I arrive at my office each day very early, long before the sun rises, even in summer when the days are longer.  Bless him, he bought me a pair of very bright &#8220;motolights,&#8221; which are halogens mounted on the front brake calipers at the bottom of the forks.  See what they look like&#8230;<br \/>\n<!--more--><br \/>\n&#8230;below.  <\/p>\n<p>These lights form an ultrabright &#8220;be seen&#8221; view of an oncoming motorcycle.  Together with the bike&#8217;s riding lights, it makes an impressive scene &#8212; or &#8220;be seen&#8221; &#8212; appearance.  <\/p>\n<p>I picked up my Harley from the motorcycle service dept. (who installed the lights) on Saturday.  The weather was so pleasant (62F, 16.7C) that I rode the loooooooong way home.  Unfortunately, a lot of salty road spray from melting snow got on my boots, leathers, and motorcycle.  I hate cleaning that stuff off the leathers and bike, but it had to be done so the leathers and chrome would not be permanently damaged.<\/p>\n<p>Life is short:  See and be seen!<br \/>\n<img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.bootedmanblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/Bikelights2.jpg?resize=484%2C800\" alt=\"Bikelights2\" width=\"484\" height=\"800\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-6645\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.bootedmanblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/Bikelights2.jpg?w=484&amp;ssl=1 484w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.bootedmanblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/Bikelights2.jpg?resize=300%2C496&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.bootedmanblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/Bikelights2.jpg?resize=91%2C150&amp;ssl=1 91w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.bootedmanblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/Bikelights2.jpg?resize=182%2C300&amp;ssl=1 182w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 484px) 100vw, 484px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My beloved spouse worries about me riding my Harley to work in the dark.
