WHAT DO LOTS AND LOTS OF LIGHTS SAY ABOUT THE RIDER?

If motorcycles are truly an extension of one’s personality, what does that mean about the guys and gals that like to add LOTS and LOTS of lights to their favorites motorbikes?

In other words, what kind of person would want MORE MOTORCYCLE LIGHTS as a gift, you might ask?

MORE LIGHTS DO MEAN GREATER VISIBILITY

Most riders leave their motorcycle lights as they came from the factory. But even so, eventually, they will at least need some replacement bulbs for their headlight, brake lights, or any of the truly necessary lamps.

From a practical and safety perspective, more lights on a bike DO increase a rider’s visibleness on the road and would seem to increase the ability for others to see him/her.

Of course, auxiliary driving lights provide more illumination on the roadway ahead, for night riding, which offer obvious safety benefits on their own.

And then you’ve got the guys who add soooooo many lights on their bike they look light a two-wheel rendition of Christmas in Las Vegas.

And what kinds of motorcycle lights are we talking about?

TYPES OF MOTORCYCLE LIGHTS

• Headlights
• Turn Signals
• Brake Lights
• Indicator Bulbs
• License Plate Lights
• Tail Lights
• Driving Lights
• Fog Lights
• Light Bars
• Accent Lights
• Light Strips

Such lights can include replacement light bulbs as well as upgraded brighter bulbs, and/or entire light units with LED, halogen and other light sources. The last few in that list are purely for cosmetics.

So, what do all those extra lights mean about the rider?

I don’t know. Your guess is as good as mine. I certainly don’t think they should be put away from society. Maybe they weren’t allowed to have a night light when they were a kid when they were afraid of the dark. Having said that, and regardless of any safety benefit from adding cosmetic lights to every square inch of a motorcycle, I would bet such a rider simply likes lights….

SOLVED: FOG CURSE ON MOTORBIKES

Do you need MOTORCYCLE FOG LIGHTS?

If you ride in the fog, and particularly if you ride when it’s dark, you’ll wish you had ‘em.

I’ve ridden through fog so dense and heavy that even slowing down to a turtle’s pace seemed too fast.

It can be harder riding through dense fog at night than through a tremendous rain storm. In both cases, your headlight can be refracted through all the water droplets into one big bright wall of nothing, right in front of you. It just seems worse in dense fog – I’m guessing because there are so many more water droplets in the air (and they are much smaller in the fog).

MOTORCYCLE FOG LIGHTS are auxiliary lights mounted low on your bike, typically around the lower area of your front fork. Mounting fog lights closer to the ground helps to minimize reflection from your lights off the fog itself, giving you more of what you bought the darn things for in the first place: do you can see further ahead of you!

MOTORCYCLE DRIVING LIGHTS

Additional, if you can get fog lights with orange or yellow lenses or filters, they are better at penetrating through all those reflective water particles that make up the fog – far better than blue light, which is more common for MOTORCYCLE DRIVING LIGHTS, which are great for increased illumination in the dark, but aren’t as good to help you see through the fog.

And just to make life more interesting for you, many manufacturers don’t differentiate between motorcycle fog lights and motorcycle driving lights, since many consumers aren’t aware of the differences. So, some manufacturers just call any lights they’re selling “fog lights” and “driving lights” in the hopes that you want one of those sets for your bike!
