Okay a little history, I do not drive or ride after dark. I will drive if I absolutely have to and ONLY if I wear my glasses. I can't see worth a fooey with my contacts at night.
So, on the Volusia, I'd go to bike nights and the first sign of the sun starting to set, it was gear up and haul butt to get close to home before dark and I couldn't see.
So, on the 3rd, I went to our bike night. It was cold and I picked the wrong jacket to wear but other than that, it was a nice little ride. I will be investing in the hand guards next week just too keep the cold wind off my hands and hopefully love bugs in May/September months.
Anyhow, I stayed at the restaurant talking with everyone until way after dark. I thought I need to test the headlights to see if I would have any troubles. Billy showed up in his truck since he came straight from work. I tell you what, the headlamps on the 400 are way better for me than on the Volusia. I don't know if it is because of the dual lights or what but I was able to go the speed limit and feel comfortable with my sight. And the high beam. WOW! I was on cloud 9. I have ridden but once around the block after dark and that wasn't a real test.
What can I say but I get happier and happier with Putterbug the more I ride it. Going on a chapter ride on the 13th if there is no rain and then another on the 20th. Woo Hoo!!!!
