study on gear, visibility wise

Kind of dry reading, but bottom line is that wearing light, bright jacket and helmet helps a lot, as does use of reflective materials in the clothing. Headlight use of course helps. Color of motorcycle had very little effect. |

My riding gears are pretty damn bright and I still have people looking dead at me yet kept on swerving into my lane because they "didn't see" me.

Good for me. I like loud, obnoxious colored helmets
