, so far I've had 3 or 4 run
    out in the past two weeks, and with the wider flat white beam I've picked
    them up a lot sooner.

    You are right as you age the receptors in your eyes get
    worse at picking up light so its harder to see in the dark.
