|  Reflective clothing could save your life
well my day job can be kind morbid(sp) but over the past week i have handled 2 fatal MVA's involving motorcycles. the first one was a crotch rocket in traffic and excessive speed and lack of skill did him in. for that all I can say is slow down boys and girls. the second on was last night DOA at the scene. 2 brothers were out for there evening ride on sport bikes unknown if it had anything to do with the fall but they were riding on a dimly lit rode when one of them lost control and fell. he was being followed by a van. the driver said once he fell i could not see him. he was wearing black leather. I thought he was with the bike and turned to avoid the bike and ran him over he was trapped under the van unfortunaley he did not make it to many injuries. this may have been able to have been avoided if he had some reflective clothing. Another relatively inexpensive safety device. Ride smart People!!!!
