Get a modulating headlamp control, makes you much more visible, and&nbsp\\; pay attention, never&nbsp\\; go against your instincts, if something tells you to slow down do it, and enjoy the great ride. &nbsp\\;

Congrats! and visibility is the problem. I drive with my spots on all the time. Also, buy the HD air pump and use it for a great ride.
