This guy worries me
 
On the way to work this morning I could barely see a two wheel vehicle of some sort when I was coming to a stop at a really busy intersection. It was still dark out and this vehicle seemed to not have any lights on it.:scratch:

It was in the right lane, I was in the left and he was a few cars ahead of me.

I assumed it was a scooter with a busted tail light.

When we start moving, I see that it's a cruiser. The guy was wearing a black helmet and black jacket and his tail light was so faint I could only see it when I was right behind him and again, it was still dark out.

He clearly has no turn signals, no biggie. But then when he went to take a right hand turn, he stuck out his RIGHT hand. :wtf:

I was displeased with this fellow and his non-tail light and poor signaling skills. :lol:

That's all.

He'll end up a hood ornament at some point.

I hate poor signalling skills and crappy lights on cars and motorcycles alike.

My father installed some awesome LED lights on his cruiser...work like a charm.

No doubt removed his reflectors as well.............Cuz a 2-inch reflector really detracts from the appearance of your bike.

Maybe that was part of it too. He seriously just looked like a dark spot in the road. :no:

And he probably soon will just be a dark spot on the road.

BTW, was he wearing an Ed Hardy bandana?

Yup, i've seen those guys... hardtail chopper with ape hangers and a long stretch, tennis-ball-sized tail light mounted about 6" from the ground on one side of the bike, headlight, and nothing else. Looks nice and clean at the bike show, but on the streets at night... fuck that.

Oh, wait- they've got loud pipes, and loud pipes save lives, so they've got nothing to worry about!
