There is a reason why safety professionals everywhere believe in Hi Viz. Black on a motorcycle is crazy and worse at night. Saying that, after buying a hi-viz vest of the yellow colour, I think there is some validity to the claim of yellow blending into some light backgrounds. Im suggesting...
I didn't realize being younger allowed recovering from catastrophic injuries. Lighten up will you guys. It's supposed to be a discussion to keep us safer. I didn't mean anything personal - these are objective comments. Wear what you want. Done

A full face helmet is safer. Too bad you're not open enough to see the hi-viz point. I hope I don't see you in the ditch as I go by.

So to add to my point about hi visibility adding to our riding safety, I had my wife and daughter tail me and take some video and pics while riding in the dark. So the vest isn't style cool, but to me it's SAFETY cool. Notice the LED license frame, reflective strips, engine lights, front Pii...
To the example of the woman driver pulling out in front: My reply would have been either: 1) and I thought you had a brain OR 2) I suggest for everyone's safety you stay in the kitchen. Maybe politically incorrect, but so is life with no spine or legs. I don't wear shorts.

The car driver would then be the idiot, but he would most probably be alive. We as bikers can't ultimately win vs a car whether car drivers are unsafe or not. Make sense?

Don't be so sensitive. If you are wearing a black coat at night and I'm wearing my yellow reflective vest OVERTOP of my coat, who is more visible? Who are you fighting here? It's the people in the cars, that we CANNOT win against that must see us. So if you want to be cool, it might cost...
I just bought a Bohn Armor Cool Aire mesh jacket. There is nothing like it here in the stores. Order on the web from CA. It's like you have nothing on and you don't bake in the heat, yet still protected. https://www.bohnarmor.com/catalog/proddetail.php?prod=BGSC

I've used AirBnB for a trip to NYC. It was fantastic and easy to use. If I travel abroad or really anywhere where hotels aren't desired, I'll use AirBnB again.

Good day. I'm just back into riding in Toronto East.
Is there a list of group rides or clubs? Please email directly if you know.
Thanks
