i talked to a couple of newbie riders and they said to me, when they are riding they wera reflective vests (like road workers). i personally don't, but wondered is this a common practice, or new craze or something?

Immature and proud of it.
They're a great idea, extra visibility and all that. I just can't get past the naff factor.
Speed doesn't kill people.
Stupidity kills people.

Kiwi back at home!
and more people will turn to the no rego, no mirrors, no indicators, slick tires sort of bike as rules like this will just convince more people to not bother about the police and just run!that they could eventualy be made compulsary.

Ive got a big willy
always ride with one on, when riding alone or at night, lets the cagers see you and have even beeen mistaken for plod, keeps the bastards away from me.
Dont care what people think, am still alive because of the jacket.
Please NOTE: If I offend you with any of my posts or comments, please remember that.
1. I do it on purpose
2. I dont give a shit
3. Tell some one who cares.

I've worn one a couple of times when I first started riding( The big yellow L plate didn't stand out enough)I still will wear it, when its dark or on a overcast day.
You might look alittle silly but atleast they (hopefully) will see you. It's probably not a bad thing for a newbie like me.
The yellow L Plate is now long gone thanks to $295 (passrite)
One hell of a ride.
Safety shmafety - they rate 10/10 for nerdiness. Harden up and be cool.
The ones that get me are the ones who wear flouro vests with jeans and sneakers. Duuuuhhhhh!

I usually wear either a vest or a reflective jacket. Rather be naff than cool on ice in the morgue.
Wearing Hi-Viz Black.
Perhaps the vest coupled with a nice yellow rotating beacon on top of the helmet?
Might confuse cagers into beleiving we are all Caterpillar earthmovers or something incredibly large and solid...

yeah, i suppose there are pros or cons for both.
Dont start on those people, who werar shorts and sneakers.
saw a article in this months superbike magazine of a guy who came off a bike at 50km/h just wearing that, and his leg was so mushed, you had no problem seeing the bone

theres a guy who rides local....first time i saw him, thought his bike was a harley, but recent sightings have confirmed his bike is not, but rather some form of japa v-twin. he wears a fluro vest all the time...can even spot him from the other side of the river, lol.
i dont wear one, but have taken to wearing a blue denim vest over the top of my jacket.
seen a few guys wearing jackets, sneakers and shorts. never mind the road rash....wouldnt the heat from the engine burn your legs somewhat?

the really happy person is one who can enjoy the scenery when on a detour.
