Re: Hi Vis safety cover

Adds to visibility, detracts from aesthetics. Probably not cool to admit it, but part of the appeal of riding a bike is to be a bit of a rebel. This doesn't exactly scream "I'm a Badass" to me. But people will probably notice you better.

I think you can accomplish some of this without giving up aesthetics with reflective piping, leds and so on. I haven't been hit yet, my tune might change after I get rear ended.

I like it but then I am a bit of a Safety nut. Start a fad, blind tailgaters and make their eyes bleed. Looks like a relatively simple way to get others attention.

I understand its not at all cool but it takes two seconds to put on or take off and just might save your life. Anyhoo thanks for the imput. It was as I expected it to be :2tup:

Re: Hi Vis safety cover

After my wife became permanently disabled due to a driver not seeing us, I have worn Hi Vis on pretty much every ride. My regular motorcycle jacket is Hi Vis, and I have a safety vest to go over my mesh jacket in hot weather. On a motorcycle, cool is staying alive.
