Yeah, I wear one, because most of my riding time is in urban areas, and 'oops sorry I didn't see you' are not the last words I want to hear in this life.

I'd rather look stupid and stay alive, rather than gain some dubious 'cool' points and run a greater risk of being knocked of by some half-blind commuter.

It's a damned shame my mum has forced me to wear a vest (she will take away the keys if I refuse to wear one). I have a black bike, black leathers, black helmet and black boots. I could've been a total badass

But Fluoro Jackets are the pinnacle of fashion. If anything, fluoro vests are cooler than you

I don't wear a vest but have thought about it after a couple of near misses. They also say that white is the most visible helmet.

hehe wonder how popular Streetfighter would look if he wore all black...and a vest

You could always ride down the street a bit then remove it :sneaky2: but then your mum would end up killing you anyways if she found out.

Well I have got the white helmet.....

I am looking at getting the limegreen vest and the strips on the back of it..
Just been procastinating about getting it... and it, then has to fit over the jacket... so its gonna be a huge size. I do keep eyeing up those guys wearing them on the side of the road.... and think hmmmm I shall whip it off him and he won't even see me doing it...lol but alas they are so much bigger than me.... and they might beat me up...lol...... so I have to head to the safety shop and check out the prices....

I want the lime one not the orange one...... Lime would be seen further away than the orange one I reckon.

I wear one during the hours of darkness.

My two piece Alpinestars suit is in blue, white and black, so I stand out pretty well anyway. Shit, now that I think about it, blue/white bike, blue/white suit, blue/white gloves, blue/white helmet. Arrgh, I think I might be a fashion victim!
