Hmm, maybe an on/off switch for neon lights and only use it on highways late at night. Assuming you are being good and driving legally and are not worried about getting pulled over. :) That way it really won't be posing if only the few drunk or blind drivers see you.  :dunno:

Of course I don't think this is a huge difference, just discussing it.

I <3 my Antec windowed case.  Although it is a tad large and the sound activated cold cathode light I put in it lasted about 10 minutes when I realized a super bright light blinking at every little sound coming from my PC was a bad idea.

Build a man a fire and he is warm for a day, set a man on fire and he is warm for the rest of his life!

:lol:  Yeah, I found that the blinking light annoyed me, too, so I just set it to be on. I didn't mind the blue glow as long as it didn't blink. I miss Frankenstein.  :(

I figured I'd chime in with my latest struggles on this topic. I tucked my license plate up  under the rear fender with a light on it. I've swapped the rear shock from a Katana and a fenderectomy, which helped give it a great line of sight. So I figured it was OK. I got hassled like CRAZY by local cops. Surprisingly, the cop that gave me the hardest time was a motorcycle cop! One guy even told me that he had no idea I even had a plate on there with a passanger on board. So I moved it back near the original location. Tucked it under the tail light, but angled the bottom towards the front of the bike slightly. With an LED in front of it, there is no way you could not see it. Of course, yesterday the SAME motorcycle cop decided to pull me over again and bust my balls. He said he needed to see it flat facing rearward. Nit-picky is not even the word for it.

I second the comments on not wanting to do anything to give the bacon a reason to pull me over. Unfortunately, there are a lot of riders out there who are doing something just outside the legal limits (no motorcycle license, non-DOT helmets, no inspection / registration, pipes that piss off the entire neighborhood, etc.). In my experience, cops love to find an excuse to pull bikers over just so they can make sure everything else is on the up n' up.

As for blue lights, I've been pulled over before for having HID-style blue fog lights. If a cop has an itchy trigger finger and wants to pull you over, he will find a reason. The more that you can do to increase your odds of getting a warning instead of a ticket, the better off you'll be.

Holy back from the dead threads batman :cheers:

I give em something to screw with me about just so they'll overlook the smaller shaZam! that could really add up. They can hassle you all they want and if they really start nitpicking shaZam! can get expensive a potential operating a vehicle in a manner not safe and reasonable pull over became a fix it ticket for my plate the cop go tso pissed about it being stuffed up under my undertail and no light that he did'nt hassle me for hanging off the bike which is the reason he turned around to begin with.
Why didn't you just go the whole way and buy me a f@#king Kawasaki you bastards.

I thought this looked familiar. I still think it was a bunch of nonsence. (joke)
