Couldn't believe my eyes!!!!!

This morning around 7.30am, a bike heading South on the Southern around Manukau City as I was heading North. Being overcast it was darker than lighter if you get my drift.

Black Helmet, Black litre class bike?? black riding gear, so far so good. :)

No lights at all!!!!!! :gob: :gob: :gob:

Could hardly see him/her at all. Hopefully a blown fuse as most modern bike lights come on as soon as you fire tham up or turn them on. Pretty darn dangerous though. I hope they got to where they were going safely and in one peice.

was it a ninja?
arent they trained in the art of invisibility

[frogfeaturesFZR]

They keep that up they won't be riding long. Hell I'd ride with a indicator going rather than nothing

Black Helmet, Black litre class bike?? black riding gear, so far so good...Black this, black that, sounds like he didn't wanna be seen! Ghostrider copycat wannabe maybe? :eek5:

I see motorists all the time driving with their lights off when its dark, I often just flash my high beam to give them a wake up call and feel like I've done my good deed for the day!

[Bend-it]

So that's where he went... I was chatting with this biker, then suddenly a puff of smoke and whoosh, he was gone!

ive ridden home with no lights once.....simply cos i forgot! LOL. i did have a few cars flash their lights at me...but me being denser than a gorse bush didnt realise till i got home and went to turn them off. duhhhhh, lol. no its my routine....unlock bike, sit, pull bike upright, stand up, fire bike up and lights on. havent forgotten since.

My gear is all colour coordinated... black with black and black.
Bike is black too.

Wasn't planned that way but I'm happy with it especially if it slightly hints of evil.

Motorists don't register dayglo vests, they register perceived threats.
So to the extent that black may suggest a threat.. so far so good!

I dont get this - dont you look at your speedo? Everytime I see a car driving at night with no lights on, I wonder if they ever look at their dash. Never think to check the cars temperature, the amount of gas remaining, how fast you are going? Pretty hard to read the dash when the headlights are off because not only are your dashboard lights off, but also most cars have the gauges recessed so that even the street lamps wont shine on them.

Driving with no headlights is one thing but for God's sake people, make sure you check how fast you are going. SPEED KILLS - didn't you know?

Yeah, me too. From the boots to the gloves to the helmet and everywhere in between including the bike.

Okay, car without lights going down road, car waiting to pull out of road does not see car without lights = accident

Car without lights does not see person crossing road = injured person

Car without lights does not see other car until late, possibly parked car and swerves onto otherside of road and hits another car or motorcycle = bad accident / injury

I thought I would say it slowly for you Poohsy

[Colapop]

Where's the bit about the bike travelling down the road without lights?

my speedo/rev counter doesnt light up, and theres no light on the dash to say light on/off, cept for the one the one that only comes on when im using full beam. and the way the weather is right now, i stay in 4th [which struggles at 60k, but runs nice at 50k] and watch the revs [theres enough street light to see speedo and rev counter, plus i use vibration] i rode for 5 weeks with no speedo, so learned to use vibration for speed when travelling at night, and how to read revs for travelling out of town. my other dash lights light up reguardless of headlight being on or not. [gears, indiblinkers etc]

edit...ive also jumped on without my lid....but have realised the bike sounded a little too good and then had to work out why, lol.
