Going off topic here for a bit. Ref a safety vest to be seen. There is a theory that motorcycles are not seen because cars don't perceive us as a threat. My bike is two tone and coupled with a white or silver helmet I can be mistaken for a cop. At the parking lot at work one day an acquaintance of mine told me he saw me at the intersection and initially slowed down cause he thought I was law enforcement, then realized it was just me. I'm a big believer in risk management and will take every advantage possible. For that reason i don't go for black bikes or black helmets even though black and chrome is the coolest look in the world. Just my 2 cents, your mileage may vary.
