I know I've been obsessing over one for ages and lo' and behold, she got me a 50 minute lance armstrong style full body massage at a spa and a light & motion arc HID head lamp for our 3rd anniversary. First she gets me that tube amp for my birthday now this; I'm stoked!
It throws the beam farther than my 26 watt l&m dual but has slightly narrower coverage and that cool white attention catching glare. Hehe.
Best of all, it comes with their new 06' multicharger that charges lithium ion and nimh batteries and the mounts and battery connections are 100% backwards compatible with the halogen set up that I have.

Sounds like you're in trouble unless you spent some serious cash on her too. It looks like she really cares about you.
I had a big investment in Nite Rider gear, then they switched the battery/cable connectors and I had trouble ordering parts. I've got a drawer full of junk now.
I've had the L&M HID for a few seasons now and I'm not sure what it looks like at a four way stop in the dark, but I think from the drivers view I must appear to be a motorcycle. I never got paid the same attention with the NR lights.

You had better have got her something pretty good, like a new vacuum cleaner or a chainsaw.

Full body massage? I guess your buns healed nicely then. You know if she really loved you, she would get you a cup and a different type of tube amplifier.

Wanna swap?
I like that tube amp. I like tubes. I have VTL 450's driving a pair of Maggie 3.6's.

What exploits? I look but I don't touch.
You free sometime this week, I wanna take some beam pics of your performance bike setup.

I think that'd be Slvoid's present to himself.
