Hi Tim,
It's not often I bestow praise on anyone or anything, especially when
it
involves me parting with some of my hard earned cash. In this case
however I have to make an exception. I spotted your website on
Wednesday, ordered
Safety Lights on Thursday and received the kit on Friday morning.
Within an hour of the postie handing it to me, I was proudly standing
admiring the
difference in my bikes appearance. I'm no auto spark, but fitting
could
not have been easier, I'm WELL impressed.
As I mentioned in a previous email, I put together a system of my own
which involved many different parts and took several days to fit and
get
working. Even then it did not compare with the functionality or
simplicity
of "Safety Lights". What's more I had to make holes for switches in my
dash, Ouch!!
If you ever need someone to impart the advantages of "Safety Lights",
I'm that man. Indeed, anyone who opts for any other solution is a
damned
fool. These should be fitted to bikes as standard.
Off to play on my bike now :-)
Cheers
Bryan.

Hi, just to let you know I received my parcel containing the "safety
headlights" on Wednesday (6/8/03) and fitted it the same day. I have
been
looking for a solution to the problem of riding with my headlights on
dip
for a while, too bright, and also it looks like you are flashing your
lights, especially if the road surface is less than snooker table
smooth.
I looked at fitting auxiliary driving lights, but having a Triumph
Trophy
1200 it meant designing a mounting bracket and spoiling the looks of
the
bike. Your product has solved my dilemma, I have wired it so that my
main
beam (reduced by 75%) comes on with the sidelights, this is ideal for
me, it
gives off a nice warm light that seems to get you noticed without
"dazzling" other road users (even on dipped headlights during the day,
I
would get flashed at from other drivers). Also you can tell it is
putting
less strain on the alternator by switching to "normal lights" and
watching
your RPM drop slightly.
Thanks for a great product, why it isn't fitted as standard to
motorcycles
is a mystery.
Sincerely
James O.

Dear Sirs,
Received my new Fluorescent over-jacket from you two days ago and have
been using it since. Thanks very much. It's good quality, fits
perfectly and really gets me noticed on the road. For all I know it
may already of saved my life!
Cheers

Received goods
on 14/01/04, My husband has tried the large and it fits just right.
As it goes over the top of his winter jacket, no need to worry about
xlarge.
My husband is a member of the Royal Navy Motorcycle Club and was
wondering if you had any advertising flyers that he can put at the
club as poeple are asking about your products as safe riding is one
of the club big issues.
Many thanks for an excellent service.

Dear Tim,
Thanks for the
brilliant quality waistcoat. Are expecting to get any more of the
blue and yellow style? I will certainly promote this amongst my
biking friends and give them your details. I'll also purchase one
for my son who is possibly getting a bike soon...

Tim,
I saw your ad
in Slipstream, the TVAM monthly magazine and thought it a very good
idea. I have a number of reflective stripes on my bike, but apart
from the piping on my jacket, not much on me. So a reflective band
on my helmet will improve my visibility at night considerably.
Regards,
Ken

Hi Tim,
Pictures of the bike with the
reflective stuff bought from you, attached as i promised.
Feel free to use them, would
appreciate you blanking registrations out, to protect the
innocent, and lose my address for security reasons.
They work great, everyone thinks
twice before cutting me up, funny that, and as I do Look Lean Roll
people have been asking me about them, so hopefully you might get
some other business.
Do I get mentioned on the website!
or TVAM?

Thanks,

Hi Tim,
I can't thank you enough for your
generosity,,, You are truly a business worth dealing with likes
of which I have never experienced anything like before.
I will be telling everyone about
how great it is to do business with you,and I look forward to
receiving my Hi-Vis tapes, I will send you pictures of the bike
once I have worked out a design to apply the tapes to the bike.
Thanks for everything,
Duncan F.
PS I have sent
some pics of what my bike looked like with the old hi-vis markings
from some of the tape bought from you previously.

Hi All,
just wanted to drop you all a
line after reading and seeing the various letters and articles
relating to "Bike Visibility" and Safety and I decided it was
time I made myself more visible on the road. I just wanted to
let you all know that I recieved in the post last friday one on
the new "Hi Vis Blousons" from the following web site:
http://www.bikeseen.com/ for
those of you who have not had a look at this site I would like
to reccomend that when you get time to take a few minutes and
have a look as there might be something there that just might
save your life. The Jackets are a very good quality and arrived
promptly once ordered and I have to say that I was worried about
it fitting me once I had my normal bike jacket on but its
excellent and more than worth the £25. There is also various
other items there which might just help to get you noticed. So
if you have a minute have a look, I am not recieving anything
for sending this mail out apart from the satisfaction that it
might just keep my fellow bikers and good friends alive. P.s I
have also ordered the rear reflective markings made specifically
for the pan from the same site after seeing them fitted to Ken
Lakers bike and to Douglas's machine as well.
Two installations spotted !!!

Hi Tim,
just a short note to say a big
"Thank You" to you for your help and for making sure the items I
had ordered arrived promptly. The Hi Vis Blouson is excellent and
I now always ride with it on, it fits really well over my existing
motorcycle jacket and the quality is excellent. I would recommend
this item to anyone who wants to make sure they are highly visible
whilst riding. Also whilst I am writing to you I would like to say
that the Hazard Flashes for my Pan European are also very good and
will aid my visibility greatly. Once again thanks for everything
and I will be using your site again thats for sure.
Kind Regards.
Dave

Hi Tim,
Just thought I would send you a
photo of my efforts at putting on the new markings for the bike. I
dont think I have made too bad a job of it and I followed your
instructions to the letter. Not bad for someone who has
disabilities in both hands !!! I think they look good and hope
they will make sure I stand out from the crowd, I also hope I got
them the right way round?
Talk to you soon..
Regards
Dave

Hi Tim,
Just a brief note to thank you for the jacket and tape. Not only
is the tape super reflective, it smells lovely - jacket also fits
a treat.
Superb service.

Years ago when riding in England, I noticed
super-bright yellow reflective tape and had a friend there in the
trucking industry send me some. (if you've ever followed me at
night, you know....) Except for small snippets found in bicycle
shops, I haven't been able to
find it in the U.S., apparently because sales are
restricted to safety agencies, but a good Web site in the U.K.
which may get some from time to time is
www.bikeseen.com.
The owner, Tim Smithson, is a good man to work with and charge
cards and Paypal work very well for shipments to the U.S., which
take about 10 days by ordinary mail.
The good stuff, best used on flat or
near-flat surfaces, is called 3M Diamond Grade reflective and is
available from many Web sites in red and white. BikeSeen also has
Diamond Grade in orange and ordinary reflective vinyl in
most colors, including the good one, known as "lime yellow" (check
out any new school caution sign--greenish yellow in daylight and
bright yellow at night) They also offer reflective overjackets
that look pretty good, if you ride a lot at night in traffic.

Hi Tim,
We have been away for a few days, the jackets were at our local
Post Office and we collected them today.
They are perfect, thank you, I will send a personal cheque today
to save any delay in getting one from my treasurer.
Thank you for your help with these jackets, I'm sorry it was a
long process but we got there in the end!
Kind regards,
Terry.

arrived and in perfect condition. Till next time. Regards, Luciano

I received my jacket in the mail
this past week and I really like the product. I wore it this past
weekend for the first time and I had several motorists tell me at stop
lights that they could see from far off and liked it because they
could really see me, that I didn't blend in with the background.
thank you.
Sincerely,
Matthew (USA)

Hi Tim,
I meant to write earlier and let you know... the hazard chevrons
arrived safely and look great on the bike.
They certainly improve the visibility of me + bike on these dark
mornings and evenings.
Great product and I'm very pleased with them.
Thanks!
Ivan.
# 9th November 2005
Tim,
Just a quick mail to
say how good the jacket is, great design, easily fits over my
existing jacket, and very visible. Also a great price for a jacket
that improves peoples awareness of me on the road.
If I was to have any
gripe about it, or perhaps a suggestion for improvement it would
be to have zips at the cuffs, so that it is easier to fit gloves
under it.
Thanks again for a
great product,
Ian

Tim, I recently received the bag
and I very much like it. I think it's a unique product that a
motorcycle enthusiast can not find here in the United States.
# 10th December 2005
Tim - further to my
call, I've changed my mind! Took your advice on the collar and
tried the Blouson again and it seems fine. I thought it was a bit
tight at first, but actually the large would be too bulky. So
I'll stick with this thanks! That way I get visibility and extra
waterproofing - satisfied customer! Thanks for your advice.
Regards,
Geoff.
# 7th August 2007
