"Lone Watie: Get ready, little lady. H*ll is coming to breakfast." - I love that movie.


I have a head light switch on my 07 Suzuki, that i did myself. Got tired of annoying my neighbors late at night, letting the bike warm up before heading into work. I get asked about it all the time by other riders. Of course, i get a little embrassed when they ask me "what is that LED for?". "Oh that?, it's an idiot light to let me know my headlight is off." :oops:

I'm glad you said many cars, and not all cars otherwise you'd be ruling out the Escort Cossie. :o

IMO 1992 was the real killer for cars - the catalytic convert becoming mandatory in the UK. :down:

I like the story, and yes, I think the officer acted very professionally. In NJ though, you could have received a citation for your MC headlight not working. NJ law mandates that MC headlights must be on during the day as well as at night.:up:

Would that include "not turning it on?" Oh, wait. You said it MUST be ON:D
A man got to be crazy to ride a two wheeler without turning on the headlight for visibility.:dead:<-- other drivers are blind like me.

No worries, I'm a much better driver than those drivers who cannot see me. I can manage for both of us :)

Ride like they don't see you. Because they don't :03:

Very true. I still have my MC license, though I haven't ridden in over 20 years. In my experience (professionally speaking), I have found bikers to be among the safest drivers on the road, and much safer than motor vehicle operators.:up: (Plug) My son works in NYC for Harley Davidson where he is employed as a Master Technician.:smug:

Funny you say that. My experience is just the opposite. Much of my career, part of the territory I covered was a rural loop that was a favorite for "crotch rockets." They would drive dangerously and end up wrecking. For those in the city, I can say my experience is the same as your's. Regardless, motorcycles are more difficult to see and we need to keep an eye out for them.
