what does this >>>>

mean? and what's the big deal about taking the reflectors off?

 

[MC MUSTANG]

Typically, new members usually get razed about leaving stickers and reflectors on thier scoots - many of us remove them as one of the first few no-cost mods.

This can mean a couple of things:
1. Someone knows this could go on and on or down hill, so they are standing back and watching the show.
2. Bump, bringing a topic to the top for others to see.
3. Here we go again - wheels on the busa go round and round... etc.

Hope that helps,
MCM

This question needs to be asked

! Has anyone really seen reflectors on a bike at night while it's moving on a street

? Other than when parking my car and my lights hit the bike while parked, I can honestly say: "I've NEVER seen reflectors, reflect anything on a bike at night when driving my car" ! And since I look  

for bikes, I know NO ONE else evers see's them !

 

[300Busa]

They really only work if you are parking your bike on the side of the street at night.

They make me go faster. Since mine are from Chernobyl and
hold super nuclear power.
