why does something need to cost $200 for it to do the job? it it's cheap, and gets the job done... whats wrong with that?

Hell I would duct tape a $5 flashlight to my handlebars if it wouldnt look like crap. $15-$200, what does it matter, as long as it gets you from A to B.

I've tried a few eBay lights deals and I've had bad luck. First off some are not as bright and others just don't last. I had one tail light last about 4 days then just quit. Hardly worth the time and money to return to China. Since then I got a NightRider SOL and couldn't be happier. It did cost $89 but it's bright and reliable.

evilbay, thats your problem. you reeeally have to watch what you buy on that site now days. either you'll receive complete junk or get ripped off. but, you can also find some real gems, just takes some searching.

I just set a computer reminder for me to check in with this web site and start looking at weather reports for warm riding days to start commuting again - probably won't start again 'till the end of February 2010 ...
