Thank you Would I have to send my bike to New Plymouth? *starts to sniffle at the tought of sending my bike away*

Or would they send me the parts and I'd get them installed here?

*will have to wait to see if I need to fork out any $$ towards my partners bike fixing before I spend money on other stuff*

Thanks again They look great

I was following a biker the other night, and he was VERY visible. He was dressed in a white suit with reflective fluoro stripes on arms, legs, back and chest, and the suit picked up headlights and streetlights from several hundred metres away. He looked like a Christmas tree!

It made me think again about wearing gear like this, as it gave him a very high profile, visibility-wise.

Yeah I was talking to a guy at the bike shop here who has the same leathers as me said he'd never go back just black leathers again for visibility reasons. Our leathers have 3M reflective panels on them as well which add to the visibility.

They send you a kit (all it is is a little black box with wires coming out) and you get it fitted. Very easy to fit. Some one on site should be able to help you fit it or bring it down here.

Motomail *were* selling them (but given how slack they've been getting, they probably don't any more.)

those are the coolest looking vest I've seen.

*wouldn't mind being seen in one of those*

Where can you buy them from? How much?

Yes, they are rather good. I'd buy one, if I knew where.

Which also gives me an idea. What about a KiwiBiker fluoro vest, to raise funds for Spankme ?

Excellent idea

[placidfemme]

Yeah all we'd need to do is buy however many vests are needed (depending on demand) and then get SpankMe to have the KB logo printed onto them, with an slight extra cost for profits and it's all sorted

Any idea where to get those from?

looks like we need 3 of them...

According to the poll, there are 6 people who want one but 3 have them but don't use them....

If you don't find something, how about reflective stickers on your helmet,

There used to be triangular red "Be Safe, Be Seen" stickers that were especially for riders to put on their helmets (I would presume they chose a glue that wasn't going to mess with the integrity of the helmet) I used to have some - they were small though so not a lot of use.

If it had been a public poll, we could have seen who the three were and PM'ed them with an offer for their unwanted vests - first-in, first served.

Would ACC do that? I work next to the ACC on Sale Street... if that helps any...
