Inconspicuous rider

On the way home tonight, I was behind this guy on, I think, a dirt bike who was nearly invisible. So, I took some video of him. Coincidentally, I was listening to the Long Way Down soundtrack and I don't know how to turn off the audio on my camera so, there is some nicely timed music in the background.



I have never seen video of myself on the bike at night but folks have told me I am very reflecty and clearly seen. I've got an extra brake light, light colored reflective clothing, white helmet, and lots of reflective stickers on my helmet, saddle bags, and the bike. Some day I'll have hubby film me so I can see myself.

Handguards

Hubby added the National Cycle hand guards to my bike. I really like the look of them and so far they work ok. I think we still need to tweak them a bit although I'm not sure how we can. Here are some pics of them.






There is a gap on the right one because of the brake fluid box. I can't move it any closer to close that gap. You can sort of see the difference when you compare how close the inside edge is to the grip. They look awesome I think. They are also easy to install. Well, they did need some modification. Hubby had to cut the ends to make them shorter. I don't think we took any before pics. These were supposed to be the model for the 250 Rebel but when I got the package it said it was for a different bike. It was the right number so there wasn't an error on the part of the ebay seller. It seems to be marked wrong in the National Cycle catalog or something. At any rate, I figured we'd have to modify them somehow. So, it wasn't a big deal really.
