No? I thought they were deemed "parking lights", not allowed on otherwise, wording to the effect that headlight was to be the only fwd white light also.Originally Posted by MrKiwi
Not that it made any appreciable difference to the speed mine were installed...

Well, so long as Mr Kiwi helps pay the court costs, I'm bunging these on after Christmas. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Motorbike-LE...item2a2210f989
I'm pretty sure that if a cop decides I've left my parking lights on and tickets me thusly, I won't have hope of challenging the judgement, though I'll give it a try. Also going to get an LED taillight. The later model XJR ones fit right in.
If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?

Thank you for the warning.

Good on you. But my research* tells me that the same idiots who crash in to police cars, ambulances and fire engines with their lights AND sirens on will not be helped in their: "Sorry I did not see you" bubble by a row of LED lights, a day-glow vest or lights on 24/7. I am no buddy of Katman's and I expect we will never share a beer. But I agree with one of his statements 100%. This is the one where he states that we are all fully responsible for all and anything that happens to us on the road while on our bike. If you crash in to a old lady who came out of a side road dayglow and lights has no meaning. (If you are interested I can provide you with my take on why. One day. Maybe...). You should have expected her to be there.
*In my years of riding I have avoided many idiots who "sorry, did not see you". In my home countris years ago the lights on all time rule was in place. Riders still died. They still did not see you. The reality is that you can legislate all you want, (And I am sure you are itching to do so) 100% of the issue still lies with the rider and his attitude.

Sorry my bad didn't make myself clear enough, they are contrary to the law at present, but I would like to see the law changed so it is not.

A bit of anti climax there but at least they're not forcing anything on us (yet). Yep, $30 is an interesting figure.

I thought so too.

No, I'm far too thick for that. Sheep can't see in colour either.

To be fair, all he said was factor, not causal factor. Unfortunately, these mean the same thing to most people, and tpb often take advantage of that.

Normal ratio?

Normally just below 1%. This is lower, but that is understandable as to post here you will be scrutinized. And that can at times hurt...

Have you considered that, although the rider and bike were not seen, the bigger problem might just be that the rider was not educated in ways to keep themselves alive under such circumstances?
