Things I learned on my first night time ride in 7 months..
#15
I ride at night on the city's well lit streets and freeways. Outside of town, not so much. I was particularly reluctant with the CB11 since the headlight seemed to only illuminate about 15-20 ft. in front of the bike. Everything beyond that was dark. This is particularly disturbing on rural, unlit back roads.

I fixed that tonight. Looks like it was just poor adjustment at the factory. I did some experimenting on one of our darker neighborhood streets and found an angle that sends the beam out much farther, but doesn't bother oncoming drivers. Simple fix. I should have done this a long time ago.
