No idea what kind, but it sounds interesting. I've been thinking about putting something like that on my bike. Mabye something a bit simpler though.

If anyone is interested they should look into cold cathod tubes. People use them to light up the inside of computers because they are very efficient and don't put out any heat. I'm pretty sure some run on 12V too.

Well I saw the 89 yesterday. When I showed up it was sitting the dryway spewing gas everywhere. The guy said he'd been riding it for the last couple weeks. He tried to start it before I got there (yes I know I should have remembered to have him leave it cold).

I noticed that the connection between ...

Well I can afford both, but my question really is what is the better deal. I don't mind doing some work myself, thus the question really is will the 89 most likely require more then $1000 worth of work.

What is "high miles" for an EX500? Everytime I mention that i'm looking at getting a ninja to ...

Actualy his ex girl friend wrecked it. He said she was making a steep downhill turn. I guess I could see how that could happen if you were to lowside on a steep hill the bike wouldnt' be horizontal laying on the ground, and you could possibly catch the tires again and flip over to the downhill side ...
