Neons on bikes..
What do you guys think ??? Its mainly for night use so people can actually see me alot better. Im not too much into the whole gay shit neon lights but, Ive had alot of friends say I should and they are strctly "jdm" car wise lol. But im unsure if I would get dogged alot over it. Im doing it mainly for my own safety though. Thoughts ?

But seriously; they are gonna get you seen, but probably not how you wanna be seen. You'll get laughed at by most: including me I'm sure. Put the money into a reflective vest or jacket instead.

Re: Neons on bikes..
beauty is in the eye of the beholder... i think its tacky, lots of guys think it looks cool... so if you will get laughed at depends on who is doing the looking, some will like it, some will not... in the end its up to you... if i were to do any it would be just like at the bottom fairing or something simple like that to give some under body light

Re: Neons on bikes..
I personally want to get them to help be seen as well. A little on the bottom of my side fairings and maybe one under the tail near my license plate.
I dont consider them tacky. Its not like your going down the street as a neon bulb or something, your just putting a few on the bike. I wouldnt be able to figure out whats funny about someone having neons on their bike, especially when the number one cause of bike wrecks is a car that has failed to see them.
Dont do something to satisfy other people, do it for you man. In the end your still a biker just like every other guy that rides a bike, you just have more confidence in being seen at night

They have some pretty nice halogen lights on the market you can get that will make sure you're seen and if that doesn't work you can always install an aftermarket horn that is way more affective than the standard clown squeking his nose horn. Don't waste your money on neons, invest it in mods, maybe upgrade to a liter bike.
