Been wondering about you, haven't seen you on any cruises or at any shows. Didn't make it today, took the grandkids to the county fair. More fun and way more expensive.

[QUOTE=cmb13;1563903729]If you've had a cop behind you, I would think blackouts are the last thing you'd be worried about. How about the rumble and lope of the cam, or the whine of the supercharger?

Craig, thanks, like I don't have enough to worry about

Thats all b4 your windshileid knock down a few % call that 5

now you are under 10.

With the sun directly behind you shining into the emitted light you are down under 5.

These numbers aren't perfect, but you get the point.

s

The emitted light bouncing off your retina is less than 10% of an unfiltered light bulb.


No BS. Big gamble on those blackouts.

really good to know...but scary thot, then that means w/ those polarized lenses, even w/o the blackouts, and leave 35~40% left? They should definitly outlaw those lenses!!

Just got mine...
