People who don't care what they ride?

Only faggots cry about another persons choice of daily bike.... cruisers are still gay though. Wink

Try offroading on a 125 dirtbike

Then try it again on a GS

That's why.

Same goes for cities, i'd rather be on a 125 than a heavy, cumbersome tourer in London traffic anyday.

Here's the 'Impulse' jacket with led brake light and indicator repeaters.
Its battery powered and picks up signals from radio transmitters in
modified bulbs in the standard sockets.

Riding a 125 on a full license gay?

Just cos I had lots of fun riding my lads 125 bikes and scoots with dirty greatL plates flapping in the wind,
you got no call to suggest I like me groceries delivered round the back.

How very dare you !



Ride what you want and bollocks to what anybody
else thinks or says

The demo video looks good. Very little lag between the bike light illuminating and the LED lights on the jacket illuminating. (It would annoy me big time if the indicator flashes were out of sync).

Website is shit to navigate and lacks important details though (what reputable company has a GMail address?), appears very overpriced at the moment.

Something for the future, maybe.

I like pointless gadgetry as much as the next pointless gadget nerd, but even I'd baulk at wearing or paying for that.

Methinks someone's been watching too much of this... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kn4SUk6p1fg

...and it needs tassels, lots of tassels.

Stupid idea which will be lapped up by people who ride like a rolling road-block and think that the only way to stay safe is make sure they are the object of attention of every motorist around them rather than have to think about what they are doing themselves.

Anyone who considers wearing one needs a HID ballast shoved up their arse and wired to 3 phase permanently.

But think of the potential of a wearable led matrix !
make money as you ride 'Eat at Joes' etc
or the increased safety as subliminal messages
flashed for a few milliseconds like 'Careful now' / 'kittens'
the jackets could come in a range of attractive colours too.....
