That and the bags

look like $1k well spent.
Your insurance company would have to love you for it. :)
Anybody hitting you would have to get their license yanked for for
being blind.

Heh... True as that might be, people get run over by trains all the
time.

After forcing the motor cop off the road by making a right turn from the
left lane the lady pleaded "didn't seeum". Cop replied that if she couldn't
see his full dress Harley with three lights then he was taking her license.
She said that she had indeed seen his Harley but had not seen that he was a
policeman and assumed he was just some kid .....
That's why "conspicuity" works ... for a little while.

Conspicuity is no panacea. Being seen (or being seen earlier) doesn't
offer the rider any guarantee that the other road user will react to
the presence of the motorcyclist at all, let alone in an appropriate
manner. EXPECTING to be seen is dangerous. Replacing a sound street
riding mental strategy with conspicuous clothing or a conspicuous
motorcycle, is just plain stupid. However, INCREASING conspicuity as
a PART of an evolving, flexible, aggressively proactive defensive
street riding mental strategy simply makes sense and can certainly
help a rider reduce risk.
