Talking Motorcycles with Clearwater Lights/Glenn Stasky/Al Ludington

Talking Motorcycles with Barry Boone

We asked Glenn Stasky to join us on this show in an effort to learn more about aftermarket lighting for our motorcycles. The number one quote from automobile drivers after contact with a motorcycle is "I didn't see him". We discuss the benefits of truly standing out in traffic. Any number of hazards exist on the sides of the road and in the road to motorcyclist. Animals and people can walk right out in front of us at night as well as potholes in the road and a full range of items on the road that have fallen from trucks. Seeing these things early give us precious time to think and react. Great lighting can give us that time. Glenn brings much technical information from a riders perspective that we believe is invaluable. Our goal was to avoid turning this into an infomercial and to make this show an educational tool for all of us who value excellent roadcraft. For BMW riders, we discussed how the Clearwater Lights systems interface simply and easily with CANbus. Al Ludington, of V8R Performance in Daytona Beach, joined us to discuss the degree of difficulty in installing aftermarket lighting. In additiona to selling and installing Clearwater Lights, his shop converts Mazda Maita's from their standard 4 cylinder engines to V6 and V8 power. As it happened on the day we did this show, Al parted company with AMA Pro Racing rather unexpectedly. We discussed the temporary break in his career in professional motorcycle racing and what the future may hold for him. Talking Motorcycles is powered by Crosley Brands!
