Glad to hear that you're OK. Another point scored for wearing full gear. It's got me thinking (again) about my own lack of leg protection. Stay safe! Cheers, Loonette You and me both. Still trying to find a pair of overpants that I a: can fit into, b: has the protection I am seeking, c: looks good ...

?? You didn't offend me. Okay. I was coming out of a sharp corner pretty hard and as I got straight I wasn't paying attention to the line I would be entering the next turn and I saw a deer sprint into the road 10 feet in front of me.

I'm guessing the bike doesn't have that much damage is because it sat on me for half the time and disembarked on its journey through the concrete only for a short time. I hit the front brake hard after being surprised by an animal but hit at the exact wrong time as I was going through some gravel an...

Xenon HID headlights and bike LEDs.

Does anyone have any experience with these headlights? http://www.xenondepot.com/product.php?product_id=34 They cost $204 USD and are supposed to help YOU see because of the super bright light. I'd buy it but I'm worried about the glare other drivers might get. I've never personally seen a xenon lig...
