Often, motorcycle turn signals look like they were added as afterthought by the manufacturer. They usually look out of place and the same one can be seen on different models. And if that's the case with your motorcycle, here's a crowd-funding Kickstarter project that may interest you.

The project was submitted by MuzaMoto in the USA and it involves some kickass and very stylish turn signals.

Don’t Ever Complain About Your Gas Station Again

I've heard fellow motorcycle riders complain about the amenities of their gas station, or some bikers even complain about the pumps. After you see this "gas station" in Somalia you'll never complain again.
