When I pick up my older leathers, I'm thinking off sewing a narrow reflective tape/ piping on the sleeves like some of the newer jackets. anyone know where such tape/material can be found. I aint ever gonna wear a go stop dude flurovest. I don't know how some guys on seriously nice machines can get about looking like a mobile disco. If your that scared you need to look stupid, why not stay at home and watch the telly as its safe there. Each to their own I guess. Some discrete reflective markers must make some sense I guess.:blink:

I got some wide reflective tape from Protector Safety I think. Places like that should sell different widths as well.

err.... haven't put it on yet... I'm hopeless.

with building site work and what not, the helmet gets really dirty, so may hold off a few months
