the hat is called a “skimmer”
Now that’s funny. Hootus. LOL
It shines other places, too. ;-)
Of course, if you live in an area that has fog problems, silver is the exact polar opposite of the color you want, while this article says it is better.
Even bright isn’t always a safe bet on its own.
My car is a metallic red. I still had people turning in front of me as if they didn’t see me coming. Once I got daytime running lights, that happened far less often.
Those DRLs cost me $75 to install the module, but my insurance company gave me $10 a year in discount, so they’ve paid for themselves. And after 10 years, I’m still on just my second battery, and only replaced headlights this year because I thought they were getting too dim. So no extra wear-and-tear, either...
Hadn't been washed in a while? 8-)
Wouldn’t it just be cheaper to pay the occasional speeding ticket?
Your post about naming red paint colors made me laugh.
When our family moved into our new (VERY OLD) house more than thirty years ago, we were shocked to see the dining room painted red. REALLY red. My parents vowed to change the color ASAP, but as time went on, we grew used to it, and as more time went on, we became attached to it.
So, come paintin’ time, Mom went over to Martin’s Home Decorating Center (”We Ain’t Just Paint!”) with a small paint chip she chipped off the wall. Turns out they had an exact match. The name of the paint? “Imperial Blood.”
And thus it has remained ever since.

Tiburon is shark - at least, that’s what my neighbors say.
Well, Imperial Blood. does sound better than Commoners Blood.
Lasers wouldn't pick it up...so GP switched to transponders. Now all national / world level bikes use transponders.
My Acura is called Midnight Blue. It’s basically black with blue flakes in it. It looks great when it’s waxed.
