I'm addicted to ebay

[Skeets]

I always just browse ebay buying stupid stuff I don't need for example: tasers, makeup for the gf, new batteries for my phones, motorcycle turn signals, headphones etc. So I came across these: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=370153100559&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT and I bought them. I got them today and they're pretty cool. They do exactly what they say! I can't wait to put them on and ride around tonight with my brother. They're so absolutely illegal and stupid it makes me grin. For $3.60 shipped I thought why not??

[Porkchop]

Why would they be illegal?  Is because they are blue?

Yeah, MD law says no blue lights of any sort! Porkchop you live in MD??!?!??!!!??!

[bassmechanicsz]

The blue lights are illegal in most states.  I have had blue fog lights and blue blinkers on my cars and every time i put the bulbs in i get pulled over instantly and get a $44 ticket.  The reasoning that blue is illegal is because it is reserved for emergency vehicle use only.

How about red?  I was thinking of putting lights on my bike.

Red is only allowed on the rear of a vehicle... and its also reserved for emergency vehicles. Most places, amber is OK... Most states blinking lights are also out.

Oh come on, I worked hard trying to find a picture that was unambiguous. What does it look like?

It looks like something I ate when I was in Korea.

It looks like something I ate when I was in Korea.

It looks pretty similar to a lot of stuff I had in Thailand. I preferred the chicken and pork to the squid though. The crunchy tentacles freaked me out.

I also love browsing ebay when I don't actually need anything. I still usually stick to a few narrow interests and don't branch out too much. Gotta be careful with the makeup though, I feel some of those things (makeup, perfume, shampoos, etc) risk a response of "what, are you saying I'm ugly/smell bad/dirty/etc?!?!" if they're not presented just right, haha. I tend to avoid them as gifts.

in britain you can buy those in the shops and they arent illegal at all, i used to have them on my mountain bike, but i decided never to put them on my motorbike when i saw the outcome of someone with them on, basically because they make the valve heavier, if u push the bike at all the g force starts to bend the valve out the way and it can in best case let a little air out of ur tyres but in worst case it can rip the valve out of the tyre and at speed that is gonna hurt.

The last time I looked, they're illegal in ALL 50 states.  You got the reasoning right though.

Red can only be facing the rear.

Your right.  I did some reseach and found they banned them last year in MD (prior to the ban, there was a loop hole for motorcycles).  Sorry, I missed the memo.

It wasn't fried. The tentacles were naturally crunchy. I did not appreciate that.
