Um Yeah run back to last night, should be good ..
Generally you will see a glow in the Northern hemisphere, early to late evening in the UK. There may be a purple to red tint to the sky, with the naked eye, when viewed from the southern UK territories. You need to photo the sky area on a long exposure, at least 2-3 seconds to reveal the true aurora. Even with a mobile phone, on a tripod. Longer the better. Naked eye is not so effective.Just catching up on this. Should I be able to see a noticeable glow in the sky? Maybe I’ll stay up late to look. Should be brighter up here since I’m much further north. Lol. Perhaps I’ll drive up north a bit to get away from the city lights.
No matter how comfy I couldn't relax on a bike with no front brake.
. . . pulled right out at us . . . might have made the difference yesterday . . .
So thankful you were paying attention.”Country Roads,Take me Home”,but not yet.No matter how comfy I couldn't relax on a bike with no front brake.
Took Allison to lunch on madness yesterday. Wide open area, only traffic, us and a car.
We were taking a left, no stop sign.
Guy coming from left came to a stop. Then pulled right out at us. I hadda use the brakes hard and straightened my line. He FINALLY saw us and stopped. I had been watching him and was slowed in time that he wouldn't have run us over. If I hadn't been paying attention to him we would have hit. Went very slowly around him and gave the stink eye. He was pretty embarrassed, We would have been maimed or dead.

The extra margin of dual disks and a fresh front tire riding two up, might have made the difference yesterday.

I find the mismatched tones of a pair of BMW car horns excellent for putting the peasants in their place.Last ride I had a couple of people pull out in front of me. I think they believe right of way is determined by the size of the vehicle. Good blast of the horn and the evil eye were delivered in both cases. Although it’s not visually pleasing on the XS, an air horn gets people‘s attention. I’ve used, and still use the Stebel Nautilus horn on my vehicles and past bikes with good success. Compact and loud AF.
That poor Sporty tired and needed a nap?Just another fun day in the garage.
