You are so tedious, Z3n. Pope Mobile - ya, I feel you. It still happens even when you try to stay out of the bad places. I understand what you're saying, even if our resident autist doesn't.

Light creepers SEEM to want to go fast, but you'll find they're always the slowest to step on the gas when the light actually turns. Fact.

Collateral Damage posted:Makes me glad lowbeams are mandatory regardless of time of day here. Even in full daylight a vehicle is more visible with its lights on. I just wish they had gone whole hog and made the rear lights part of the daytime running lights thing. Most people are too retarded to turn their lights on, they should have to go to extra effort to turn them OFF each time rather than the other way around.

Nidhg00670000 posted:It's even worse, they did go whole hog. In Sweden, previously rear lights were included in the DRL. From 2011 onwards they are not, as in the rear lights are not on when you're running with DRLs, you have to move to light switch to on. For someone who's been seeing rear lights on for all his driving/riding life, and equates lights off to a stationary vehicle, it get's annoying. So they actually went backwards to the mess we have in Canada? Amazing. Being Sweden, I guess it was determined that having the rears be part of DRL was misogynistic?

Don't worry, with the trend as it is in the US, police forces will get special exemption and just start using military vehicles made for this market. Bulletproof boxes, maybe with a turret, totally wired with cameras.

You should be able to be almost completely stopped and still have your feet on the pegs. If you can't do that, you're BAD AT BIKES. Hell, the elite can even balance while stopped, apparently. Bike moving? Feet on pegs.

Ya, it communicates to me that they're afraid that at any moment the bike is going to fall over and if their feet are there ready they will save it. poo poo riders.

nsaP posted:Yes I agree, but for the part about people wanting to hurt motorcyclists. My biggest moment of zen (Not z3n, that fucker!!) when riding was realizing that most people don't want to kill you, they're just dumb. Distracted, ignorant, or even shouldn't be operating a vehicle. Any way, getting angry at them is worthless cause they won't get it, you'll just be the rear end in a top hat mad biker they tell people about. Well sure, they don't literally want to kill you. It's just a good idea to behave like they do.

My HJC had an internal sun visor. It was better than nothing but wasn't good enough. I had to stop part way in to my last big road trip and get a pair of sunglasses - much better. My eyes are very sensitive to glare, and the tint was pretty weak.
