This is obviously a very hot topic.

I just wondered, with the proliferation of white LED’s in every facet of lighting, WHY ARE MOTORCYCLES NOT DECKED OUT IN LOTS OF WHITE LED’s???

I see them in torches, bicycle safety lights, car sidelights, brake lights, signage etc etc.

White LED’s would make bikes visible from all angles.
Might look dumb but it would save lives!!

…I think white lights would have to be forward-facing only. There area a lot of options for LED running lights and turn signals already though. I added a set of 6″ LED trips front and rear to my bike soon after I got it. Though not strictly legal, they add a measure of visibility. Next is to add some running lights, as side visibility at night is almost non-existent.

Or make a reflective skeleton pattern

A friend has a leather riding suit with skeleton pattern. It is freakin’ cool. Not sure if it is reflective, or not…
