Photo Radar Avoidance:
I have rigged up a power antenna to pull the license plate up under the fender when I am approached by the police.  I Highly recommend doing this if you have Photo-Radar in your area!

	Looks pretty normal from this view, Nice shot of the Two Brothers Pipe!
	Here is the way it works.  As you can see, I took a power antenna from a car & modified it's guts so it will only extend about a foot when it is switched on.  The antenna protrudes out the back of the bike & pulls a string which pulls the bottom of the license plate up.
	when the antenna is not protruding, there is a spring holding constant tension on the top of the license plate so it stays visible.  All the parts to do this cost me under $20 & about 3 hours of time to install. I was kinda making it up as I went.  With these photos, you could do it in about an hour.

The Talking Motorcycle:
Yep, she really talks to me! Not quite as sophisticated as Kitt from  Knight-Rider, but a lot better that the cars that tell you Door Ajar!  
My computer was purchased at a Toys R Us for $10 & it was designed for a bicycle.  I removed all the pretty casing & speaker & took the main IC (Integrated Circuit) board & packaged it by itself.  I then removed the speaker & soldered lines for a headphone jack in their place.  I also soldered an external 4 AA battery pack.  It turned out to be quite small considering the original casing it came in.   I hid it in the upper left fairing above the turn signal & it fit perfect.  I wrapped it in a plastic ziplock to keep out water & dirt & secured it all with rubber bands.
Now, I can plug in my & it will tell me:

• Current Speed

• Distance Traveled

• Time elapsed

• Countdown Timer

I'll Add photos Shortly, it is still in beta testing!
