First failure!

Oh no . . Oh dear . . .
After almost 600 miles . . one of the LEDs in my one of my tail lights quit working! :-\

Cry cry cry whine whine . .  nah, just kidding.

I aint no liberal snowflake.

Legit, yep, but many people do not realize how fragile LEDs actually are.

And while I haven't BEAT on this machine, I have used it, pushed it and tested it pretty well.
(I was doing Snownuts and Ice Ballet with it yesterday after four hours of sub freezing riding - I found a nice, LARGE  shallow frozen puddle) :P

LEDs are basically little glowing wires in a plastic blob on fragile little circuit boards.
But it is also cold . . which can have a deleterious effect on such things as well and it is also highly likely that it got impacted with a rock or two - or twenty seven. :o

So, Im good with it.

I was thinking about installing the turn signal set in the near future anyway, just because people don't understand the hand signals anymore (without a flying bird) and from behind, Im not sure someone in a car can clearly see my hand signal with the seat and other stuff.
Ive been a biker long enough to hear a lot of excuses out of cage drivers and some folks just can't resist riding a motorcycle's back tire until someone flashes something that encourages them to BACK OFF.
