I am sorry that the quality of the video that my phone produces is poor. This video is uneventful too, he did not crash.
The bike is a 2008 Harley Davidson Dyna FXDL. It has a Vince & Hines Big Radius exhaust system, different cams, custom paint and numerous other mods.
A long time friend of mine had never ridden a large motorcycle before and has very little riding experience in general. He has wanted a Harley for a long time. He finally bought one and got his permit.
I rode it to a parking lot where he could get some practice riding without worrying about much traffic. After a little while he felt comfortable enough on it to ride in traffic.
I followed him back to my house and he said that he is hooked.
And now for a boring technical explanation of why the tail light appears to be blinking:
The tail light does not blink when you are looking at it. It only appears to be blinking on the video. This is because it is a light-emitting diode (LED) tail light that uses pulse-width modulation. PWM rapidly flashes the LEDs to produce different levels of brightness; too fast for most people to perceive. The tail light is always on when the ignition is on. It gets brighter when the brakes are applied. The low level is achieved with PWM. The video is 30 frames per second and the PWM rate is unknown by me but is faster than 30 flashes per second. The result is similar to how a strobe light will alter the perceived speed of a rapidly rotating object.
