Motorcycle rider protection and stuff

Well, i am getting a street bike tomorrow morning unless I die in a car accident en route or on the way home.

I am looking into high-vis jacket and helmet plus a bit of reflective decal crap too. I am thinking a reflective American flag on my helmet and some other small but bright decals on my shocks.

Not too interested in hearing that helmets are stupid or that all black is cool when the apocalypse hits because I already know that but unfortunately there are millions of idiots on the highway that love being behind the wheel while simultaneously doing zero actual driving.

I'm loading up on modulated headlights and bright turn signals.

What is everyone wearing and doing for physical and visibility protection?

Thank you.

I wear a full-face KBC lid...it's a $140 helmet I got last year for $45 because it was on closeout from Revzilla. That does you no good, since it was disco'd in 2012. Revzilla, Motorcycle Superstore, leatherup.com, and Competition Accessories are always having helmet sales. You can get a good one for about $100. I am considering a modular lid...figure about $175-200 for one of those. (Though Revzilla has the AFX FX-140 on sale for $115, and it even has an integrated sunshade.)

My jacket is a mesh Teknic from Revzilla. It's OK. They have this one on sale, and it is much more visible than mine. Note: avoid ANY black on the jacket! Mine is black & neon yellow, and it is HOT in the sun!

Pants are Shadow Scorcher 2's, just got them, little input.

I have a 2012 Suzuki AN400 Burgman...what's your ride? :glasses7:

Also, from a dude I work with who rides an old dual-sport: before kick-starting one's bike, pull in the clutch. Before releasing said clutch...regardless of the bloody light being on, make sure the bike is ACTUALLY in neutral! Otherwise, you may have three guys laughing at you as you extract your bike from the landscaping.
