Looks neat - two problems:

1) The rear image needs to be up higher on the vest or keep the biker flasher there and put some flashing REDS by the shoulders.

2) His bike didn't have an engine.

The vest you really need for safety would be a flack jacket to absorb those rocks and sticks when you fall or get hit by a car. Like the bull riders or quarter backs in the nfl wear. Blaze orange of course

Not a bad idea - I need a crotch protector for fuel spillage.......I suppose a flame would take care of both problems....

Sounds like try outs for jackass. Who wants their private parts set on fire?
Then get slamed into the bushes to test out the flack jacket.

I have a friend who has a wind powered helmet light. It works great, it has 8 bright flashing Led light's.
My friend said he got his from WhitehorseGear.com for $30.00
