Four is a good number. One antenna has no cred at all.

foglights on the roof, that's the prize. Of course, when it's
actually foggy, they don't work ....

I've seen the flanno lookalike jersey, but any links to the denim look
knicks?

I must have been looking at the wanna be bogans. Where do I find the
REAL ones?

I found that the 5 LED front lights were very good, and any of the
flashing rear ones ditto.

have in stock, but unless you are looking to 'Bogan'* up your bike
with huge spotlights, this could be much cheaper than I thought.

Brendo I think you need to fight back by building a bogon bike.
Four HID lights across the 'bars, a few red flags sticking out the side,
a couple of mirrors and some Bundy stickers and you'll be in with the
crowd! Don't forget the big belt buckle on your nicks.

I don't know if belt buckles are the go. I can wear a silly hat,
though, and mount my cleats to some Blundstones. Add a pair of acid
wash full length knicks and I'm set!

Out here in Lower Chittering. Three brothers, all had their licences for
only a few years, boganning up their utes to try and outdo each other.
You only need one mudflap if it goes all the way across the back and it just
has to say "CAT POWER" on it. A three meter aerial on each corner (and a
tiny one for the radio). I knew their mother when she was 13 (not in the
biblical sense).

Checks collection of belt buckles, one with Aus flag logo, sees two pairs of
blundstones, several wide-brimmed hats. Hmmm, better shut up.

But where are you going to put the giant bulls head window sticker?

Hey, I had something similar, but they were on the front of the rack and
only halogens.
1 x 50W high beam
1 x 20W low beam
and 2x 20w slightly offset to wide beam for bush tracks.

But then you have to wear an aukubra and you know what that means.

Nah, haven't seen them in a couple of years. Every now and again
someone might be out displaying them. They are grotesque - even have a
couple of fake pockets on the bum.

Now you're getting retro-bogan. We've gone past several types of sour

I am thinking of doing some around the block type riding at night
rather than sitting on the trainer. It won't be on any major roadways,
mostly just the local neighbourhood, and street lighting will be in
place. On eBay there are 100 different LED light sets, but I am
assuming that there are mostly crud. If they werew any good, they
would sell for more than $6.95.

Good brand and model of lights are???

If there are any parameters needed let me know, I'll try to narrow the
search down as I find out things I didn't know that I needed to know.

P.S. This is asked before I have been to any LBS.

P.P.S. Dynamo hub is out of the question

Brendo

Have you checked out the AYUP lights? www.ayup.com . These look
seriously good. For some reason they come in a multi-light package,
but you could split an order with a mate and have two sets for around
$200 each. Anyone keen to split with me?

Boganup sounds like a country town in WA. If it doesn't exist, it ought to.

There's a bogan catchment down there too, isn't there?

Ahhh, previous life. Actually Bikesoiler is a superb homebrewer, his ginger beer has a growing league of fans. To cut a long short short, we were planning to do a Dark & Scary, ie: HB ginger with cheaparse rum. One day we'll get around to it. Or not.

Needless to say the aforementioned bogans come to steal the sign about
four times a year.

So now it is up to Vic, Qld, Tas and SA to give their bogans a home.

That's a dark & festy, though I don't think the grog really matters if
it's that cheap. Thankfully it killed whatever brain cells were supposed
to remember what we were drinking. Aaaah, youth.
