Thanks MsIncredible!

I have one question as it's my first time on an Usa forum...here in italy very often write "lamps" at the end of a message as a salut (it's a reference to the flesh of high Beans we usually do whem we meet other bikers...)...do you have it as well?   [roll] [roll] [roll] [roll] [roll]


Lamps!  :) :) :)

[thumbsup] or [moto] maybe?

Do you have a link to where you made the magazine cover?

Also, there's something stuck in both your exhaust pipes. You should take it out before it damages your bike.  ;)

No unfortunately we don't, but that seems like a cool tradition! 8)

In the US we usually wave (hold out our left hand) when we see other bikers, instead of flashing high beams.

Stopintime,

your cover is really cool.

I wonder why you haven't replaced yet your blinkers with Aftermarket ones...  ;)

What do you think about white wheels? We both have black ones, don't we?

Yes, my wheels are black. In the beginning I thought about white, but for me white wheels are too "pretty".
Besides, they are an absolute pain to keep clean.....

"Everyone" buy aftermarket blinkers. I like to be different, so I keep the stockers ;D Although I have bought clear lenses.
To be honest I think the stock blinkers look fine. Not beautiful, but fine.

BTW, about lamps:

Here in Norway we greet other riders with a small wave.
When we warn for hazards, such as [leo] speed controls, we use high beams AND a downward pushing hand motion.

For us the downward pushing hand motion means slow down, so that's similar.

But for [leo] alerts we typically tap the top of our helmets with our hands.

I ment "Lamps"  written at the end of a post....like this  below ( sounds American but I see not to  have found any traces in foreign forums..)

Yeah, stock blinkers are not so bad and you even got the clear glasses....the only problem is that if you buy the rear short-tail they appear to be too bulky.

(I had many problems with aftermarket directions lights anyway as vibrations snapped the wires many times..)



Lamps!!!!
