We especially wear hi-viz at night or when there's reduced visibility.

A Gold Wing has decent rear lighting, but others do not. We were following a bunch of bikes one night and it really surprised us at the lack of visibility.

Some reflective piping or stripes on a jacket or helmet really shows up in the headlights.

We have several other bikes and have attempted to add some visibility to the rear. After TWICE being rear-ended at stoplights, whilst wearing hi-viz jackets and white helmets.

The extra lights on the license plate area are simply DOT LED side marker lights from the local truck stop. The mount is a small piece of sheet metal, bolted in with, and behind the license plate.

Interesting to note that since installing the flashy brake lights that (for the most part) cars seem to keep a greater distance behind us.

We started wearing white helmets more than 20 years ago. Probably because they were on "clearance sale". They said that white helmets just don't sell.

And then we discovered that they're cooler. Leave them in the sun for an hour and then lay your hand on the helmet. It's just warm. Try that with a black helmet.
