Well, we are going to have some bling available. Like this.

And we will have glow sticks marking entry points to the tracks as well as crossed red glows to signify wrong ways.

mmm, starting to have second thoughts about this ride. Especially if I've got to wear glo-stick goggle things, while some dudes riding around in the night in just his fuckin undies.

Cheese, you might be able to borrow Daves KDX as that has a light on it, you seemed to enjoy riding that. shit you were fast on it too, swear you even got out of 2nd gear at one point.

LOL I'd rather ride the CR! That KDX was fucking funny. the front is so soft you can't feel a thing!

FYI - I've been investigating lighting kits and I can get some Luxon 3w LED kit modules and build them up for a pretty good price. Don't be fooled by the 3w - that gives out about 250 lumens of light (fucking bright) and cause its only 3w it uses fuck all power. I'm going to set up two of them and they will fit under the peak on my helmet and they will use 6w which is .5amp so a 2 amp hour battery will last around 4 hours. I should be able to build the entire thing up for under $150ish including a battery. The light is about 1.5cm in diameter. I might have to make up a holder out of some ali or plastic though. I'll keep you guys updated.

Might be a good evening to come out and have a look around.....in the dark.

**Ktmboy** · 11th June 2008, 17:26

Hold onto your ideas about lighting for the mo as I may have an idea.(thx Nordy).

I entered LED as a search on TM and ended up buying this for $25 delivered. I also bought a 14 unit LED unit for $10 and will be doing some trials to see how good they are. If the 14 LED is OK then we may consider buying 20 or so and hire them out for $5, or maybe Heineken donations.

Standby for the results when I recieve the goods in a couple of days.
