Out today on new RT LE

[busy builder]

Oooooh I soooo love this bike

I'm just getting used to the gear change system, I've had the audio on both radio and aux/usb it's very clear even up here in the Twighlight Zone.

I've had a play with the lights but decided to leave them on the LED's and auto, a car was going to pull out on me but when she saw the LED's decided not to, I think they catch drivers eyes better than a normal headlamp.

The bike feels lighter and slightly twitchier than my old 2013RT, probably down to ergonomics of the bike, but it's easy to do U turns on.

I can see me putting some miles on this bike.

PS....nerdy anoraky point about the LEDs......you're almost certainly right about the attention they draw....LEDs actually flash (modulate) really fast....too fast for the brain to consciously "see" as flashing, but within the range that they are picked up as something very different to a non-modulating light source.

If you watch a video of any bike/car fitted with LEDs, there's a very good chance that they will appear to flash at a couple of hertz....that's because of the FPS overlapping (There's a technical term for this but I can't remember what it is ) with the frequency of the LED modulation......same principle as 'seeing' a propeller or a cart wheel go backwards on TV.

Yes, LEDs DO attract the eye better than most other light sources
