It's been an absolute pleasure watching all this come together. Can't wait for the video of how it sounds as well.

Congrats mate, you've done a bloody good job.

im going out shopping today for some turn signals.

this is the original idea i had for the brake light:
eBay - New & used electronics, cars, apparel, collectibles, sporting goods & more at low prices

im also thinking about the signals.

think is should run the tag underneath the seat, or cut into the seat and have the light inlayed?

Way nicer than a J-Lo ***.

Also good to see that your high class (Shakespeare?) book has been upgraded from duties of holding down the Cosmo magazine to holding up the bike.

Feel free to comment!

Lemme restart my computer and update, photobucket is acting weird.
