    Well there's a new wrinkle. Saw a guy today riding along wearing his nice hi-viz vest ... wearing shorts! Must have been bi-polar or something. Oh the contradiction! Truly hope he doesn't think the hi-viz works that well.

    Don't be in too big of a hurry to buy Hi-viz .... I am currently working on a project to develop a "Hi-vis black" for motorcycle apparel!

    Can't say too much at this stage as I am still testing it but ........ soon! ..... You guy's will be the first to know!

    Will probably be marketed by word of mouth!

    Even if it looks and feels like real leather I won't wear it on a matter of principle.

    It's not really black - more a dark charcoal - and it reflects as white.
    Do you realise how many holes there could be if people would just take the time to take the dirt out of them?

    Nothing personal. I don't believe in hi-vis and refuse to be dictated to.

    The sales pitch is working! Reminds me of that joke re this young kid that walks in to the corner dairy and asks for a box of Tampax. Why do you want them the shop owner wonders. "I did see on TV that you can play tennis, swim, ski etc, when using them" he replies. "So I figured if I had some I could do all that too!"

    May the bridges I burn light the way.
