Pro tip for Raptor owners.......

[Oldfart]

Don't go into a congested, tight, downtown area with your awesome new Raptor and have your eyes fully dilated for a cataract study at noon on a bright sunny day, and then drive yourself home.



Holy moly!!!

what’s a little driving by braille amongst friends?

I don't know why but every time I see a post from old fart, smurf or 911, I expect to see something bodily fluid related. I was pleasantly surprised for once.

They do, I didn't think I would be near as bad as I was.

No shit, once I got away from the city it wasn't too bad, but downtown was not fun. I will not be doing that a second time.

I feel your pain.
Got dilated this morning, fortunately it is overcast today and had sunglasses in the truck.
Oncoming headlights have a definite sparkle to them. Even brake lights and traffic signals.

My eye doc has some fancy machine that she can use. It's an extra $25, but no dilation. I haven't been dilated in years.

I never knew that was something they could do.

I had dark wrap sunglasses but it was still like I was looking through a prism.

back in ’07 I was riding back from Ballymoney to Dublin with the wife when we saw signage for Trim castle. Awesome, let’s stop. We were already soaked throughout, so what’s a little more rain? well... it depends on your scale.

see: The 11 Levels of Irish Rain · The Daily Edgewww.dailyedge.ie › irish-rain-scale-1275040-Jan2014

Most of the day was between 2-4, but, magically as we turned off the motorway on to the road to Trim it was ‘hooring down with rain’, level 8. This lasted about 10 minutes or so and then, as suddenly as it appeared, it was gone. Then it looked like picture #3, ‘wetting rain’, only there was no rain, only a few scant clouds and BRILLIANT beams of sunlight everywhere, refracted hundreds of times in the remaining rain drops on my face shield. I had to stop more than once for being almost blinded temporarily.

We made the castle in a few more minutes and weather was great the rest of the day.
