I had the great fortune of riding my '03 Harley Davidson 100 anniversary Softail to the AMA Women's Conference in Atlanta Georgia in 2006.
It was an amazing three-week roundtrip journey from Sacramento, down to Vegas, up to the Grand Canyon back down through New Mexico, across Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Alabama, to arrive in Gerogia on Thursday. That ride was my 50th birthday present to myself. What a gift I received.
Friday night at the reception Jenny from MAD Maps called my name as the recipient of the grand prize! Shock and awe, it was nothing short of amazing! In that generous gift package were so many useful and wonderful gifts, boots, a custom made-to-fit She-Moto leather jacket, travel packs, MAD Maps, flashlights, gloves, local gift certificates, cards, etc. Such an awesome gift package I needed the help of friends to carry everything out and box stuff up to ship home.
All except my Motolights!
The next day I took my certificate over to their trailer upgraded to the chrome, 'cause there aint' nothing like bling on a bike baby :) waited about an hour and I cannot even begin to tell you the difference it made. They did such an awesome job installing my Motolights they looked like they were a part of my bike, not an add on.
The best part, the most amazing thing about these lights? While riding back home up to Tennessee, through Kentucky, Indiana, Illinois, zigzagging the borders of Missouri, Kansas, Iowa, hitting Hwy 80 across Nebraska, Wyoming, Utah, Nevada into Sacramento...no one, not one person, cage driver, cyclist, rider, whatever -- has ever since that day to this, cut in front of me or cut me off. Not once!
I noticed that one thing the very next day. The peace of mind that brought me riding home. Priceless. I felt safe being able to ride into the night for the first time! These lights lit up the road like day light. After I got home I had the lights hardwired into my system. They stay on all the time, day and night.
I swear by my bike, I would ride without my helmet, I would not ride without my Motolights. True story!

Thanks for a great testimonial. If you're going for safety, you can't put a price on it. That's what I've always said.
