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.

Never looked into those, they're more affordable than I thought they'd be

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.
