Looking cool isn't anywhere near as good, as being mistaken for a cop by idiot drivers. Gotta love the Hi Viz.

Doesn't work that way in the US. The cop bikers get fucked over. They wear shitty nonprotective boots, shitty non protective cloth pants, and a shitty t-shirt length crappy cloth shirt. Around here they don't even wear full face lids, which is common in the US.

Very true. I know in WA they actually wear 'stich suits though... down here, it's no different than if they were driving save the "stripper" knee high boots, and "wight lifting" gloves.

My mesh gear looks enough like the stuff that the BMW guys have on test. Then there's the fact that we have a huge immigrant population here, who have been train by experience to recognize Hi Viz as being used by police, in their countries of origin.
