Greg, what camera (?) are you mounting above your left wing-mirror stalk?

 

Cheers - C.

 

That's my laser cannon :tongue:   No, actually it's just an LED flasher - a Bontrager Ion 35.  Here's a link and a vid:

I'm pretty sure that strobing lite will get you a ticket.

 

 

Perhaps - but the cops in my area don't seem to care and it's better to see your neme on a ticket than on a death certificate.  I noticed that many of the bikes at the  2017 IBR had some sort of strobing LED (see vid below):

I agree , many times I do things to avoid putting myself in harms way that could be ticketed for , I will always speed past a 18 wheeler, not getting killed by a retread coming off. There are kids here that use strobes to change lights like emergency vehicles use.

I know he said it's a bicycle light but to me it looked like it could have been something along the lines of a Contour Roam.

It looks like the road ends with a ramp, go on and jump over 20 buses like Evel Knievel.

I saw that come up in EDR's Facebook postings. What did they do for you?

 

Remounted my wheels (new tires), changed the oil, washed and waxed. Light was failing by the time I got around to taking the picture.

What was your experience? Curious...

They weren't bad when new, but once I passed 2000 miles, they really started to wear uneven and started to feel pretty crappy.  I think I only got about 4000 miles out of them.  Unless you do a lot of rain riding, I don't think the PR4 is that great on a VFR.  I like the Dunlop Roadsmart line and the Angel GT the best.
