I ride for pleasure, not as a fashion statement.

We've been wearing Hi-Viz mesh jackets AND helmets for years.

One of my modular helmet actually have a L.E.D light at back of it which can stay on steady or flash.

Riding to us is all about the journey AND getting there in ONE piece, be it work or pleasure ride.

Wearing the "bad-a$$" black and leather just isn't our tyle of cruising. We're what's called "motorcycle enthusiasts", NOT bad-a$$ bikers.

So, here's a good read for you, although it really don't show the statistics of wearing Hi-viz gear vs no Hi-viz gear...

Hi-viz or not to Hi-viz...

Hi viz and stylish. Right where they belong. In front of the "run, Forrest, run" driveway.

When I replaced my helmet a few years back, I wanted a white one but there was a screaming deal on hi-viz closeouts. So I doubled down on stylishness. I couldn't not slap a happy face on that silly yellow circle. It's a crowd pleaser. And there's nothing creepy about it at night.

I wish finding hi-viz attire was easier. I wear a hi-viz mesh jacket during the riding season and wish there was a similar selection for cooler weather riding.

Discussions on the effectiveness of hi-viz is like discussions WE ALL ENJOY 🤣 on Sta-Bil fuel additives, battery tenders for long term storage, and oil change intervals. . .

There are “believers”, non-“believers”, and skeptics. No matter what anyone says, no one will change their mind. Ever.
