I assume it’s different in IRL, but the reflections of the hexagon light arrays are annoying as hell. Seems like it would be really annoying to do detailing type work under them

they are actually specifically for detailing so imperfections can be picked out very easily. It’s less obtrusive in real life versus pics.

The way I tell people to picture this is like when you're trying to angle the sun so you can see swirl marks or water spots - this creates sun angles all over the place so you won't have to move your head, you can just see them.

Makes sense. Ambient light is not sufficient.

that would make cleaning the inside of a windshield easier as well. Clean it 10000x times, still miss spots as soon as the sun hits it.

Now that the Rocket iii is registered and become by daily ride, the 800 America is getting prepped for sale.

It's getting a full repaint - Not sure if colour change yet, but will be simliar . . Considered Mazda sole red crystal, but at $500/litre decided against it :p
Also getting some rechroming done, then a full detail of everything 'hidden' and then up for sale . . .

Yeah, it's a tight / untidy garage . . but it works.

Reminder that your license plate links your real name to your internet presence, which is easily looked up for a few bucks; doxxing yourself.

Reminder - Not in Australia it doesn't....well it does if you want to pay for a service, and it's NOT cheap....., but seriously, there is no difference to riding around and people writing the number down.
Not every country has your data freely available to anyone that wants it.

Right, sorry, was getting you confused with the guy who moved back to the US from Japan.

I'm not even sure how legal the plate look up sites are for the US. I wouldn't be surprised if you have to sign an e-document, to send in with your $20, claiming you are a bounty hunter or some such.

Why risk it? The left infests every type of government agency that does have access.

All good, I actually work in Cyber security for a central bank, and yeah, identity fraud is a serious issue, but here, license plates are not a gateway to that.

They are tied to the VIN of the vehicle - easy to get, as well as the registration date / due date and insurer, but for anything else . . . you mostly need a warrant.
They are pretty good that way :)
