Is that a threat?

You are even sadder than I imagined.

I see that reading not your strong point either.

What a moderating team - you lock the thread another unlocks it.

It's not a threat mate, just a warning. You are barking up the wrong tree.

Keep posting though as I'm sure that everyone on this site finds you highly amusing

Since we are open again

FJSRiDER - What is the thinking behind linking semiotics and headlight use? The combination appears flawed, but perhaps I am missing something...

Semiotics - the study of signs and symbols. The use of daytime headlights sends a sign to other road users....

But I'm not going to get into that here - way beyond the grasp of the ones that only want to have a go at me and it isn't really worth my time and trouble.

Whats so wrong with loud pipes. Its an unwritten fact that loud pipes save lives. I on more than one occasion have only been noticed by a car driver thanks to me revving my bike and if my pipes weren't loud then they wouldn't have heard me.

Mate, don't go there, he'll go off on one again, if we ignore him maybe he'll go. I've read numerous posts on VD about the subject (most of them started by him) and they go on forever.

The "semiotics" as you like to call it of headlights during the day is flawed. Many people argue that the usage of headlights in natural sunlight can in fact have the adverse effect on car users pulling out of junctions. This is due to the refraction of light making the bike appear much further away than it really is.

This is also the reason that a lot of bikes that have twin normal beam lights have a higher chance of being pulled out on, mainly at night due to the fact that the appearance of two headlights could indicate that it is a car driving from the distance, when in fact it is a bike waiting to be T-Boned. Therefore bikes only have 1 normal beam as standard due to a EU directive from about 5 years ago.
