I concur, and after viewing his new ride, I think he also knows people.

I think highlighting an object in yellow mood lighting right before you run into it does add some artistic value, Chris.

I agree the yellow tones will definitely soften the oncoming atrocities to a mellow soothing impact once found only on a otters tummy.

Congrats on the new car Greg. May it provide you with years of reliable service.

Just like every front load washer I have owned. In fact, I've had nothing but for the past 20 years and never a drip from any of them.

On a serious note it appears that area is quite scenic.
I'll add it to the list. We have yet to explore that area. I'm looking forward to it.

I don't really ride at night so the reach doesn't help me. But being seen, that's a big deal. And yes, I'm a big fan of the amber. It really gets one's attention out on the road. I have amber lens covers, but the stock reflectors paired with LED bulbs isn't effective.

Got to watch my ex put in new hardwood floors. Any seal will eventually leak

I've debated installing modern lights in the bikes, but it ruins the look
