    eek Where are the Taste Police when you really need them?

    Regular Kiwi Biker readers should by now be well familiar with my views on flouro vests.

    Well tonight, whilst minding my own business returning the IT Guru to his Bat Cave, what should I spy with my little eye?

    I need a few deep breaths to calm myself before sharing this next bit with you, gentle readers. I suggest that the aged and infirmed amongst you do something similar.

    Are you all relaxed and sitting quietly?

    OK.

    Not just a flouro vest was spied. Not just a flouro vest whose markings were in the shape of an X. Oh noes.

    I've come over all tremulous recalling that memory.

    No. It was a flouro vest in the shape of a cross with...

    Coloured lights.

    Blue ones. And other shades too, but my retinas were scarred after the first assault.

    I tasted a little sick in the back of my mouth, perhaps because I had inadvertently left my Death Ray Gun(TM) at home.

    Dear oh dear.

    Go safely through the darkness, oh Tasteless Biker. May Those In Authority Over Us not ticket your sorry arse for displaying non-red lights to the rear.

    It was Santa Clause with his new ride. The vest was a gift from Mrs. Clause, she made the elves work day and night on that. He dare not leave home without it.

    Geeze mate, you must really be rattled.

    Going on about a vest which I can only imagine must be made of flour when I'm sure you intended to refer to attire of the fluorescent variety.

    Time for a cup of tea and a lie down methinks.

    One wonders who it is who should be doing the sipping and reclining.

    I call "Bogusness", or "Imposterosity".
    The real Hitcher would never write "flouro".

    I hate my fluoro vest-attachment-thingo. Despite its minimalist size, and non-flappiness, it is turrbl for collecting road spooge.
    And it fux me off coz it's so.... so.... PC.

    I only wear it attached to my ghey Macna jacket because the vifferbabe bought the jacket, and she asked me to wear it, perhaps because she's concerned for my Safety, or perhaps because she wants me to look like a FluoroDork.
    I wear it only because it seems to sometimes cause brain-dead car drivers to make way for me, presumably because they think I'm some sort of Official or Officious Motorbicycle Rider, like a Police Motorbicyclist or Paranormal Person or Summat.
    ... and that's what I think.

    Or summat.


    Or maybe not...

    Dunno really....

    The question is would you not have seen it with your little eye, or noticed it at all, if it had not been so dressed!!!

    Life would be so much easier if you addressed questions with a simple answer.

    Are you dropping some sort of hint that you would like one given to you as a birthday present?

    1 in x-number of men are colour blind. Its times like this I think ye may benefit.

    Shot of whisky in some warm milk before bed to help ease into sleep may help.

    I would have run them over perhaps? Drawn to them like a fly to a zapping machine ...
