> I think that is a good idea too............and I just looked, and only have a
few photos of my bike actually packed. (I am a bit photo shy, and do not take
too many photos). I get bored in the winter, and will take photos of my bike,
packed in the garage, one day soon.

As for another winter project-
I reflectorized my helmets using 3M 690 series reflective sheeting, and
posted the results in the photos section of the web page (Called "Winter
helmet project" They really, really, shine at night. The sheeting can
be applied and removed, until you apply pressure to it. I have it on
three different brand helmets, with no adverse reactions. (Shoei, HJC, AGV)

BTW
The helmets are mostly decorated in Thai words. Just by coincidence, PC
(PEE SEE) in Thai has a meaning. PEE can mean two things- either
"Ghost", or "Elder" (Elder friend, brother, sister, co-worker, etc.) SEE
means two things also, "four" (4), or, "the color of"
SEE DANG means "the color of" red (dang) DUM is black, KAO is
white.........(for Candy Apple Red, you will have to consult an actual
Thai person).
So, depending on the tone mark, the PEE SEE DANG can mean red ghost or
red older friend.
If anyone is interested, (some members of the CB250 group were
interested in the designs) I posted some of the more common colors here,
http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/CB250_Nighthawk/files/Winter%20helmet%20proj\
ect/

to download and cut out. But, the idea is to make your own design, maybe
that favorite tattoo design you always wanted to get, but did not want
to put on your skin, and make your own unique helmet.

I will try to post the packed bike photos soon.

Mike
