Ross that was a note from a friend of mine.a friend of a friend. but alarming just the same. But the modulator is a good idea. Anything that increases visibility. I have looked into them too. The down side of the modulator is it ticks people off and you get road rage. You can put a bypass switch on the handlebars that stops the modulation at stop lights. I have heard the new cycle training is to move your body from left to right, near moving traffic that increased you space of visibility. I swing wide in intersection too when appropriate.

I've been thinking about installion a head light modulator. It makes the headlight "modulate on/off". I have seen these on other bikes and they do attract attention and you can see them for quite a distance. Ross -----Original Message----- From: Pastor Ron Sent: Jul 20, 2012 7:26 AM To: nighthawk_lovers@googlegroups.com Subject: [Nighthawk Lovers] Yellow safety I wanted to share this story with you, after our discussion on the color yellow. I had asked about his yellow ST1300 Hi Ron, I do not know the exact color yellow as I bought the bike already painted yellow. My friend bought a 2006 Yamaha R1 Anniversary Edition. That metallic yellow is absolutly beautiful. I do have one regret... I was riding 150' behind my friend (Ducati Monster 620 Dark) doing 40 - 45 mph when an opposing driver made a U turn in front of us. I was immediately full on the brakes. My friend hit the U turner and died 2 weeks later. The drivers statement, "I saw the yellow bike." My ST1100 has no markings except a Chiquita sticker and a Safety Third sticker. A typical conversation.... "What is it?" 1993 Honda ST1100 "It really looks good. I didn't think it was that old." Fresh paint "Why the Chiquita sticker?" I'm an old fart. I got one foot in the grave and the other on a banana peel. "Safety Third? What's that about?" Well... A Safety First person would not get on one of these things. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Nighthawk Motorcycle Lovers!" group.
