mines green!!!and you werent listening i was asleep!! in a car yu hear a beep beep my green light is slightly below me sight line an not bright enough!! an indicators are stuck to far out to the side!![excuses excuses!!]gonna bring them in closer that was the only misshap[apart from comin off!!!] on a excellent ride on a far as i'm concerned an excellent bike i'm happy! end off!!oh my 92 sportster has self cancelling woohooo!!
I was actually thinking about the buzzer/indicator thing at the weekend... would warn pedestrians when you were turning at a junction... would have it only activated at low speeds though
lol @ fog horn (they are Vance & Hines Short Shorts on mine... an audible device loud enough to be heard over them is still to be invented!)
A lad who lived in a local village to me back in the 70's/80's had an audible warning on his bike fitted to his indicators......
So do I at moment (only sound when trailer attached lol)
lmao @ TM... and also eeewwwwwwwww!!
HR - I thought I had heard some vehicles with them on but couldn't remember hearing a bike using them... but then I don't get out much!
Great thing about my pipes - if a pedestrian crosses in front of me as I turn, I just blip the throttle and they jump so high in the air I ride underneath them....
Same with cars on singletrack road... I just burble up behind them and sit on their offside rear corner... then they pull over at the next layby as they think the noise is their gearbox just about to explode... and I zoom past!
Hey Tee Cee, Wouldn't worry too much about your Harley breaking down, I'd actually be more concerned about getting it started in the first place! but that's just me - what do I know! Oh and you don't have to wear dayglo lellow cos it comes in other colours too - like bright citrus orange!! Yum
Hey Chatpal! Starting it has never been a problem.. it is stopping the damn thing catches me out!
As soon as they invent Dayglo Black I will consider touring Spain, Italy or France again.... (it is the only colour I wear)
Yep Tee Cee, no brakes, don't go round corners (that should be ok on the Continent tho - lots of straight roads - don't know how you're gonna get to Dover tho' - Ah I know - put it on a trailer, then you'll be ok for the breakdowns as well!
Oh yeah, one more thing - the vibrations (only pillioned on a Harley but could still feel the vibration in my legs days later!!!) Aahhh the memories ...
Oops - in danger of hijacking this thread so better get it back on topic!!
What was that you were saying about having to carry spare glasses abroad, TM? And do you know how this applies to contact lenses??
if you wear spec's yu need a spare pair but guess yu'll have spare contacts anyway! spare bulb set is compulsary an european number plates or gb sticker,but i dont think the kids i saw on scooters an 125's buzzin around are hardly bothered by the cops they seem a law unto themselves helmets never strapped up[sometimes no helmet especially the pillion!always a gorgeous girl] an allways in shorts an t shirts[saw a few bikes an scooters goin 3 up] they seem more interested in hasslin cars an lorries especially! the cops not the kids! an didnt take long for yu to get Harley bashed on here did it?out they come with the same ole same ole!!! or rather they come out of an ole or there up there own ole! best stop gettin confused!!
Thanks for that TM!!
Sounds like I am going to need panniers just going out for the day!! Think I would have to get the GB tattooed on my arse cos I aint sticking it on my bike!!
Now, if they made it law to carry a gorgeous pillion...
Yeah, my poor Harley gets it in the neck again....lol...or ole.... She ain't perfect but she's mine.... actually, she damn well nearly IS my perfect bike.
i ended up like right gippo everything strapped on wiv bungy's one of the highlights was comin of the ferry with a load of Harleys an drownin santander wiv noise you would have been proud[in more ways than one]the whole rd was a parade great!!
Well don't try to take a trailer into Spain!!! Only euro country that bans bikes towing them grrrrrrr......
(still know I'm in a majority towing every little luxury but once it's bought it's yours lol) not the hotels etal!!!
