I am a fan of the whited out frame in these pics. But the fact that it glows in the dark, and that the maiden head emblem only shows up at night when it is glowing is super cool.
That would look wicked in a light parade.

Thought I would share.


No affiliation to seller, just tought the bike was cool and different and that I should share.

The guy who is selling it likens the paint to the stuff in the glowstick, which surly does wear out... but if you'll
remember your glow-in-the-dark superballs and frisbees  from your youth, there is similar stuff  that "recharges" when light hits it...
perhaps the paint is like that...

I think it is more of the rechargable regoable glow.
But what do I know.
White is too hard to keep clean. And I don't need a bike. But dang that is cool!

Not sure if he monitors the board but Frank (fnsmonk?) with the red/white tourer has some reflector type items that show up at night when lights hit them .... pretty neat stuff.

I have played around with the glow in the dark pigment. Depending on the color you use it can glow for 12 hrs. I used it on my garage floor with dots so when we loose power I can find my way to the door without tripping over something. From what I read you put it in some clear but it can't have UV filters in it or it will not charge. LED lights will charge it real fast.  I even put dots on my sidewalk to the house and daytime you can't see it but at night it shows up the sidewalk shape. We don't have street lights.
