I have that on the back of the Amigo, then I painted over it with gloss. It works great. I also have it on the swing arm of my motorcycle; in fact the whole motorcycle (and helmet) has colored reflective tape on it. Yellow tape on yellow bike; can't see during the day, but it lights up at night.


Well, first, you have excellent taste in bikes and colors!
I love the Magna, awesome bike!
I have the street sign material all over my helmet as well.
Other than the black stuff on the swing arm, I have red
stop sign material on the side of the light bar.
For night riding, I've gone more of the illumination method,
rather than reflective method.
Here's a shot of mine, after I recently installed some lower
driving lights:

Everyone tells me that I look like a freight train coming down the road. LOL

I also have LED's that I run at night and I have the
rear signals setup as driving lights.

And here's what she looks like during the day:

I've not seen them that small; I've got one that runs on AAA but came to realize I prefer the slightly larger AA's due to longer life. I ride until dark in the mountain park, then come home. I use rechargeables, and I get tired of popping the cases open. Mostly, I'm sure, due to the discharge cycle than the power drain of the LED's.


Here's a pic of the ones I was talking about:

I think I got them at Home Depot or Lowes for about $4/each.
They have a belt clip on the back side and I just keep
them clipped on to the side of my seat bag. At night,
I just turn them on. I've had these on for a little over 2 years and they are still going strong. I had my previous set for about 3 1/2 years before they died. It's cheaper
to buy new ones than it is to replace the battery.

There are a lot of preparations and precautions people could take, but generally don't. And then they sue their car companies when they stop in the middle of the road, get behind heir vehicle, see an approaching vehicle and don't step out of the way.


Yep. Me, I choose to be prepared as much as possible.
I realize we can't prepare for everything in every situation,
but there's a lot of normal day to day things
that we can be prepared for and not become a victim of our
own lack of attention and/or preparation...unfortunately, a large number
of people are more concerned about what happened on American
Idol last night vs. things they should be concerned about.
