I'm trying a neon yellow spray paint that's meant for plastic, as well as a hot pink that's not.  So far, haven't had time to ride.  The yellow will probably blend in with the dead grasses here more than the pink, but might last longer.  Someone else suggested the colored duct tape, which I have in neon colors also. Something will work at some point. What we need is a tiny transmitter that sends out a signal and is indestructible. James Bond, where are you?
