Don't Be Fooled! Looking at you DOES NOT mean they SEE you!

Maybe members didn't read the driving vision article I linked to. Clearly explains why we don't "see" what should be obvious. It's like the difference between hearing and listening.

But your honor, he was in my saccade and therefore I couldn't see him. Sorry, guilty as charged! Bailiff, take the defendant into custody.

I ride with the mentality that everyone is out to run me over. This is why I always wear full gear, from my helmet to proper riding boots and a jacket with armor as well as proper gloves - even in the heat of summer. I also choose gear colors that are "loud", such as high-vis yellow on my jackets/ helmet and gloves when I can. I choose bright colors for my motorcycles to help with being noticed. (It doesn't hurt that I also like the color)

I will never own all black gear or an all black motorcycle. I will also add lighting to my bikes and brake flashers to help me be seen.

Just my two cents worth. :cheers:

To me, riding in a crowded metropolis like LA is just asking for trouble.

Thank goodness the area I ride in isn't like that at all .... yet.

I always assume all other vehicles are piloted by this guy.

Ride like you're invisible, and everyone is trying to kill you. Been living it for years.
