It's your own hide you're (possibly) saving, why give a rat's *** what anyone else thinks of the color?

Cheers bud, actually I aint worried about the fashion police, its just myself I am convincing at the moment, I got to admit I feel a bit like a glow worm, but I suppose, when I finally get riding if the snow and ice goes, I will get used to it, and anyway here in Germany, loads of Hi Viz stuff on the road.

Lol OK gotta agree, I was only convincing myself, and who knows it might save my bacon one day, as I do ride a bit hard sometimes.

Oh, I do take some ribbing from my riding buddies. I'll ask: "Can you see me?", and I'll get: "With my f**king eyes closed!!".

Mission accomplished.

I'll spare you the pics of my lime green chaps.

Edit: Ok, ok, I have on occasion been accused of looking like a BMW rider that stole a Harley.

I wear a white 3/4 helmet. I'm the only one in my little Troup that does. Some wear half helmets. Others refuse to wear one unless we ride into a helmet law state. I am switching to the Shark Evoline so I have the best of both worlds. (I hope). Not sure of color yet. Digging the Mezcal black chrome and white. Or the White and black.

Wear what your head tells ya. I don't think I'm at yellow yet. But my new rain gear will be hi-vis.

I got a Shark Evoline series 2 that is 7 years old now, that is why I am changing, keep away from the new Shark Evo One for the moment it has pinlock problems and visor gets scratched, but the Evoline 3 ST is a decent lid, well built and good price for a Modular, and works well, it is lighter than my lead weight Evoline 2, but it certainly does the job, I just went for the Schuberth C3 pro because the C4 Pro is due out in spring 2017 so you can get a C3 Pro Schuberth now for just above 400 dollars if you look around, and Schuberth is a way better build, however it is a flip up, and not complete modular like the Evoline, but if all the Police all over Europe are wearing Schuberth, there must be some solid safety reasons in there, just my 2 cents, below is the Schuberth I got.

I also have the C3 Pro - and it's a great lid. Solid, safe, quiet. You'll love it.

Mine's black though....
