Smashingchuck---Congratulations on building a motorcycle!!! Thats a big accomplishment for someone 25 (or any age). I have owned a number of hotrods over the years, a few of which were roadsters like Don is building. My previous hotrod before my current roadster pickup was a 27 roadster. My signal light flasher burned out, so I drove the car for 2 weeks using hand signals. Ten times in two weeks I slowed down and stuck my arm straight out, to indicate that I was about to turn left into my driveway. Five of those times, people behind me pulled out and passed me from behind just as I was about to turn left.---Signal lights may not be a fashion statement, but people just don't see an arm signal, or don't know what the heck it means!!!!
