I had a great ride in today. We are getting warm weather in the Detroit area and I got my replacement battery from Blackburn for my System X3. They replaced it with the battery from the X6! I used the flashing setting on it this morning and you can see all the signs and stuff in front of me for a couple hundred feet flashing. That should let the cars know I'm there. The guard at the gate liked my flasher, he said it looked like a cop pulling without the other colors. He said I needed a red one, I told him I have two on the rear of the bike. I got over heated on the way, so I stopped to strip down to my shorts and jersey.
