@arrdem @nyanotech More seriously, I have seen people with laser setups that shine a big glowing (at night) line one meter outboard of the bike, like a mobile lane marker.
@smellsofbikes @arrdem i used to have a rear light that did that; never actually used it though
@nyanotech @arrdem I've a friend who has one of those rear radar setups, and that is a question we ask: what do you do with the info?
@smellsofbikes @arrdem iunno, i'm perhaps nicer than i should be and inch over a bit so the car can pass more easily
i guess there's the new varia dashcam, i could see that being useful i guess
