There is a point when you have to much chrome. I couldn't tell if this bike coming Torwards me was flashing his light or it was the suns reflection. Just tone it down a bit guys!

Yeah? Well, I almost hit a street bob the other night that was all murdered out. Maybe people with blacked out bikes should wear reflective vests 24/7...

Reminds me of a guy I ran into at a Shelby convention in SoCal. He'd polished the aluminum body of his Cobra with aircraft polish. After driving into the sunlight one day and not being able to see because of the glare off of the hood, he added a black stripe. He kept making the stripe wider. I wonder if the car is all black now....

Did he not have lights or reflectors on his bike? I like chrome sometimes and black others.

I'm not trying to be a hater.

I'm just saying not everything should be chrome to where it becomes a problem for others.
