Bah - I rode for years around Adelaide with no lights, and apart from copping a bit of abuse (but made sure I gave better than I got) and a minor altercation with a gate in a park had no issues. Too many people automatically leap to the moral and legal high-ground these days - fuch em! Rules are there only for those too stupid to have common sense.

But this reminds me of a story about Casterton that doesn't involve inbreeding, and that in itself warrants telling.

A bloke was at the pub waiting for his mate. Said mate was stuck at home dealing with wife/kids/domestic issues, but as he was itching to get down to the local, he was busy hammering the homies. Finally he managed to leave, and being half cut, decided to take the treadly. Meanwhile, his mate at the pub, who had managed to get himself pretty legless, decided that he had had enough and decided to head home, thankful that he had the foresight to ride his treadly.
Now being a small western Victorian town, once off the main drag there were no street lights, so the common modus operandi on a treadly was to follow the white centre line on the road...which in this case resulted in the two mates having a pretty nasty head on, with one of them being flown to Melbourne after copping a handlebar through the eye...

Hmm...maybe lights are a good idea after all...
