    Sorry for the delay replying. Yes, those are high beams. Visibility was much better than the camera indicates. I ride with high beams on ALL THE TIME. They are just a bit brighter than low beams on my car.

    Nice! Perfect season for cider. I used it as a grape press. It was a hand-me-down from my dad. That thing made a lot of wine over the years, but I pulled it out for a guy who was showing up the next day to buy it. I haven't made wine in years, and rarely drink it (or anything) anymore.

    You have to love the sound of those old Japanese inline fours, Honda, Yamaha, Kawasaki... not so sure about Suzuki though...
    As a kid watching the first Mad Max, I fell in love with the sound of those Z1000's.
    I saw a video of a Z1300 turbo, man that thing sounds great!
    Also love the sound of Honda's 1978-82 CBX1000, and that engine looks awesome.
    I know you can't really hear my bike, but I had to put baffles in it as the previous owner put Harley slip ons on it (sans baffles), the baffles really brought that purr back.

    i know what you mean, it's hard to capture on a camera, what you actually see.
    i keep my high beam a little higher than yours though

    For some reason tonight I got a couple people flashing me, normally none to one.
    I want to install a driving/high beam/landing light to really brighten things up on those rural roads.
