Xenon


New headlights, to go with all the other new stuff. Brakes, oil, plugs, clutch cables, tires — the bikes are newer than they’ve been in a while.

I redid the whole back end on the wife’s. Repacked the bearings, while I had it apart for new tire & brakes.

As a driver (or rider), the newer headlights are wonderful. As an oncoming driver and night-time pedestrian, I vehemently detest the new super-bright headlights with the intensity of a thousand suns*. Especially the blue-white halogen lights that wipe out my night vision.

*Description applies to both my emotions and to the headlights in question.

There aren't a lot of drivers out here to inconvenience; by night the roads are all but empty, and there's no ambient light except from the moon. Mostly I ride in the daytime anyway; and then the brighter light isn't blinding, but it does help ensure that people are aware that the bike is there.
