Rear fog light?

Hi All,

Has anyone found a way of getting a rear fog light on your motorcycle,
or any equivalent solution?

Thank you,

Jose B. Ruivo

 

I agree. Even in the cage I'm one of the last to use my rear fog lamp.
Even then you really only need to use one lamp, and not two. Tests have
shown that two can be actually more dangerous as the people behind
cannot easily see brake lights coming on. Fog lamps are designed so they
have a more intense light than anything else.

Of course on a bike this is something you can't overcome, I've never
considered using a fog lamp on a bike. Having said that, as a biker
you're not so like to be a numpty and leave it on are you ? ;-)

 

AOL - the number of people we stop for driving with fogs on ("but they're
driving lamps officer") and haven't a clue how to switch them off, or that
they were even on in the first place.

I like to think I'm better than an average road user.

Indeed, or their mirrors, or use their indicators.

They usually make sure they know how to use the stereo though, and I'll
bet they know how to send a photo on their mobile phone (while driving
along of course!).

 

And worse... the fog lights are so fucking bright that you
can't see the brake lights come on... as you sail into the
back of the rapidly decelerating car in front.

I will use rear fog lights if I can't see anything behind me
but switch them off as soon as I do.

If someone leaves them on, burning out my retina, I'll
return the compliment by putting my headlights on full beam.

If I were a janitor I'd be pulling fuckers over for having
fog lights on.

Oh, and I'd shoot the cunts with front ones on at any time
or under any weather conditions; they don't cause me a
problem as such, but I hate to see people looking like
they're enjoying imagining that their POS car looks 'kewl'.
Actually I just hate to see people enjoy themselves.

 

Yes thanks.
You need a bike, some wire, a switch, a fuse and holder, a warning
lamp or LED and a red lamp, a few connectors, some tape, and cable
ties, maybe a relay, if you are that way inclined.
Then you put it all together in a heap and incant the words "work you
fucker".

I have a very bright red lamp on the back of my Pan. It works very
well when combined with the red and orange stripes.

Carbide lamp with a red filter?

 

Of course ;-)

Have you seen the latest batch of Britain's Worst Drivers?

They are very frightening!

 

Hmmm, yes that thought did occur to me too, the fact they get given a
car just for being the biggest improver of the week.

There is no way that they can improve that much in such a short time.

Never made it to the hedge, that Frag's favourite place.
Bike parked neatly on the verge at the side of a roudabout facing the
wrong way with me sitting next to it is my particular speciality.

I don't, I'm a crap car driver imo. Other people think differently
though.

That's the kind of **** you want to see locked up.

 

I think you just need to have a bit of road sense, some observation
skills, and the abiltity to anticipate possible hazards. That would
certainly put you above the average driver in this country.

 

I would hope that's tongue in cheek, otherwise that's a silly statement.

 

Why?

Actually yes, it was said tongue in cheek, but only because I know it
would never happen.

Of course I do realise in this country we can only lock him up *after*
he's killed someone.

Judging by the results of a 7.5 tonne truck driving assessment I had last
week, I'm fucked on all those scores, even though I didn't even crash the
truck or force anyone off the road.

Yet! ;-)

 

And because too many twats don't know when to use them and turn them on
at all sorts of times, leaving you trying to drive being dazzled by this
huge red ball of light.

Ban them, I say.

I use mine in lousy weather, but with the headlights on the sidelight
setting, rather than dipped. The lower ligts are better at cutting
through fog and dazzle others less IMHO.

 

The biggest fuckwits of all are the ones that drive at night on side
lights and front fog lights.
