Many year ago, I used to dirt bike using BiOptics. As you will surmise, dirt biking is a lot of near vision seeing, and practice on short cicuits. So, in many ways, I did not rely on the power of the BiOptic for distance. Occassionally, though, I'd head out into the farmland and travel many miles, using the BiOptic for distance spotting. For a while, I snowmoniled, but never used a BiOptic 'cauise snowmobiling is just too rough for a BiOptic to be of much use. Mind you, when snowmobiling I usually did nt go faster than 80 kph.
