Reflective Safety Vest

As and Asst Road Captain I wear one when ever the CAV has a ride. I tail gun with the group. It's bright orange and with reflextive strips. If you can't see me with that one you have your eyes closed.

I believe there are some states that require a certain amount of reflective material to be wore on the back of the helmet or rider?? I think Vermont is one of them.

I thought I might throw this in,
I have a computerized vinyl cutter so I made these graphics for my helmet. My riding friends say they show up well at night. Notice only the red stripe is reflective.

I've been considering a Vulcan decal with the red insert reflective. May give it a try.

Ride Safe

Looks great Shep. There's plenty I could do with that machine.

Dan,
It's pretty slick. Cutting is not the problem. Doing the design takes a while, sometimes hours and the weeding is slow. One colors are easy, but its more envolved with multi colors.
In making the helmet graphics, I cut three colors of the same graphic. Red, black and gold. The red was the only one cut in reflective vinyl. I then lifted each color and replaced it, leaving three sets of graphics each one with the red /black/gold in a different position. And of course made lefts and rights. Kinda envolved .
What I lack is imagination. Give me some ideas for M/C graphics

Shep made me helmet decals, and one for my trunk. I got them out of the package room today and put one on my sliver helmet. It looks really good.

Thank you very much Shep, I way appreciate it. I'm looking forward to getting the Trunk painted and getting one on it too.

You were very generous with your time and materials, and I way appreciate it.

I like to wear dark stuff. Two black leather jackets, a black textile jacket and a black leather vest. My helmets are black, black bike, black boots, black gloves. I listen to Black Sabbath and Black Label Society. I drink my coffee black. I'm not the type to wear a fluorescent anything. I even gave up hunting because of the awful orange clothing. I'll take my chances. You guys may outlive me, but when it's my turn, I'll look cool dressed in a black suit.

Seriously, I don't doubt the merits of wearing bright, fluorescent or reflective stuff. It just isn't my cup of tea.
