Saw this on my way to north Stafford this week. I originally thought "Condor-man" with the theme music going on in my head. But truth be known - you can't miss them! Good on em':thumbup:

High visibility

Also, high in visibility is the foliage here lately. Took this at a friends house.
That is some beautiful scenery there!!
I like to be inconspicuous.
You mean like this guy?

There's a guy near where I live that rides the identical bike with the same obnoxious yellow helmet. They must convince these guys at the dealership that you can't ride that awesome tweety bird yellow bike without the matching helmet!

Hi-viz does have its drawbacks.

The time or two I've seen yellow helmets "in the flesh," they are really noticeable. I'd definitely get one if I was replacing my current metallic gray one, which is not good on the visibility scale (unless riding in front of a field of blazing yellow poppies).
Beautiful picture,Hi-viz does have its drawbacks.
all you need is the FZ6 stuck in the middle and you have a BOTM winner. I totally agree with you "Draw back" statement.
I wear Hi Vis jacket and trousers all the time now (it gets dark at 18.30 and there is no street lighting). I was riding to work the other evening. When a car that was coming in the opposite direction just pulled right across me. The car was pulling onto a pub forecourt. I was forced to mount the pavement and ride along the forecourt to get out of the way. Fortunately there were no other cars there or I would have been toast. I was so pi55ed off that I went back to the driver to ask them WTF they were doing. It was a young lady, I asked her did you not seem me? No was the answer.
I had become a bit complacent thinking my hi vis gear was doing the business. If a driver wants to see you they will and if there are driving with there eyes shut they wont.
