contact lens wearer
The Jade Mongoose replied to a topic in Clothing, Luggage, Accessories and Security
I'm going back to contacts after a year of riding with glasses. Want the better field of vision, and i can wear wrap-around sunglasses with contacts in I use monthly ones cos they don't dry out as quickly as daily ones i find. -

Me and WalneyFrankie just fitted a set of Oxford ones to my bandit, took about an hour at most to fit and wire in. Most difficult was getting the old grips off. Also, apparantly the Oxford ones will switch off automatically if the battery voltage drops below 11.4 volts, leaving you with enough power to start the bike next time, just in case you leave them on. Though as TimR says, the LED is pretty chuffing bright. Not had chance to ride with them yet, but hoping for good results... -

Went to York from Kendal this weekend for 3 days with sleeping bag, roll mat, loads of clothes, shoes and loads of other crap - got it all on like this: http://img134.imageshack.us/img134/8054/mattybikeluggagery1.jpg The topbox is bolted on to the rack at the back, magnetic expandable tank bag, and the tailbag is strapped onto the seat. Also got sports panniers for when my lovely pillion prohibits the tailbag! -

Went to Devils this morning for a brew before work (around half 10) and there were 20 or 30 bikes there by then. Gorgeous sunshine, and really quite warm in the sun. Had my glove liners on today though, it's a bit cool when you get going! -

At work unfortunately mate. Might be up for a quick blast to devils after work sunday (4.30pm) but that's about the limit of my riding this weekend And it's sooo nice out too! -
Stopped for an ice cream in Leyburn and Simon phoned me from devils, so met him at Hawes for a brew then headed back for about 5ish i think. On the way back i thought i was fairly motoring til another bandit 6 overtook me like i was going backwards! Great weekend though, it was so good i forgot to take any photos! P.S. Isn't a brown sash the 2nd highest? (Except the 6 black sash grades)
