Has anyone seen this vendor. I just put their blinker genie on my bike and they are great. On all the time for visibility, blink for the turn signal and really bright.

Rich,

Sounds great...but any pictures?

I am becoming more and more aware of distracted (texting? iPod?) drivers. I am now a Hi-viz rider- helmet and jacket.

But lights to jolt unconscious drivers back out of their stupor is my next step!

Thanks. John

Here us a pic of the lights. They are just as bright as turn signals as they are as running lights. The device keeps them at full intensity as running lights unlike dual filaments where the running lights are not as bright as the turn signals.

I'm buying another set for the K bike.

If you want them go here to ebay they are 2 bucks cheaper with the free shipping

I also went with the must be seen outfit.

Rich,

Thanks for the first picture. Looks good!

As for the second "Rich- the Hi-viz rider"? Cathy just saw it and said- you two guys are twins!

Very spooky- I have the exact same jacket and helmet.

Hey, NICE CHOICE, if I say so myself!.


Stay visible.......and I'll work on the lights.

John

Guess Hi-viz works, huh? Laughing Laughing Laughing


Actually Rich, now that I study the picture more (thanks to drikko's post Very Happy ), I see that you got the Schuberth C3 modular model. I went for the S2 full face.

Flippin' HARD to get this thing on! I feel like I am shearing my ears off every time. But I understand that FF helmets are supposed to be a tight fit and might relax a bit after some time. Hope my ears are fastened well to get past the break-in stage (Helmet break-in, not ear break-off)

Hey John,

I thought about the S2 but I still like the flip up for some reason. I ended up cutting my hair really short so I had to sell my large C2 which didn't fit anymore and get a medium C3. The C3 fits me great. I must have that odd shaped head that everyone talks about fitting into the schuberth helmets. Like you it is a little snug to get into and I have to tilt my head up a little to get the flip front to go over my chin but once in it fits great and the venting is far superior to my C2. I also picked up a Sena SHM5-FM since I like to listen to NPR on the way into work and it works great.

Also I put a Stebel Nautilus Air horn on the bike just in case I have to get someones attention.

Take care,
