I saw something even cooler than that (although they'd make a great pair). It's a twist grip that replaces your old grip, and when you twist it, it makes a very convincing motorbike sound. So you can sit at the lights and rev your 'engine', and then peel out and hear that Turbospoke roar!

Allright, but you have to get these to go with them, in place of ground effects.

I'd actually get some of that stuff if it weren't so freaking expensive. $30 per spoke and you need 3 per wheel? Forget it!

Maybe I'll just dig out a few old baseball cards and a clothespin instead...

If they made good reflective spinners that could fit on the hub I'd buy it in a ****ing heartbeat.

I'm getting those fugly/spectacular Riv tires probably within the month.
Really wish they had picked better colors, though.

How will those Riv tires match your new paint job?
