V is right RD, the colors are a nice treat. Even saying so it's a contradiction of what I did many years ago.
My helmet was a Honda Formula one design crash helmet and it was all black, like a robot. No shining parts and a dark visor.
At night, if I was going for a bike ride I always wore my big black boots, my leather pants and jacket (tight, bike style, full of zippers), black long gloves and my black helmet.
Sometimes it's best to just be invisible. And if you are a girl on the street those late hours, it's even better.
My bike was a Blue Honda CB 500 - not much, I did not have much money to put in a bike since I needed a car as well. But my mechanic transformed my bike into a heavy duty dirt bike because I did a lot of highway to go to work.
I also had a tall visor because highway debris. Like what the police have in their bikes. The bike was short enough for me to manage my way among and between cars. In Brasil, there is no bike space as we have in USA. There you need to ride a bike in between all cars and trucks, highway or not.
So, with a short and heavy bike I could manage to use my knees and legs and don't fall.
S17 is wanting a bike, I fear...but in the same time I feel I can't just take his time away. We will be looking into that once I get out of my mess.
And remember, I was not too crazy all the time because I never hold a license to ride a bike. So, always on the police good side. Oh well, almost always.
Love to you my lovely RD, miss chatting, dreaming. Pink
