Title says it all. It is enough to make you pucker just watching it. It is shot in Australia before you start posting "Why is he on the wrong side of the road!?"

This is why it is advised to stay near the shoulder on a crest. You just never know what is coming the other way.

EXACTLY. until i come up wiht teh funds, i have to ride my goped sans illumination. yes i know stupid as f%$k. BUT have no choice. and if hit i wouldnt hold other driver responsible. BUT that aside. i ride at night  at 11pm. nobody is ever on road there. and i ride wiht a reflective vest. i have hte light to mount , jus have to repurpose a scope mount for a rifly i dug out of my work bench today. and that will be taken care of. anyhoo sorry i agre there. blind hills are hte worst. id rather throw the ride into a ditch vs another vehicle. it USUALLY hurts less.

I'm not actually looking for illumination. I think something was lost in the translation. I am looking for enlightenment - although some of my personalities think I have already attained it.  :dunno_black:

Yama, on the other hand, he writes "illumination" because he doesn't know how to spell "light".

Which reminds me... six or seven months ago I'm riding home from work at night. Along a multi lane road where everyone does 100kph even though it is signposted as 80 (due to roadworks on the other side of the Jersey Barriers that line the road. I see a single light approaching me from behind BUT I can also see it is a car. Not a single headlight working because the light is coming from the middle of the bonnet. It's weaving in and out. As it goes by me I look and see a Dolphin Torch duct taped to the hood and no rear number plate (stolen?)

Ok. Lack of lights here isn't so bad thanks to street lights. BUT, then he takes an exit which goes onto the unlit and totally dark highway. WTF?

So Yama, go grab yourself a torch and duct tape it to the handlebars.
