My crappy secondhand $4 Adidas windcheater does OK most times. I can't comment on the vests you have mentioned as I probably can't afford them I was going to say they're dirt cheap, but they're not quite $4. I thought mine were NZo brand, but I can't find the vests online at the moment. We bought on special, and I think they were around $20, but don't quote me. Although I haven't ridden *all* night, or anywhere near it, there's something special about a full moon night ride - moreso if you opt to ride stealth. [1] Off road is best, of course. ****ing crazy to ride stealth at night, I reckon!!! I just haven't got the guts any more, mate The scariness is part of the fun! On second thoughts, I guess I'd probably do it if it was on one of those cycleways Clover is building though, but you did say "offroad" so I'll havta pass until I build up more kahunas [1] danger Will Robinson - I bear a scar on my eyelid from riding stealth and hitting a tree branch that was across the track at eye height. Lucky I wasn't blinded or knocked unconscious. Saw lots of stars that night.but they seemed to be inside my head. Man, you are lucky indeed!! I have a chipped tooth from missing the "good line" on the foopath during a stealth session ages ago - I think the footpath thought I was trying to kiss it and the footpath objected to my ugly face ) I will not mention the chewy bits of "something" from around the inside of my bottom lips But then, I was not offroad so I guess it was not quite like being smacked in the face with a tree branch I dunno, the branch flexed, if only a little, the ground doesn't flex at all. ;^) Tony F |

Hey, everyone, he said $20 ) Although I haven't ridden *all* night, or anywhere near it, there's something special about a full moon night ride - moreso if you opt to ride stealth. [1] Off road is best, of course. ****ing crazy to ride stealth at night, I reckon!!! I just haven't got the guts any more, mate The scariness is part of the fun! I hate to admit it but you're kinda right there. I have a chipped tooth from missing the "good line" on the foopath during a stealth session ages ago - I think the footpath thought I was trying to kiss it and the footpath objected to my ugly face ) I will not mention the chewy bits of "something" from around the inside of my bottom lips But then, I was not offroad so I guess it was not quite like being smacked in the face with a tree branch I dunno, the branch flexed, if only a little, the ground doesn't flex at all. ;^) The ground may not flex but parts of my face do |
