Default Can you have to many decorative lights on your ride?

On my way to work this morning I passed a guy on an Ultra that was completely covered in those decorative colored lights all over his bike. It looked professionally done, but there were lights on his forks, fairing, engine area, saddlebags, tour pack and any nook and cranny you could get lights into. Maybe it wasn't the amount of lights that made it look bad, but the colors he chose. Or should I say colors, plural. He had yellow, red, blue and what I think was either pink or a lite purple. It look awful. Well, at least to me it did. I tried to get a pic, but it came out very blurry.

So what do you think? Is there such a think as to many lights on your ride? Would you put multi colors on your bike?

I have Blue as the main colour and Red as the fill in secondary colour and it is attention to detail that make it very cool and classy not just put on like a set of flood light's like i have seen on some bikes ...... it sounds as if this guy was riding a colour chart

For me 1 is too many.
Once that is violated, more is better.

lol @ pimp mobiles

One good thing to point out about the extra lights would be nights. I'm not one of those guys but I can understand for some that safety factor and then you got the pimps...laffs

Headlight/Signal lights/Tail lights.....that should be the extent of the lighting on a motorcycle. All the sex lights make em look like friggen Gold Wings!
