Holiday fun

T'was thinking about sprucing up my bike for a parade in a few weeks. One of my neighbors has a bunch of deer antlers that I thought about attaching to the mirror stalks, but maybe that's not a good idea.

Short of that, since I've got a red bike and red leathers anyway, why not a santa hat for my helmet?

Maybe something like this?



Wouldn't be to hard to paint up and using some cardboard and a few small thin wood strips as reinforcements.

Love it! My neighbor works for a place that makes aluminum composite panels (6mm alum plywood) It would be ideal for this application.

I gotta wonder how the hell you get off the bike with that attached to the sides though.

PVC spacers or something of the sort between the panels and the bike will push them out enough to give you room to get on and off as well as put the sidestand down.
