It was fine until I had to stop at traffic lights and could feel my fingers grilling. For weeks after people kept asking why I had red stripes down my fingers!<br /><br />6v lighting I had forgotten that, "Joseph Lucas, Prince of darkness" as a friend always used to say when starting his BSA!Conniesdadnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7099099432720184584.post-59932554425339084102012-02-02T21:03:15.190+00:002012-02-02T21:03:15.190+00:00Nice one, Joe .

It was fine on the bike, but I disliked wearing it to the pub or whatever, as the bulky jacket and enormous salopettes made me look like a North Sea fisherman on shore leave. The new kit is closer fitting (yes, really, a whole two exes smaller) and looks much better off the bike. But, more suitable for autumn and spring than a cold winter.<br /><br />Ah, 6v alleged 'lighting'. Trying to ride an unlit road by the brown glow of a Lucas headlamp.
