Very nice, I had watched your videos on youtube several times, nice to see you on here and to get a play by play for each video...
I agree with not regretting the Dinotte, seriously the first night you fire that thing you will be absolutely blown away. For months I would find any excuse to ride at night just to play with the light. You look behind you and see everything that is remotely reflective light up. Its always fun too to set up different lights a good distance away and see the difference, or have someone ride away from you and switch the lights to see the difference haha.
I even got to the point of having a friend ride off to somewhere unknown to me in the neighborhood and downtown, and surprise me with different light set-ups. Not necessarilly knowing where to look for him, I would drive around in my car trying not to "look" for him till i randomly came upon him to see what it was like coming up on each light set-up while driving a car... It was pretty fun for me and made it blatently clear how much faster you pick up the Dinotte while driving in a car.
That being said, I sometimes ride a lot of short hops at night so it can kind of be a pain if im only going a few blocks to take off and put back on the Dinotte several times, when with others all I have to do is unclip it. Now its really just a minor annoyance, as im talking only about 30 seconds (uses an easy o-ring attachment style, fiddling with the velcro for the battery is the bulk of the time) to remove/install the Dinotte which isnt much, but compared to the 1 sec of a clip on light it seems laborious, plus i use a front Dinotte 200l which adds to the time... But it is well worth it!
So all in all I still use the superflash for real quick hops, or if im just going to the bars and dont have a backpack or jacket to stash the Dinotte front/rear lights in. But even then or if its for more than just a few blocks its the Dinotte all the way. And now I'm completely spoiled to it, as when i use the superflash I feel like there is nothing back there when i turn around and dont see the road and everything else reflective blaze red!
It rocks and with the short $100 dollar sale going on with Dinotte's front/amber/rear lights its now a lot more reasonable, and easier to talk yourself into getting one. Even so i would gladly pay the full $179 or whatever if mine were ever broken/stolen if that tells you anything...
