Bikers - can you explain?
Discussion
I dont think full beam is a bright idea (hehe).
After driving in my car during the day or night with a bike approaching avec full beam, granted the bike is seen instantly, but I find my retinas take a good five minutes to recover. People definitely see you coming though.
I have opted for a slightly different track, that of blue sidelights. The most noticeable colour in a rear view mirror is blue for obvious reasons (police?). I didnt fancy the Halfords boy racer blue headlights, so I tried the sidelights which mixes with the dipped beam.
I think having a bright yellow bike helps the visual cause.
PS. Where have all the nodders gone this season?
- anecdote: got into the Bora the other day after a blast on the Duke. As the missus and I were travelling down a single carriageway, a group of bikes came past us. The missus had to ask what I was nodding my head at. Oops, habit!!
