Riding a motorcycle can be an enjoyable and rewarding experience for anyone who loves the outdoors and the freedom that is experienced while on a ride, but the typical rider isn't always concerned about how their appearance affects the likelihood of being noticed by others that are sharing the same roadways. This can be a potential hazard if the others sharing the same roadways cannot see you very well.
There are a number of ways that you can avoid not being noticed by other motorcyclists while out on the open road. One way that you can avoid any issues is by making sure that your bike has the proper lighting. The minimal lighting, which most stock motorcycles are equipped with, may not necessarily be enough so you may want to consider adding more headlights if you haven't already. This is particularly true in the daylight when your visibility to others is at its lowest level. More lighting will help to make you more noticeable to others.
Another step you can take to make sure you are visible to others while on your motorcycle is to always wear reflective clothing, not only reflective, but perhaps maybe even some articles of clothing which are brightly colored and easy to see. Colors such as bright orange, red, and green are all very easy to see so if you can incorporate them into your biker wardrobe, then you would become more visible to others that may be sharing the same roadways as you.
Since your helmet is typically the piece of apparel that other drivers are able to see easily, then it would make sense to have some sort of bright coloring incorporated into the design of that helmet. You could also add accessories to your helmet that are brightly colored if the actual color of the helmet is not changeable. Helmet Mohawks are a great accessory that you can add to helmet because they are colorful and can help you stand out.
Before heading out on your next trip, make sure that you are taking the necessary steps to ensure your own safety. Take a step back and ask yourself if you could be easily noticed by others on the road. If you answer no to that question, then you may want to consider using some of the tips mentioned above.
