Lmao .. Yeah ok fair enough .. You try copping a cicada on a knee scar at 135k tho .. Im old and fragile and not made out of super ball rubber anymore .. Hence my love of atgatt .. Not have leather suit or pants yet .. Just kevlar lined jeans ..
But do you know where i can pick up a case of that stuff? Lol

Um, try getting hit in the throat by a rock at 120km thrown up by a Busa zipping by at, I don't know, 160-ish. Ir a rock in the end of the finger under the same conditions. Bugs are nothing. I hit a bird in the shoulder at 100-ish once. Bugs pale in comparison.

I'll send you some cement sachets so you can add them to your morning coffee. Will that do?  :icon_mrgreen:

@Galahs, so how long did you have the Philips bulb? How long it lasted?
I just ordered one on eBay from UK.

My classes end at night this semester and I will need some extra light. Thanks for your comparison photos and opinion.

Make sure to set your camera to Manual so we don't get compensated exposures.  :thumb:

umm .. Mister .. Cant do cement sachets .. Dentist made me swear off them .. May try chewing on some rusty nails tho so who knows

on the lights issue i did have a pair of Phillips plus 80's in my twin lights .. Till last night ride when 1 blew .. Had to replace it with a standard unit .. Can see the difference really easy with the side by side setup .. Will use the remaining 80 in the fairing when it goes back on .. Till that one goes too and it will be a plus 100 or a 4500k 'fatboy' unit from my local 4wd shop .. They sell some interesting high output globes as the offroad crew like to go extreme everything .. Have used some b4 in a set of long range driving lights and they do work well

Can always add a teaspoon of cement to your coffee or snort a line of the stuff. Chewing nails is just silly  :icon_mrgreen:
