teeny tiny little tail lights
Was behind a bike in the Ram saturday (bobber of some sort) and he had this half dollar size tail light on the thing. You couldn't see it normally, and hitting the brakes didn't make it much brighter.....actually looked as bright as it should have been in the first place with the brakes on.
I'm not knocking what someone else wants to do to their bike.
My question is............
do these guys get pissed when they almost get ran over every time they ride?

Schu, you Victory Weenie. Quitcherbitchin. Not everybody can afford to have a Jedi light saber as their stop light. Heck, with all the chrome and shineestuff on the back of yer bike, I'd wouldn't be surprised to see you at a stop light with a half dozen accolytes on their knees, worshiping yer back bumper! (Nice ride, by the way...got my monk robes ready if you come thru town).
Roo!
Roo!

this has nothing to do with my bike.
The car in front of me (directly behind him) almost ran over him when he went to turn left in front of us. The guy yelled at the car, flipped them off. Got me to thinking about what I posted above. They gotta see it coming

Half of all car drivers is stupid. Half of them is behind you, and the other half is in front of you. Of that second half, half of them is eating a Sloppy Joe, texting their oncologist, folding a map, or copping a feel. They don't see your headlights unless you got a three-light rig with modulated beams and even then it helps to have blue strobes. The first half...the ones behind you...have just spilled coffee, dropped their cellphone, got felt up, or are basking in the afterglow of a satisfying flatulation. They have forgotten whether their right foot is on the brake or the accelerator, and an empirical test is much more reliable than actually looking.
The point is this. Life is dangerous. Motorcycles make it more dangerous. Smart bikers weave a little when approaching a stop sign, 'cause it makes 'em look bigger. Dumb bikers pick fights with finger gestures, 'cause they think they ARE bigger than the truck they just communicated with.
Oh, yeah. Half of the rest of the cars have loaded guns under their seats. Be polite, not "cool". Ride to live. Live to grow old.

That's one thing that has me questioning what to do myself. My bike will be my dailey driver and want to install the LED strip under the rear fender, but then I question is it going to be visable enough to see durring the day.
