    Point.
    It's a typical modern lighting setup where the low beam is on full time but is truncated across the top. Not much to be done about it. If I raised it (which is dead easy to do) then high beam would be navigation hazard for aircraft.

    Our cars are the same.
    I may not be as good as I once was, but I'm as good once as I always was.

    Ok.
    keep an eye on car lighting developments, some very interesting recent advances.
    it will take a while for them to filter through, but BMW would be at the forefront

    Thursday - Usually hang around till 7 ish then decide on a random ride

    If its bad weather then no one will turn up - be realistic, the colder/wetter it is the less likely there will be someone

    Leathels ride the other week was well and truly random - it gave me lots of practise - which is eactly what I need.
    Would do that again, if only I could remember where we went LOL.

    Its just a ride and a chin wag, ask questions seek advice. All relaxed no pressure to keep up.

    Caseye and Leathel seem to be the regulars, I only turn up if I get the chance - work has been limiting it to one ride per week (if that)

    enjoy your rides...

    I went for a bit of a trundle today and ended up on some roads I haven't traveled on for a while..... might have to do them on a dry night, more back roads to get people lost :P

    But not a wt road ride as it has a bit of green in places of the wheel tracks...... but better roads than the last roads I did

    Good to hear you got time to ride.

    Work is a bit a mystery this week - will try and see you Thurs

    I don't mind doing green roads, it will be just a lot slower.

    The road from Rangareri to 22 is full of roadworks. Just in case you were heading that way. 22 is fine. Was out that way yesterday.

    It was a nice wee run, some of the roads I knew some definitely worth trying again, liked those tight twisties. Finally got some sort of rhythm going.

    excellent to see the group working together, everyone rides at their own pace.

    Amit followed me home, almost led him the long way, but thought better of it, so at least he knows how to get back to mway etc.

    Bass if there is a orange sidecar, try that one

    Amit,

    remember -

    Country roads, people often cut the corners

    and

    loose metal on edges, off driveways, intersections

    take your time develop at your own pace.
