It's not a pith helmet -- it's a World War I - style infantry helmet. It might not do much for you in a bike crash, but it will protect you from small-arms fire -- which can be useful against some expressions of road rage. > > Bottom line - any clue you can give other drivers is better than none; I > wouldn't agonize > over the merits of either one.

Actually, I think a glance over the shoulder -- left or right -- might be the best turn signal available to biker. So it's probably a good idea to turn your head before making the turn, even if you have a rear-view mirror. Of course, all this discussion of signals assumes the driver is actually looking at you. _______________________________________________ Bikies mailing list [email protected] http://lists.danenet.org/listinfo.cgi/bikies-danenet.org
