- BurningPenguin 4y agoI wonder if that's also true for scooter and motorcycles. I'm thinking about getting one of those, but ideally in some bright and highly visible color.
- ehnto 4y agoI imagine so, but I think you get more mileage from reflective high vis clothing. Make sure you get to an MSF course, they teach you about lane positioning for visibility and defensive riding techniques. Some assume this means riding like Tom Cruise, but most saftey occurs by never being in an incident at all.
- BurningPenguin 4y agoGood idea. If i go for a 125cc machine, i have to get some driving lessons anyway. Those are mandatory in my country.
