Thank you for that. The coffee I just snorted in this diner really cleared my sinuses.

As someone on this forum once said, "If you're counting on the reflectors to save your ***, you're already dead". May sound harsh but there's truth in it.

Honestly that would work.. and I'll probably still use one.. but why be rushed when Wed its supposed to be in 60s and I have the 30 minutes to do it.. then go ride. I already hooked into the batteries on both so I pretty much have to route and stick

ps.. Ed Gein? Really... That guy was insane to the 100th power

Wait, I thought removing that tag on mattresses was a Federal offense? I don't want to spend time in a Federal pen!
All kidding aside, I suppose it is personal preference. Some people figure the small risk involved by not having the reflectors is outweighed by a nicer, cleaner look. YMMV.
