So on Thursday Horace passed the second MOT (after a shameful 358 Miles since last years MOT) and after a ride around the back roads of Lincolnshire for about 100 miles then parking up and not needing to do anything in the way of quick fixes or feel the need to change anything else - I reckons that's mission accomplished. Anything else is a update and / or improvement and can wait for the winter.

Lights that LIGHT

so after watching some people around the roads with H4 type lights and nearly being cut up with a "dint see you" sort of hand signal....

Take these and be dazzled instead. City 5W vs DRL Halo before and after all on the same bike:

Plus there is a built in indicator in there too

I'll try and get a picture but I'm the mean time try and imagine that the lights of the Halo are individual LEDs - every other one is orange and is the indicator part.

When the indicator is active the white ones go out and the orange ones flash as indicators would.
