I have owned a few bikes before but after I was in a hit and run in 2016 I decided the risk wasn't worth it. I owned two bikes after the hit and run but I didn't enjoy it in the same way.
3 years later from when I sold my last bike, I bought my first new vehicle ever, a 2023 KLRs.
Stay safe, you can't live your life scared but always be cautious. Super excited for all the adventures ahead.
The ones made by Helite also have user replaceable CO2 cartridges, so you can easily (takes 5 minutes) reset the vest if it isn't damaged. After 5 inflations they say to return it to them to have it checked properly.
