My LIKE does not love.....
« on: August 27, 2019, 03:03:33 PM »
...dark, tree-lined, rainy, city streets!

Out for a coffee ride on wet & greasy streets to Tim Hortons' this morning between rain showers.

When I bought my LIKE200iLX 7 or 8 years ago, I thought, "OK, I can see stuff. This headlight is pretty good!"
Then I rode 2, twin headlight, maxis, and this little 155cc Piaggio with a 55W bulb!
Sheee-ooot! It was a revelation!

I love my LIKE, and in the wet I want its Michelin City Grips beneath me - , but I would never ride it at any kind of speed on an unfamiliar road in the wet and dark. Imagine an upcoming , pot-holed, bend in the road - with oncoming headlights in your face! My road would actually be invisible.

And, I'm feeling a little peculiar.

Dark and raining.  Not a good combination to ride in.  Even with a great headlight, water on my face shield makes it hard to see.
I Ride Therefore I Am
