A friend and fellow idiot sent me this link

I am impressed and bow down to this guy. [and I'm glad I live nowhere close to him.]

?

I gave up bicycles when I turned 16 for motorcycles with the logic "Now I can outrun cars...."

?

They still don't see you, even at night with your headlight on drivers will cut you off with frightening regularity. I gave up on motorcycles after seeing two young riders get splatted by a 'queen mary' [any large car] while driving down the road. The bikers were in their lane driving sanely, the cars just ran them down.

?

Anyway, the light from a Honda CA-77, CB-350, CB-360 wasn't anything to write home about and it was easy to outdrive your headlight, outdrive refers to driving faster than you can see ahead. [perhaps one shouldn't drive 80MPH on narrow back roads.....]

?

Now this headlight would let you see far enough ahead to be useful....but blind the poor sod coming at you so he'd probably splat you.

?

While I've kept my motorcycle endorsement, that's more because I'm stubborn then practical. There is no way I'd ride a motorcycle unless my life depended on it. I suspect my artificial knees would be most displeased.

Consider the project as proof humans can do amazingly stupid things....I'm proud to be a member of such an inventive species. Worry about our long term survival chances, but what the heck, we can have fun in the mean time.
