Does it bother you, to see a line of headlights permanently on, threading their way along the trail?
I think it makes us more conspicuous to other country users - rightly or wrongly
Modern bikes have the lights permanently on & I don't care for if
I prefer lights off ......on the trails
It is more agreeable to my mind
What are your views ?
As a fellow Luddite, I totally agree JB!
I like to have as low a profile as possible off-road, like you mention elsewhere in the thread, quiet exhaust too. A ribbon of lights across a Shropshire hillside is not a positive one I feel. Lights go back on as I hit tarmac, sometimes I forget, either way..
But a few bikes with lights on is nothing compared to the all terrain, 4wd, winching eedjits I came across a few weeks ago, full Camel trophy lights on producing enough light to cause light pollution in a city!
