Re: EV sales down

I've driven - briefly a Leaf, but did a couple of days with an Ampera. Ok only mway, but it was comfy and smooth, and I'd happily have one (presumably representative of other hybrids) - but not at those prices. Plus cost of charging point at home.

Why would you have it on the rear window and not on the boot?

Unless the bike is already in mid-air, it shouldn't be too much of a problem ;)

I wonder about the effect on the window glass from a few high-low speed cycles?

Re: What headlight bulbs?

Never changed a bulb before, but how hard can it be? Seems like there's ample room in the engine bay behind the headlights, and shouldn't be that hard to do!
