I have read about a pretty freak accident on another motorcycle forum and it made me think about visibility. It concerned a car pulling into a parking space and not seeing the motorcycle that was already parked there. The rider had just put his helmet on and was proceeding to push the bike off the center stand. He was hurt and lucky he was not killed. It made me think about our 2014 CB's. Blacked out, even the wheels. If the rider wears dark gear, especially his helmet I'd guess he would not stand out very much. Especially in low light conditions. Something to think about. His 28,000 dollar motorcycle was a total loss. Those neon green helmets and jackets might be worth considering.
