the vest wont help much if they cant see your bike light up.. people hit police cars on the side of the road, and freight trains..

I have a few HD "nightvision" reflective patches. I've been thinking about putting them on a spare vest and jacket for night riding, but haven't got around to it yet.

+ 1000 pounds of man and machine flying at them. Wear whatever you like, they're still not watching for us.

It's not the headlight it's that little tail light.

Well, it looks like you did not get flamed too bad, oops, I guess someone from Oregon did. Got to watch those people in Oregon, they are different! You determine what is safety to you and keep riding, no worry about what others may think or even say!

I wish I'd been wearing one the night I got rear-ended in the dark. But I'm not sure the idiot had his headlights on, so it may not have helped.

I'm thinking the reflective tape on the helmet might have helped, too. But geez, I'd already added a bunch of lights to the back, and TAHT didn't even work.
