WOW, that would be great on a snowmobile, (something I had actually thought about a long time ago). Just backing off the gas on a sled is a major slow down and trail riding in a group almost always ends up having a rear end tap once or twice.
So I wonder, what are the statistics on motorcycles being rear ended?
Don't know and couldn't find a clear breakdown that would show this.
However, I've been rear ended 6 times in my life that I can think of. It's an accident that you the driver have minimal control over. One of those times was on a motorcycle. It was never pleasant, not even on the bike.
I've been riding street for more than 30 years and visibility is very important, so if the flashing light is annoying to the driver behind you then they're paying attention.In today's world of most texting and everything else out on the road, riders need every advantage to stay safe.But then to each their own.Stay safe.
People behind me must really get mad I have tour pack lights flashing too. Gear brake module.
I just had a friend get rear ended last fall. Lots and lots of physical therapy and still not right. 30 MPH intersection, guy was looking at a map they say.
People need to wake up and pay attention.
Put away the distractions.
[QUOTE=Mickey Shane;13943874]When I first saw a flashing brake light on a bike I thought it was cool. That is, until I followed that rider for a few miles in stop and go traffic.
I would like to have one that I could switch in and out of the circuit. Out for stop and go commuting and in for long lonely highways at night. But then I realized that I could actually tap my brake pedal 3 times and save a bunch of money.
