Ouch! Not good at all, but glad to hear you're OK... so far (touch wood), I've never had a 'glance' with traffic, and hope I never do.

Thanks.
Last time I was a Kid on my chopper, wasn't looking ran into a parked car head over the handle bars.

Glad you're OK Nigel, more importantly how's the bike light?

As with Potsy hope the light is OK Nigel Mine is all charged and now ready for action. After initial testing and scarring my retina's I believe I have now have the correct angle sorted and now have partial eyesight resumed in one eye.

Yea lights fine, maybe that was what it was it temporarily blinded her.

That front wheel jammed under the rear bumper and the bike stood upright

Very happy with the light. Just a shame I got a flat on the way home and given it was raining could not be arsed to change it on the roadside so got the wife to pick me up.

After Fossy's advice re the bracket I have fettled my spare Hope bracket and it now works perfectly with the T6, will have to get myself another now, just needed a longer screw which I had in the spares box

I haven't tried removing the existing o-ring handlebar mount on the light – is this mount modification as simple as removing one screw from the bottom of the light unit (that fixes the existing mount in place), and then attaching the light to the Hope mount using a longer screw...?

I sincerely hope they DO miss me. But, i take your point and i won't be relying on the light just to be seen

Well my 3 x T6 unit has passed the 'delivery date' I agreed with the seller (taken 2 months since ordering) and is posting another. The single T6 should be here this week though. You never know, the lost one might turn up as well !

The forecast of heavy rain in the morning has had me looking at the connection beween light and battery pack. Doesn't look capable of staying dry. Has anyone had any issues with this?
