Evil, your handlebar is glowing! At what bike shop were you able to find ET's finger in stock? Cuz I've been hunting one down for a while now and everyone keeps giving me the old "sorry, we're sold out" line.

It's custom. I had to spend 4 hours chanting in a ring of candles, and then blam: glowing red handlebars. Its cool, but I can't take the bike near churches.
