You should have a mirror anyway, that way you'll know if a big truck is rolling up on you when you have to 'skim' around a drainage grate.
Dayam, your state sucks, but I'd follow your laws to the letter. If you already have blinkers and a horn, just make sure you wear your helmet, eh.
I went for a munchie run a couple of hours ago, and a cop stopped me on my way out, got out of his cruiser, came over. "That's a cool bike where'd you get that?" "I built it sir, I can get over 100mpg" "Right on, just make sure you keep that helmet on", and away he went.
That was way too much stress for two bags of Doritos and a Haagen-Das Bar. But I had all my lights going and my helmet on(even though I look like a dork) so he was just checking out the bike.
Still, way too much stress. Heh heh. Could've been worse though, take care.
