The average biker will look like a tumorous under-cooked pork sausage in pink leathers.

A bit like a polonie with a burst skin.

If you were looking at a row of black bikes, with one, a candy pink, it would stand out like the perverbial. Same if the row were all candy pink colours and there was one black bike parked in the middle. It would stand out.

Sort of shows, there is no one safety colour, just what ever is different.

If I did wear a pink leather outfit. I'd be pretty damn safe, I would be the only bastard dumb enough to wear pink and who of you could ever live down owning up to not seeing some pink dick on a bike before collecting him.

I'll leave you with that, though I understand the logic and the desired effect.l

Only on the road. In bars and sports grounds you could get beaten up, and if you hang out behind public toilets you would be at risk of surprise buttsecks...

When I owned a black car I'd always have at least the fog lights on no matter what. Cool little blue lights at the front. The number of other cars who flashed me to tell me my lights were on was amazing, as if I didn't know

Anyhow most of the time you can't see the colour of the bike until its too late, and you probably shouldn't be fixing on the target that much. Just avoid the black hole

Perhaps cars should have a big fat Hi Vis reflectorised strip around them? Might suggest it to ACC.

i had heard that cars are involved in 100% of car crashes.
