However, PLEASE!!! DO NOT REPOST THIS TO THIS LIST. I'm putting this here only because the original source of a much sought after safety item has dried up. It's true. She has almost a full roll left right now. She should have some at Fredricksburg for those making the National. Her prices are a little higher than Gall's, they charge .20 an inch - 4 inch wide - (or 9.99 for 4 feet) she charges .30 an inch or $3.50 a foot, but she can't buy in the same volume Gall's can so her cost is higher than theirs. This weekend she will be at the Land of OZ Rally in Kansas. If you're interested in getting with "The Woman" about the reflective tape, please call her at 505 762-0365 (PC Solutions) during the day. -- I don't suffer from insanity.....I enjoy every minute of it!

I made templates for the back of my bags, out of light cardboard, then traced out the lines on the back of the tape and cut them out. Then you peel away the backing from the reflective tape and *stick* it carefully to *where_ever* you'd like the stuff to go. It sticks well, so be sure to position wisely!

It sticks well, so be sure to position wisely! > > Good luck, > Butch Ah yes, sage advice from Uncle Butch. What he failed to add was, after you have the tape attached to your bike, bags, whatever, take out the hairdryer and a soft cloth (I use a small towel but think a T-Shirt is better), warm the tape up and use the cloth to smooth the softened glue backing into the pores of the bags or whatever. When it cools, it's there to stay. -- I don't suffer from insanity.....I enjoy every minute of it!
