    I've had pretty much the same experience with Lumicycle. The even lent me a battery for SITS a couple of years ago. I've currently got 3 Lumi batteries and various other lamps, so a new one will fit all my existing stuff. I'm a bit miffed that I'd bought an LED3 lamp just before they brought out the LED4 ones though...

    I've got a vision 4 too, nicely made bit of kit. Needed it today, it was so dark in bits of the forest I couldn't see the trail. One guy actually went past us with lights on at about 1:30 :shock:
    It's easier to ask for forgiveness than for permission.

    I've bought a new bike....ouch - result
    Can I buy a new bike?...No - no result

    Why on earth would anyone wear sunglasses when the weather Ain't even tropoical by any standards .. and wearing such things whilst bike riding in non sunny conditions is beyond me .


    Sunglasses are for sunny in your eyes weather you the weather of the better kind that we experienced around May then the mongo weather people said it was gonna be a barbecue summer .. the biggest gaff since michael fish said on tv of the storm that wasn't gonna happen

    It's on par with those whallopers that wear those uber gay scarfs and a t shirt and big heavy jackets

    If you like it stay, if not sod off back where you came from and stop moaning.
  • Calm down, seriously. I wasn't moaning, I'm trying to work out what it's like here. I'm on here cos everyone keeps whinging about UKMB dying and how this place has more traffic, so I thought I'd check it out.

    Yeah, cos they're really bad cars. People who have them have a serious problem trying to justifiy their purchase to everyone else, whilst deep down inside, they know they've wasted their money...

    Just google troutelight. ;)
    The trouble with having an open mind, of course, is that people will insist on coming along and trying to put things in it.
