I need to look into these. Not sure what they are all about.

I rode to work today too. Ended up not being as nice of a day as they said.

Brighter lights for night riding, also helps to be seen more during daylight hours

I figured as much. I was implying as to what I'd need to do to convert my bike to that or whatever.

Just did about 20 miles at night. It wasn't particularly cold. 40's or so. I had no real destination. Just wanted to get out on the bike.

true... just ask NE Rally peeps how well the front of my bike is to see anytime. Real easy during the day and lights up like the sun at night. Of coarse mine isn't due to hid just big set of lights... 3 to be exact

I have rode everyday since last week. If nothing else to work everyday. Hell even put some miles on the wife's nightster.
