    Wouldn't be illegal if they were a colour other than red.

    Most triumphant and sincere felicitations! My circumstances at that time of nocturnal discussion led to a somewhat diminished intellectual advant garde approach to my spelling. Thank you for your input into my abuse of the Queen's language and I shall refrain from correcting said post to enshrine your valiant and commendable approach as an independent life-long learner!

    You have given me great heart and fond cheer that the dialogus of the internet as a transmission agent is not a barrier to proper inducements of a learned and informative nature! Definitely not what KB is at times, though it has that colony charm and "kiwi" banter that passes for it's soiree into "witty" repartee.

    Here endeth my learning from such an esteemed member of the mafioso variety (to wit : who knew that the criminal word had such intellectual giants among them, I am humbled)

    Au contraire, the idea of RED LEDs whilst the perambulation of my two wheels of freedom is an illegal flouting of the law of the land! The purpose of my (in the vernacular of this sort of modification to one's mode of transportation) "blinging" it out was to have some inordinate amount of fun (at a small sacrifice of monetary units and unredeemed recreational time).

    It is meant only to be used while in a zero-sum game of static inviolability, i.e. parked up and being oohed-ahhed by yours truly (to wit : this author has still not grown out of being amused by flashing lights and shiny accroutrements)

    Nothing else remains, but while viewed from the front, the positioning of the lighting unit does not violate the standards set out - what is in no doubt is the choice of colour. Next time I will investigate the possibility of a multi-switch chamber that purports to hold several distinct hues of a chromatic variety, which shall render my arrangements legal, in this land (I however, am a firm adherent to my fondest colour RED!)

    Thank you for your concern over the possibilities of the travesty of having a forward moving red light causing consternation and diabolical mutterings from my fellow road users (to wit : they still have not the wit to ride two wheels of freedom). I shall endeavour to only use my personal homilies to my pride and joy (to wit : "the little ol'Hornet") as carefully and responsibly possible.

    If you do believe that, I do have a great bridge that spans the divide of the North and South hemispheres of our metropolis of Auckland.

    Thank you for your input and sincere kneading of my forelock

    Succinct and to the point my fellow Hornet enthusiast! It is my privilege and honour to be providing such sport for one of your ilk to digest, muse upon and ultimately discarded.

    As you well know, Hornet riders are the nicest people (as xerxesdaphat so eloquently stated), and forever putting in obsessive amounts of care and fondness for their stated weapon of speed. The inspiration that our "nest" is a continual buzz of mad ideas, crazy activities and above all, passionate championing of our cause brings a fond tear to my orbital socket (to wit : the left one, but the other one now since I have banged my big toe against a sharp outcrop concurrent in shape to the leg of the computer desk).

    Thank you for your compliments. I fear my head is now too big, has bounced several times in a haphazard manner off the floor and cannot now, fit through the doorway (to wit : a sharp penetrating object akin to a pin, will suffice to let down one's ego and remember that there are starving kinder in parts of deepest darkest Africa, that are wanting for sustenance that my purchases would have enabled them to have).

    Yours Truly (pardonnez moi, Trudi is your better half)

    Excellent posting of reference site known colloquially as "that interweb thingy", I have subsumed my reply into the amorphous mass that is referred to in that worthy stalwart of the crux of new planetoidal spacial movements in a rotational manner, dawnrazor.

    The delights and merits of the colour red I can wax lyrical and indepth for an exceedingly boring and trivial time, I will refrain from doing so here and instead point in the vague direction of how lovely certain colours can enhance the fairer of our sexes physical features (to wit : makeup). The application of LEDs is instead, our chromosomed challenged gender to make up for this imbalance of facial attention to detail.

    I am all in favour of this, makeup on my "little ol'Hornet" would expose myself to ridicule and the distressing knowledge it will ruin the mascara when it rains. A no-win situation except for the cosmetic industry, which will suddenly realise that another market has opened up where they can peddle their animal-friendly makeup with accordingly usurious charging.

    Mate you crack me up (God, I hope that phrase doesn't have any sexual reference over there, lol)

    Yes, I was thinking with all the de riguer modifications requiring extra electrical assets, that a secondary emergency power supply would not be amiss. I am currently investigating the possiblity of a magneto-tesla static induction baffle mounted microwave storage device (to wit : a made up whatchamacallit). I shall put that exact wording into my mobile battery operated telecommunication telephony device (to wit : mobile). May I please request your operating communication details so I can contact you when said occasion arises in deplorable circumstances. All details kept quite confidential until I am in need of liquidity (to wit : coin) and will then sell it to the effervescent tele-marketing companies based in certain states of India (to wit : contact justsomeguy for further embellishments on this excitingly lucrative offer).

    Thank you for your most insightful precognitive view into a possible future outcome for my "little ol'Hornet" and me.

    Your future contact in regards to a set of jumper leads

    Well done on the process tho'
    Do you realise how many holes there could be if people would just take the time to take the dirt out of them?

    Dear denizen of the other affairs of the heart,

    Yes, it is at this time I find myself inwardly reflecting about the year to come...in those hallowed halls of (mis)learning. The subjugation and propaganda espousal of societal norms and expectations upon our kinder (as in kindergarten) is a rort to ensure that daycare is provided for harassed parents.

    It is good that I am a sado-masochist with delusions of grandeur and unfeasibly unrealistic expectations of my charges. I believe they will become a connected life long independent learner with connections as a utopian global netizen. The dubious and unrequited yearnings to breach the vast stillness that counts as grey matter between the ears is a clarion call to my underwhelmed motivation. Truth beknown, I do have a certain grudging affection to those meat sacks quivering on seats in my alloted learning space.

    I can see the vast potential...which they will never achieve
    I can visualise the majestic service to humanity...when they are reclusing in jail
    I can tantilising imagine the joy they will bring to society...when they play off a cliff
    In all, the referendum I bring to my woe-begotten choice of profession fair fills me with an uplifting need to go and bang my cranium allotment against a suitably and indomitable immovable object.

    Or I go ride a bike, enough said!

    Thank you mistress of the heart, it always heartens my spirit to have it lifted when reminded of my duties I have signed on for as a government employee reimbursed by my fellow citizen's taxes.

    Your recidivist at heart, gerrymandering at broken windmills

    i had it done on my old ZXR, then kept the lights and bought some more to go on the R6. They get a lot of attention, only ever got good comments when i was in town or at parties, was cool seeing the side of the road light up when i cornered, or to see them laying down a blue wash when you lifted the front wheel

    where opinion holds more weight than fact.

    It's better to not pass and know that you could have than to pass and find out that you can't. Wait for the straight.

    Dear Alphabet-numeric kinder,

    Yes, I find the illuminating trance effect quite relaxing - less still if I happen to make my front wheel lose continual traction with the ground! It is good to hear of others that have dallied with adding cosmetic but asthetically pleasing equipment to their choice of transport. My hat sir, is off to you! I am now in the progress of sourcing Panzerfaust/Nerbelwerfer additions to my ride in order to give other challenged road users a bit of the "learn" as the parlance goes.

    For the times when a Stebel does not quite cut the mustard, for those netizens desirious of further enlightenment of my use of German terminology, please direct your occular retention to these two pertinent sites :
