I too have been an infrequent visitor here since I sold my CB and like DAC, am sorry I missed this. Continued best wishes for a complete recovery, CB4ME.
I'm a believer in the Hi-Viz gear and have a yellow as well as a red jacket. I feel cagers notice me better when wearing those. I still bought a "cool looking" brown riding jacket which is better suited to fitting in when you're off the bike at your destination and just walking around. BUT, I did buy a hi-viz yellow vest for when I'm on the bike. I drew the line at a hi-viz helmet but bought a bright white one, which I feel gets you noticed better than a black one.
I agree 100% with ferret. Sometimes, they're just so zoned out they wouldn't notice a dump truck approaching. Drivers are in a rush, eating breakfast, shaving, applying makeup, on legal meds, on illegal drugs, drunk, tired, or just thinking about how they hate their- fill in the blank ____ boss, spouse, job, life.
