congrats. so u going full yellow gear or mix and match?

I already bought a pair of black gloves, and a black white and grey,(yellow writing)jacket. so i think my helmet might end up being yellow, i looked through some catalogs and there just wasn't really one that caught my eye. anybody got any ideas?

Something multi-color with yellow, (like Valentino Rossi's). Just make sure you get the right fit. (High visibility helmets are safer.)

i'm gonna pick up a scorpion 400 matte black. And then get it custom painted like the, vx14 spitfire -the skulls.

im a fan of ebay. you get a great selection on last gen gear ultra cheap

Yes, but perhaps a bright yellow vehicle would have alerted him! Size doesn't mean much, it's the brightness of the colors. Why give the morons an edge by riding with a hard-to-see color?

I'm willing to bet most black bike owners haven't seen the photo from the MSF course that shows different colored bikes next to each other on a dark street.

Anyway, I choose yellow at first, but the whole gear issue will be a pain. Know how hard it is to find yellow gear? That is on sale? Maybe that's why so many riders wear black! It's cheapest!
