    Transalp vs Africa Twin choices

    My fellow Wild Dogs My upfront apologies for the long note.. I am in need of some guidance as I seemingly have some crap luck with dealerships these days. No this will not be bashing on dealers.. I truly need some guidance. Recently I could have made some better purchasing decisions hahahaha.😁...

    Helmets - are they status symbols? (POLL ADDED)

    While I do believe that some of the more expensive brands are better in quality, I also do believe that some of the cheaper helments do offer excellent protection. Years and years ago I was planted into the side of a car that skipped a yield sign.... my lafe helmet took a big knock, had it...

    "should see whatever is out there" but DO they actually see........ How many times have you heard the excuse "I did not see you" after an accident?

    Fact is that going orange is one option.... however some guys have been given crap by metro for having a cover that "difuses" the light. I feel that these campaigns are good and I support them, but this one I feel have not taken all facts into consideration.

    I disagree, if you sit on the highway and you see 20 cars in your rearview mirror with their lights on and a bike filters through traffic at a distance, how will you distiguish it headlight from all the other vehicles? If hundreds of cars around you in daytime have their lights on, the bike's...

    Firstly, the campain is aimed at reducing the number of pedestrian an car accidents...... Are we not road users aswell?

    I agree fully.... however this will be law enforcement, this is a Lead SA campain that have already been launched and listening to 94.7 and 702 this morning is widely accepted by motorists without really thinking about the bikes, so they will go ahead and switch their lights on.... too late for...

    This is in essence my gripe with this campain.......... All cars lights on all the time..... Bikes will now just blend in and we are back to square one in making ourselves vissible. Further it does not seem like any bike forums or TB was consulted in this campain Although Lead SA is a novel...

    This morning I just have this bee in my bonnet about Lead SA launching this campain for cars to have there lights on always. Then 702 talk show host says he has had objections but do not understand the bikers reasoning that we will be less vissible. Then he goes further and say many partien...

    Searched, but did not see this topic yet. What do you guys think: is it a good idea that all cars have their headlights on all the time? Will it not make bikes less vissible?
