But there's someway they do it. I was on a ride to New Orleans and back and
a guy and his son were on a Gold Wing that was lit up like a ferris wheel! I
didn't get a chance to see if they were neon or what but he had lights
everywhere including his rims. I was impressed but later wondered if cages
may get distracted and run into him while staring!

Also have a friend who lights are hooked up to a light sensitive doo-hicky
on his handlebars. During the day they run on bright or flash bright to low
if he chooses.  At night they automatically turn off the flashing feature.

All this electric stuff is over my head but it can be impressive!
