Christmas blinking lights for safety reasons

I'm not sure if you mean actual Christmas lights, or just some serious auxiliary lighting. But either way, my feeling on over doing it with lighting, or sound in the form of extra loud exhausts, may have unintended consequences. Target fixation is not only a problem for bikers. If you attract too much of a focus from typical automobile drivers, you might get fixated upon...and the results of that are never good. Probably not a scientific base for my theory, but I'd avoid riding around like a Christmas tree on two wheels.
