Hey Waxy,

I LOVE the idea of of using soda bottles and other recycled materials.

Why recycle when you can RE-PURPOSE!?!?! Plus you get the joy of saying "see those really cool headlight aero-mods? That's right, they're leftover soda bottles".

There isn't a large garbage pickup day in my community. Every once in a while I would happen to be going through some other town when they are doing that. Most people look at it as one giant free rummage sale!

I was able to use quite a bit of scrap and recycled material on my motorcycle. It's as much fun to say that it was recycled as it is to say that it was free..
