Re: Aiming headlights-This doesn't have to be rocket science

["Pen & Adam" <penadam@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

All-
I think there is an much easier way to aim your headlights.
1) Go to you garage and get a screwdriver that can adjust you headlights and
also a flashlight.  Put them in you jacket.
2) Wait until it gets dark (and maybe cold since it is winter).
3) Fire up your ride and head down a dark road at you typical night time
riding speed (I aimed for 55 mph).
4) Are your low beams lighting up the road enough so you could see something
(pothole, opossum with his back turned, armadillo, cat, etc) and have time
to react to it and avoid it?
        - If you don't have enough light then pull over in a parking lot,
get out the handy flashlight and screwdriver and raise you lights.  Then go
back to step 3.
        - If your lights are making you happy then go to your whatever your
idea of fun on a bike is (wheelies, coffee, go home and get warm, etc.)


Just my humble opinion!
