Hey I have black jackets , pants and boots, I wear this colour only because, it is the main colour the shops sell.
BUT, I have a silver helmet, and I ride often with guys that have mainly white and silver helmets. (yeah we are not cool)
The point I want to make if anyone is interested is that when following these bikes the riders with white, silver and light
coloured helmets are far more visible at distance than those with dark helmets that just blend them into the countryside.
I am an older rider, so I dont give a hoot whether my light coloured helmet is cool or not.
If it was fashionable to have light coloured helmets I think riders would be more visible and hopefully be seen more by the one eyed cagers.
Didn't see no hi-viz in The Wild One ..
