in the past 2 days I have seen 3 bikes with no rear lights and 1 with a brake light jammed on.
so guys make sure your doing your daily spot checks.
Yup just checked…mines still in the garage;)
maybe we need to change the light bulbs :hehe:
seriously tho at times like these, when we are riding in the dark most of the time -(its dark in the morning and the evening) checking all your lights & indicators work is a must
I always check before i go out.
No excuses for not checking regularly on a bike. You can see all of the lights (or the beams/reflections) in about 30 seconds, max.
So explain while I contend I do this regularly that I can’t remember the last time I did this.
Timely reminder.
When i see a bike with a light out ,i usually try to get their attention, or tell the rider at the lights when we stop, but sometimes I think they’re well aware, but just too lazy to change the bulb. Often they just say “Yeah, i know”
I check regularly and have spare bulbs. BUT I’ve been told by a rider that my lights were out when they were not. I was using engine braking/gears and did not come to a complete stop at lights before they changed…
Good reminder.
I charged up the Ducati’s battery last weekend and checked the lights (yes, I was considering going out for a quick blast!). The Riot is a kick start only and kick starting bikes is justtt a lil’bit of an issue at the mo!
Always good to have a reminder, ta!
i always check all mine before i set off any way.
Good call, but even if you are using Engine braking, its wise to give a little squeeze on the foot brake just enough to light your brake light so that some eejot cager does not rear end you 
Quite right. It is something that occured to me after that particular comment. I’ve been doing so when cars are behind.
I never check my lights.
I’m a biker, and that means I’m a rufty tufty rebel and no one’s going to tell me what to do.
If I don’t want to check my lights, then I don’t have to, and I wish all you safety police would just shut up and go play with your beards.
Besides, I’m the only one that’s important here, and I can’t see my brake lights when I’m hooning up the motorway at 100mph on one wheel, so why should it bother me.
And anyway, my “can” is so loud that I don’t need lights. And I never use the brakes anyway, because one of the really-even-more-rufty-tufty-than-me bikers told me that brakes were for cissies.
Ooops, sorry. Wrong thread :Whistling:
