Designed more for bicyclists, Leah Buechley's "Signal Jacket" is her answer for, hopefully, getting noticed by motorists. I spend maybe a few hours a month meditating on the "how to make scooterists MORE visible". I don't know if this is necessarily the answer, but I do tip my hat to Leah for taking the initiative. I've got another friend who has attempted to increase his visual footprint by mounting a bevy of LEDs all over his Piaggio. I'll have to get a recent photo. Last I saw it, it looked like an extra from the Close Encounters of the Third Kind mountain-pass scene. Unfortunately, LEDs are more of a night time assist. We need a way to stop on coming cars from making a left turn in front of you. That's the leading cause of car/2-wheeler wrecks. Ideas? (sorry, we cannot accept "Rocket Launcher" as a suggestion)
