Polarized sunglasses are the solution. The right pair will leave your colors right, unless you have some hindering level of colorblindness.

I drive east to go to work at one job. So I leave before the sun is up and all the snooze button hang overs that race to be late are still hitting that loozer button. I get done around 9am and see them moving about 2mph heading east as I head west at the speed limit or a little over.

Meanwhile as someone who drives a metric ass ton, if im going the speed limit from a stop light, by the time i get to the next light it will be red again. However, if i go ~5-10 over i will hit that light and most of the next lights on yellow or green.

Lovely ride 😊 Wild life is definitely an issue around here😊 Down the small country lanes deer, foxes, pheasants and rabbits everywhere. One of the reasons I like having a bike that makes a bit of noise, puts them on alert. It’s not the whole answer but I am sure it helps. Probably no help on a highway but certainly on the country lanes😊 Thanks TR 😊
@Thruxtonrider216 ай бұрын
Thanks TAYM.
