Anything that will make me more visible is staying on my ride! So tell me how ugly they are. Jrsess

A lot of people think they have to extend their expertise on my toys.Usually get a kick out of it,once in a while will say come up with the green and you can change anything you want.I always respect another persons ride.

I`ve never changed anything on any of my bikes because someone else didn`t like it. And I neverwill! And I`ve seen what Ithought were some ugly bikes that others were ridingtoo. Always kept my mouth shut then as well. Make it likeYOU want it and be happy.

Reflectors? My bike has reflectors? [:@] Like the ones on my banana bike back in the mid 60's? [:'(] I didn't notice.

Come to think about it I believe mycar has reflectors too. Some things never change.

Reflectors on a Harley ..... who wudda thunk?


I'll take any help I can get to make me stand out at night. I'm adding 3 refletors to my lid too. They say

"If I'm in an accidentdon't remove my helmet, call 911" one for each side and the back.

I removed the stickers from my bike a few days after buying it.As far as commenting on others' bikes, I tend to focus on the positive things they've done.
