been helping m'boy fit an effing green neon tube under the rear mudguard of the TS50 [1], [2] and [3] [1] Yeah, I know, how naff is that. [2] I had to help, as he had all my tools strewn across the garage and was fitting the thing with bloody woodscrews, and intended just wiring it straight into the battery terminals. [3] YES I KNOW IT'S NAFF - I have advised him that his gay index has increased substantially. -- Dan L (Oldbloke) My Bike 2000 Honda CB500 M'boy's Bike 1990 Suzuki TS50X BOTAFOT #140, DIAABTCOD #26

<snip> Heh.. He'll be getting a stick on filler cap, and some of those little blue or white leds at the font too then?
Oldbloke let forth with a mighty belch and uttered : Naffer than a naff thing Stop hiding the self tappers then As well as his gay index reaching 'first time cottager' did you also tell him that he is liable to get nicked for displaying a green light on the rear of the vehicle?. Still, could be useful if he ever ditches it into a canal and he has mounted it to the right of centre.
I gather the plan goes something like that. He was browsing the RS Components website last night for LED's, having discovered that commercially available sets are a bit dear. If he posts on here asking for details of how to wire them up, PLEASE tell him to piss off. -- Dan L (Oldbloke) My Bike 2000 Honda CB500 M'boy's Bike 1990 Suzuki TS50X BOTAFOT #140, DIAABTCOD #26
Isn't it just. His dodgy mate came round yesterday on his TS and is now intent on doing the same thing. Pair of wankers they are. You should have seen the abortion he had cobbled together, bloody 2 inch wood screws sticking out of the mudguard FFS, with a bloody industrial sized toggle switch gaffer taped to the instrument binnacle.. I am now waiting for the inevitable nicking, and if the little sod says "but me dad fitted it" I'll bloody kill him. -- Dan L (Oldbloke) My Bike 2000 Honda CB500 M'boy's Bike 1990 Suzuki TS50X BOTAFOT #140, DIAABTCOD #26
You made that up, didn't you? AFAIK, the only regs about lights you *can't* display are: - no red lights to the front - no flashing blue lights at all
Probably. Change nicked to getting pulled over and being asked WTF you have a green neon on a 'ped in the first place. I thought there were more restrictions than that with regard to colour and positioning of lights, but I suspect most coppers would take the view of whether or not it is legal, it is still a bit, well, dumb.
Thought as much Dumb yes. Illegal - I don't *think* so. All the Max Power boys put all sorts of glowing lights under their cars, so it's hardly unheard of.
