I tried that, but he and the other guy with him didn't know where we were going.
That's an excellent question, Cameron. And I'd guess that we all know the answer. Chris implied it in his answer to the question: Style! Too many riders want to look macho. I've noticed lots of folks riding with the reflective vests, particularly when I'm near military installations. I don't think they'd help a whole lot on an NT with a topbox. But they sure can't hurt anything. I'll always wear hi-viz and a light colored helmet.On a related noted, why in the worst of weather (rain mostly) is raingear not as brightly colored as they can make them? Everybody seems to buy black. I choose orange or flourescent yellow/green. Much prefer to look like a road cone than a speed bump anyday. Off my soapbox...
