Just watch out you don't get caught miles from home as it gets dark with a tinted visor like i did ..doh!
had to tailgate cars all the way home just to stay on the bl**dy road.i just centred myself between their rear lights and turned when they did.-tried opening visor but the streams of tears meant visibility was worse--lesson learned the hard way!

I went out last night for an evening blast. Good to see all the idiots were tucked upin bed leaving lots of nice open country roads.
A quick blast over Salisbury Plain, up to Devises, then back across the A4 into Newbury before going home. I think I need an extra set of those xenon "adventure" lamps on the front of the XRV though. Main beam is good, but total daylight would be better!

Remember watching two mates crash like this. One was following the taillight to "find" the lines. Unfortunately rider number one overcooked it a bit. Rider two followed. Hilarious watching them both have the same getoff and end up crashing in perfect synchronisation. Even ended up the same distance apart in the ditch. (No one hurt, I'm not that evil )
