Those lights are a great idea. I was gonna go with one of these in an effort to make my PCX more visible - the cagers would see me coming from a mile away - but now I think I'll just add some more lights instead

You're right, it's not the first time. The last time that was said to me would have been on the playground in elementary (primary) school.
The kids probably would be able to spell better than me too.

And then riding it?
At least it's not a Harley

I just added some LEDs (thanks to Easyrider for the inspiration) - here's a video:
