Safety vests

[BikerDazz]

Was a metaphorical "step out side" And it is a bit cool to step out side....over here.

So there is nothing conclusive to be drawn from our respective riding records....and I have only been using a vest for s short time....Would be interesing to get some accurate data....

All good homes.
Actually I crashed everything when I was young, but maybe that's made me a better driver/rider for the experience.

Very true. It's when other's opinions that differ strongly from my own become law that I start to object.

+1 on that

Accurate data does exist. The study I heard about came out in favour of vests being of benefit. However, the riders that were studied were already vest wearers. The fact that vest wearers are, no average, safer than not vest wearers is more than likely because they are more careful riders in the first place - with or without the vest.

Correlation does not imply causation.

The brain is looking for a threat, once it was lions and enemies, now it is other vehicles.

From now on I shall be riding in a lion suit.

ah, you couldn't pay me to wear a gay hi-viz vest or homo-erotic leather tassles.

But you ride a Scorpio?

As an ex-GN rider, I had to take the shot. Sorry about that...

I was gonna say "at least it's not a GN!"

I loved my GN, and now that I am bikeless find myself looking at them on tardme. Nearly bid on a GN 400 recently. They go so nicely with my white helmet and high vis jacket.

Will probably get a Yamaha 225 though, dual purpose though, not the Scorpio.

Good luck with that.

Just wait till I get my big wheels licence then I'll be real flash (the scorpio has been a bloody good little commuter though).
