New fun for the wrinkly's

Riding through a village this morning doing almost exactly the 30mph limit
when an oncoming car started flashing it's lights at me and the elderly
driver started pointing franticly at the front of my bike. Bloody hell
thought I and came to a stop to check for any small children/furry animals
stuck in the front intake - nothing there. Checked the bike over and all
seemed fine.

I thought perhaps there was a camera up ahead or something so rode carefully
for the next couple of miles - still nothing. I now think this was just an
old gits way of brightening his afternoon up - bastard.

 

No, it was burning fine when I looked

 

Perhaps the damage arose during his attempts at breeding with the horses?

 

Do you ride with your headlight on?
Plenty of people see twin lights with only one side lit and assume there is
a problem.

Could have been that I guess, I don't have a choice with this bike as they
come on with the ignition.

Great idea really, giving you a main beam that's half as powerful as it
could be in the interests of your own saftey. How does that work if you're
riding on main beam, surely the same tit at a junction could still mistake
you for a car in the distance with one headlight out of adjustment (if
indeed that was the reason for the legislation and is not just some urban
myth).

Good trick that one. I use it often.

 

Some one will be pointing you in the direction of the faq.

He probably thought your front number plate had fallen off

 

Riding through a village this morning doing almost exactly theWierd shit!
Twice now I've had fogies flash their lights at me and point at the sky
behind me!
It's not a little black cloud following me around is it? Or Sir.Tony
fiendishly disguised as a kite?

I wonder if it's something the Caravan club have suggested their members do
to bikers?

It was somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the
drugs began to take hold. I remember "Nic.F"

The degenerate old arseholes are trying to tell you they think your
headlight's too high. **** them and their cataracts.
