Motorcycle Safety Feature Added

Significant rule of motorcycle rider safety:

When you're more likely to be noticed, you're less likely to be hit.

Since I began riding, I've noticed that a lot of motorcycles -- usually "mini moto" size up to mid-size "normal" street bikes more so than race-style "crotch-rockets," "hog" cruisers, and "baggers," but some of those as well -- sport stuffed "notice me" talismans at the rear of the seat.

I've seen a number of dragons, a few Marvel Cinematic Universe characters (Deadpool and Wolverine, mostly), and at least one bright pink "My Little Pony" plushie.

Not a bad idea! I've been thinking about what kind to put on the Lifan KP Mini 150.

I have something on the way that I added to my first "Amazon Haul" (Amazon's attempt to compete with Temu) order to reach the order minimum. Something that kind of says "happy to see you." It may go on there ... too. The main reason for the order was to get some spools so that the bike's rear end can go up on a stand (I don't have the stand yet) when I'm working on it, but those were less than $10 and you have to order $25 to get the low prices and free shipping, so I looked for, and found, other useful things.

Yesterday, though, we were at Goodwill (my youngest wants to periodically go there to look for particular monitors/televisions -- he's obsessed with both CRT and plasma types for some reason), and I saw the perfect thing for:

1. A Linux user whose bike is
2. Black and yellow.

A couple of zip ties later:

I'm guessing that Tux will be noticed. And possibly thereby save my life.
