    Just got in, other than getting caught along with SteveeP behind a mobile home being transported on the ride from the 1066 which "almost" resulted in a very overheated TZR it was great. Nice and much cooler ride back and surprised a couple of bikes that blasted past me so decided to tail them with my little 2T. Couldn't lose me through the bends - much fun!!

    I really dislike riding at dusk, my dusk vision is bad, especially when my visor is covered in little monsta's and seems I get dazzled easily by oncoming cars...almost missed a bend or two on the way home and rode like a grandma...

    had a great night, ride home wasn't too bad either apart from the abundance of kamikaze bugs that peppered my visor.. oh and the detour through brookland/brenzett to get home as there was an accident just after the camber road turnoff from rye, which had shut the road ... :thumbsdown:

    On the topic of glasses: I just got new specs yesterday - a revelation! The vision equivalent of picking up your car from service and experiencing what it felt like when it was new. Am still wandering around with a silly grin. Actually, as I usually look like that, now I have justification!

    It's probably 6 years since I had an eye test. :-/. Naughty man.

    I'm with you on this too....I was wondering if its because I now wear contact lenses as I cant remember it being a problem pre lenses, trouble is I cant check if it is......without them I cant see a thing!

    That's what the optician told me (you can go off people you know!!) Now I have to wear glasses for night driving and will be seeing if I can get some contact lenses. Yuuch, getting older sucks!

    No contact lens make it better :thumbsup: night riding with glasses is when it becomes a real pain. Glare from headlights on both your visor and then your glasses means you can't see anything :eek:

    Yes, you ARE naughty. I have an eye test every 2 years even though the optician said I only need one every 3.

    I enjoyed my ride home, especially the bit down the road to Laughton :)
