Back in the early eighties my riding image on my Eldo was pretty scooter trash - bandana for a helmet, ratty old horsehide coat stitched up with leather lace, bearded and braided pony tail. My riding buddy was on a new Honda 750 four, Vetter fairing, new leathers, helmeted, clean shaven engineer image.
He'd added blue lenses to his turn signals and had them wired up as running lights. We were on the 5 North at night and passed a CHP sitting by the roadside. He jumped to and lit us up.
While one officer read my buddy the riot act and made him remove the bulbs on the spot, the other officer and I had "old home week" - he'd been a Guzzi motor officer for the CHP for ten years. Used to change his own clutch, loved the bike.
I like running lights that get attention but some of them have a higher price than others.
