Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue. A workaround that has been used by some is to navigate back from 1 to 10+ pages to re-sync the thread and this will then show the latest posts. Thanks, Mike.

    Two hours home in the wet. Left at five so still daylight. Still a good few close passes and usual craziness. May not be super hot doing it in pitch black.
    I found when I wore a full reflective jacket (on those roads) there were a lot less close passes, compared to when I used only lights.
    Interesting that. I was gonna say to use decent (dynamo) lights and you'll look more like a motorbike in the dark and might get better behaviour in consequence.

    Not to totally derail the thread, but has anyone ever seen a mix reflective/fluorescent versions of the above jacket? Whenever I see anyone at twilight, the reflective jackets seem to blend in lots.
    I saw one this morning on the commute. The back was full reflective/grey while shoulders and arms were yellow hi-vis. The hi-vis portion across the shoulders was not that visible because the rider's posture made it almost horizontal.

    from my limited exposure to them, i think they work better on country roads, where motorists are more likely to be driving with full beams on?
    which probably suits HarryBelafonte's purposes anyway.

    Yes, but a lot of that reflective material will be covered by the bag I've to wear. So at least the sleeves will work.

    Though, and I'm loath to say this, I think all the close passes I had the last time were by drivers who were well aware of my presence.
