Have you checked out the AYUP lights?www.ayup.com. These look
seriously good. For some reason they come in a multi-light package,
but you could split an order with a mate and have two sets for around
$200 each. Anyone keen to split with me?

You mean you get two twin beam units (i.e. 4 lights) or are you saying
you'd like to split up the twin beams?

Boganup sounds like a country town in WA. If it doesn't exist, it ought to.
To match Bogan Gate in NSW.

Across the street from our house is...http://tinyurl.com/2chspg
Needless to say the aforementioned bogans come to steal the sign about
four times a year.

So now it is up to Vic, Qld, Tas and SA to give their bogans a home.

That is GOLD!!!!

Google only shows a location of Bogan in NSW. Funnily enough it's near a
town called Nevertire, which would be a good place for cyclists.

20km south of my town is a town called Mummballup. The pub there used to
sell tee shirts that on the front said "Where the hell is Mummballup?",
and on the back said "Half way between Yabberup and Noggerup!".

Mountain bike riders from Bunbury that ride at the Pile Road circuit
will tell you that the first house on Pile Road proudly calls itself
Hemmeroid House.

Hilarity ensues, Vic: http://tinyurl.com/25lpfw, NSW:

Although I though Bogan Road was closer to Melton Mowbray.

Have a look at the standard pack. It already comes with two light
units, one large LIPP and two small ones. You can add a second charger
and a second large LIPP (called something politically incorrect), and
split it into two sets. Monsterman has done this.

Bogan is situated by the Bogan River, in the Bogan Shire.

This part of it (not too far from Bogan) seems to have more than its
fair share. You can avoid them by getting up early, but you still have
to watch out for their droppings in the bike lanes.

I presume the helmet mounted one and the bar mounted one are the same
light, different mounts. So you would get 2 x Twin light units, each
one with it's own mounting for it's purpose.

Has anyone used them? Do they throw a good beam? Weigh much?

Both of these are streets ahead of the little button-cell elastic fastened
blinkies. I've observed riders with these on as the sole light around town
and they are disturbingly not visible in traffic.

That depends on the button, some are dim, some are very bright, and
they're very reliable in my experience too.

I just borrowed, then bought, Bikeguy FX5 + RX6 buttons.
Front 5 leds, Rear 6 leds. The front has some see ability, IF you
place it so it doesn't blind you.
