Which colour for high vis vest?

1. Dominate your lane - never, NEVER ride on the left hand lane unless you have to. You have the right to the whole lane, so ride in the centre and right hand side.

I'd have to disagree to some extent there. If you're riding in a clear lane with stopped traffic next to it, ride on the side the most away from the traffic as you can almost guarantee some plonker will pull out in front of you. by riding in this position, you will have more room and more time to react.

just my 2c

I have to wear an orange vest at work sometimes if I am on the road. I'm quite badly colour blind and they look crap to me, blending in with the trees and the background. Yellow seemed like it stuck out so much more. On a bike though I have to go with the others. Black. Keep them guessing.

Hi Vis vests. Nature's way of telling you that you're in a crap job.

[hellokitty]

thats my preference, stuff the vest justy use all the 97 decibels your allowed

I have noticed that the new louder bike makes a difference

You'll never know until you tried.

My bike is my hi vis. I've also got reflective tape stuck to my backpack.

Yeah, good point. It comes down to using the whole lane, but not to travel in the left hand lane as a matter of course

i wear an orange one out of habit now. originally, i bought it to wear home when i was finishing at 7pm. now, its never off my jacket. i do find there are less cars pulling out on me, though i still get tail gated quite a bit. i also found the reflective piping on my wet weather pants made a world of difference as well when it came to vehicles in side roads. i could see them start to move and then see the piping and stop.

where do you get the reflective tape from? been thinking of getting some for the top box, even though its got built in reflectors.

High Vis wearers are namby pamby little bitches who do everything in their power to make motorcyclists look as tame looking as possible.
Being a biker is about being a badass motherfucker who doesn't give a shit, the road is OUR bitch.

Some day you high vis wearing little bitches are going to get the shit kicked out of you and you're going to DESERVE it for making us look weak.

I wanna red one - with my blood type on the back!! - just given blood recently - saw there new poster with ppl in red vis vests. Looked cool.

Movement aside, the human eye reacts best to yellow

Additionally the orange sodium streetlights tend to make red dark

My "Aim for me, I'm a Target" Jacket is that slime yellow colour and I always wear a white helmet
