What did you do on or to your other bike part 2

Also, what you're looking at are layers of decals... each one is a base of neon yellow with one or more reflective decals on top of the base ones, each carefully taped in place. 
Amazes me that they go to the time and effort to make the kits that way. Must take quite a long time.

So far, I've seen our other Blood Riders on the opposite side of the freeways. Makes sense, as we're all going to the same end point right now, a research clinic in "The Valley". But yesterday I had the very unique experience of having one of our other riders come up behind me in very tight, almost gridlocked traffic on the 101 (What we call the Hollywood Freeway). I've been modifying the bikes with LED headlight bulbs and yellow LED auxiliary lights, along with the yellow decal kits. 

What initially caught my eye in the mirror were the bright headlights and yellow LEDs. And they were on full solid, whereas I would have them in flasher mode in traffic. Saw him at almost a 1/4 mile behind me as we were both threading our way slowly between the near-stopped cars. It was a great sort of "proof of concept" that even being semi-cheap LEDs from Amazon are still extremely eye-catching. I love the kit, bascally two lights, a controller, a switch, and they all plug together with only power and ground needed. And the headlight bulbs, also cheap, thankfully don't trip up the BMW's very German CAN-Bus "don't you dare make any modifications" electronics.

I've been on #5, still in black/white "ex cop" mode and haven't had much time to do more than mechanical work, chasing some cold-start and idle gremlins. But, seeing the other bike in the mirror made me stay up late last night to get the new lights on her, and to give her a "bloody nose" with the yellow windshield decals to catch some eyeballs. The rest of the decal kit will have to wait for more idle time.

You know what? I actually would like a pickle.
