I'm sure you can borrow someone's lights-if you are a real masochist I'll let you use mine...I take no responsibility for your safety though-probably better to ride with a penlight clenched between your teeth.

If any of you are looking for light systems I will keep my eye out for end of season closeouts from my suppliers. I got my 20 watt system (more than sufficient for night riding) for $50 on closeout last year. If I come across anything I will post up.

Please do Keith I've been looking for a good lighting system to rig to a street luge for awhile. Snake Road in Burlington is heat during the day and unlit at night which is so unfortunate, its one of the nicest hills around Toronto.

See how easy he thinks it is to use a motorcycle head light with a portable/rechargable 12v system.

Ill Mitch 09-20-06 03:34 PM

Urbane has a ****tonne, but maybe Keith over at Cavern has some too.

operator 09-20-06 07:12 PM

I'm running the Topeak wedge which Cavern has. It's nice and durable, only wished it was waterproof.

Laphroig? DOH! I will bring the Laphroig and the Dalwhinnie...you bring the Cellar 13 and A'bunadh..Deal?
Also I have the lock you won in the raffle...its a beast...especially handy in these sad times of rampant bike theft.
Also Jacques got his bike back so if you see any Pista riders out there leave em alone.

i've got a model by ortlieb that i picked up at urbane. it's waterproof and has a buckle mechanism that snaps right onto your saddle rails without straps. nice design.

jeremywhitehorn 09-21-06 07:25 AM

i have some balvenie i could bring (not quite a full bottle); if we're really doing this i might pick up some oban at the LCBO though...

Shiznaz 09-21-06 07:35 AM

I can bring a big honking bottle of Déistineach whiskey. You guys are sure to love it!
