    I am the proud owner of the most travelled furry dice ever. They started life in China, then found a home in Halfords, where I took pity on them. They then went to California (after all, all the leaves were brown and the sky was grey, I went for a walk on such a winters' day (and bought them) - come on where do those lyrics come from?) :lol: And then they came back!!!!!! Currently dangling from the mirror in my Disco, but I feel the need to send them on some place else :D

    See-see-ers,watch your letter box :lol:
     
  8. They went to California and were returned :eek: :eek:

    ......thinks to self "Now, who lives in California?".........

    California Dreaming,

    The rim tape was bought by me and shipped inside the US.

    I bought these, rather than being in a roll, they were in pre-cut crescents for the size of my rims, so dead easy to put on

  13. A mate at work has 'black reflective' rim tape, you can't see it until you're at a certain angle then it glows! Looks alright actually!

    Sorry they still look gay.
     
  15. I think it depends on the bike. My dad had it on his old bike (05 R1) and it really set it off. Looks sh*t if it's too thick though. most ebay stuff is 6mm, 3mm looks far better ;) .
     
  16. I think rim tape looks lame but I have the grey reflective stuff on my wheels. You cant see it unless you really looked at my rims hard but its good for night time safety riding
