As a car driver, I would never want to have a motorcycle split lanes next to me, legal or not.

Flame Decals
I know it's not quite "tech talk," but this is the closest forum I could find for my question. I have a 2006 that's all black and super boring. Does anyone know if it's possible to get the flame...
