Coney Island bikes

After seeing a few well decorated bikes at the meets this year, I thought I'd post these from the Motorcylepedia Museum. Amazing.

We used to call those rear light setups 'Turkey Tails'...

Slight overkill perhaps, far less irritating than today's strobe lights. "Gee, officer, I didn't even see him" would be tough to explain.

I remember seeing one of these in the early seventies. The owner had batteries in the saddlebags to power the lights, even then he said the lights killed the batteries pretty quick. The batteries weren't connected to the bike wiring so he had to manually recharge them.
