And so now we know how you got your forum name. :blink:
Speaking only for myself, I do my best to avoid any contact with naked guys wearing tierras. You may be on to something...Guys wearing neon like colors get wasted all the time. I don't depend on visibility to keep me out of trouble, since I believe nothing but constant vigilance works. Cages do shit and then look to see if it worked, if at all, so don't count on your red or yellow outfit to keep you alive.
Ain't been hit yet. Nothing succeeds like success.Speaking only for myself, I do my best to avoid any contact with naked guys wearing tierras. You may be on to something...
I don't know how you got "didn't make much difference."If I read the article correctly?, I think it concurred with radman -- conspicuity just didn't make much difference it their testing.
Your favorite view, JeffI like to ride behind Grumpy. He wears that bright yellow Aerostich suit and has those flashy headlight modulators. Looks like a 800 lb. canary-on-crack coming down the road. All I have to worry about is...
1. Making sure I am close enough to be seen as a single unit.
2. How the hell am I ever going to get fast enough in the twisties to pass his ass!
Love ya Grumpy. Come back safe and soon from Germany. Can I borrow your suit???
I guess I'm poor at understanding scholarly tomes...? (I didn't find the article "pretty clear") Perhaps you can give the "Cliffs Notes" version? Do they maintain that conspicuity is good for a one-third reduction in probability of being hit by other road-users? Or, is it "injured"; like you say above? Is it bright clothing and a white or light colored helmet (or, either/or?)? :blink: Thanks (and, thanks for the link)I don't know how you got "didn't make much difference.".......However the article is pretty clear that there is approximately 33% less risk of getting injured if you wear bright clothing and a white or light colored helmet. 33% is significant.
