I'm sure the Gypsy jokers, Bandidoes and hells angels guys will all wear flouro ... it'd be worth it just to see them roaring through town on their Harleys with high vis vests on .... i can just see it now ....

Next thing someone will insist they wear a helmet.

Just stupid.

Its only natural selection at work - Put the dumbest people on the roads on the smallest fastest machines with the least protection

At least you are well qualified to make the assessment.

This is a stupid idea because it will create a false sense of security for riders and drivers alike.  Seriously if you can't see a motorcyclist when you are out driving then you should not be allowed on the road. Making law abiding riders wear one of these stupid vests won't change the habits of stupid car drivers who seem oblivious to the movements of riders anyway.

Or if you're a cyclist, don't drive like an idiot. Stay out of people's blind spots. Don't ride down the middle of the road until traffic's stopped. And so on.

Get rid of helmet laws.  Get rid of all laws concerning motorcyclists.  But first have all drivers sign a statement that they understand they will be refused any medical care in the case of an accident that is funded, in any way, by the tax payer.

Yes - how can you be cool like the Fonz or the Easy Riders  - riding without a helmet?

I just got my license and am happy to wear a helmet.

Bright colours suit my complexion so I don't even mind fluorescent vests.

But look at the pic -

how cool is it that Jack Nicholson has a helmet behind him & doesn't wear it!

I suspect that teenaged boys might find that cool. I think it's a bit silly. And the bike itself is revolting.

I thought it looked fantastic when I was a teenager.

Now I was hoping for a few bites.  Smiley
