DealExtreme do a 1600 Lumen light here. As you will see, it is a fair bit more expensive that the one you have. Also some of the comments suggest that the DealExtreme light is more like a floodlight with quite a diffused throw of light. Personally, I think a more focused beam like the one you...

I'm sorry officer, it is a serious point that you make. I had conjured up this image in my mind of a bloke driving along making strange noises at seemingly random intervals. It was probably a bit juvenile on my part.

I bet the miles just fly by on those long monotonous journeys........

The problem with ANPR is that there are already so many vehicles with markers on them that the system is overwhelmed with hits. Heavy filtering is used to remove the background clutter of unpaid fines, no keeper, no insurance and possibly used by disqualified driver markers, just to stand a...

.........and then the number of people driving whilst disqualified and driving without insurance would increase. What do we then do with these people?

I have noticed this too. Not only on their mobile phones but, increasingly, the number of people sending text messages or ,with the increased popularity of smart phones, updating their Facetube / Titter status whilst driving. This is worse than holding a conversation because it absorbs more...

It will need to be good to catch the eye of a lorry driver. They are usually engrossed in their laptop computers or watching a DVD as they thunder along.

Good advice Steve. I use one of these at all times of day throughout the year.

Xipi's absence from this thread probably tells you all that you need to know.

Is your motor of the crank drive type? I thought the Bosch, Panasonic and maybe the new Kalkhoff drives switched themselves off once that the max assist speed had been exceeded.

The LED lights that I have linked to above are worth looking at. They aren't torches and some have several different modes of brightness. By using the appropriate mode and sensible mounting of the light, no one has died.

I have used lights from DealExtreme and found them to be excellent. Their range of lights are here and some go up to 1600 Lumen output.

It's not a case of expecting it James, they simply don't, "take off" in the way that you are suggesting. Maybe the Flyers that you used to sell had this characteristic, but the Panasonic powered bikes that I have tried and the one that I own have no hint of this power surge. Everything is very...

I have heard this characteristic mentioned by other people too but, I have to say that it does not exist on my 2008 Panasonic driven bike. It simply does not happen, so maybe they have revised the software.

If you are over 25, do not under any circumstances wear Lycra. It looks ridiculous, is very unpleasant for third party observers and will frighten children.

Maybe, but there must be something beneficial to the braking system if it is so widely used in other countries. We in the UK seem to in the minority, probably due to a touch of, "we've always done it this way" prevailing.

A friend of mine has the Shimano roller & ramp brakes on his Giant Escape R8. Granted, they don't have the power or feel of a decent set of rim brakes, but they aren't too bad. I think incorporating them into a pedal type brake is a good idea and I'd like to see the principle retained on the UK...

Being a bit of a thicky, can I ask some idiot question? What is an Impulse drive? How does an Impulse drive differ from the present Panasonic drive? Why is an Impulse drive better / worse than any bother type of drive?

We currently have a climate where people's wages are being frozen and in many cases being reduced, where energy companies' corporate greed is erroding family budgets, pensions and future financial plans are under relentless attack and inflation is devaluing savings. With all of this set against...

Some fair comments Eddie. I think you do tend to give an inference that the Bosch system is in some way better than the Panasonic, rather than just drawing people's attention to the fact that the Bosch exists as another option. I can see some valid reasons why you prefer it, but please don't...
