do your leathers (or textiles) match your bike? or do you have random color assortments, or do you just wear black?

[GMAN226]

Black is good because you can buy new bikes and not look like rainbow bright...

Black is hot, even if it is perforated. I use my bikes color but I'd ride with any colored suit on any bike. Matching not necessary for me.

[bemused]

went w/ just black for a long time (current leathers are black), but started getting into some yellow on my textiles for higher visibility... sorta matches my bike, but that's coincidence...

[Gangsta SV]

use to color match but now it all random . .

[GuntherRC51]

Does matching 50% of my bikes count? I only need to have true poser value on my street bike hehe.

heh - I match completely.

Bike: blue SV, silver frame, black wheels
Leather: blue, black and white Mossi Jacket
Textile: blue, black, and silver Joe Rocket Jacket
Gloves: black and silver (titanium) Icon TiMax Gloves
Helmet: blue, black, and white Icon Aggressor

I've had every style except for matching, until I got the blue ZX-12. Now I have two jackets that match the bike. I go for the ambiguous colors...black, white, grey...they seem to go well with almost anything.

yeah - i had you figured for an "ambiguous" kind of guy.

My sig. pic., in conjunction with my avatar, says it all...

I'm all for as bright and full of BLING as possible... if it makes just one cager turn their head to gawk at you, it's worth it...

I like matching more or less. My new bike is silver with a lot blacked-out. I got a new helmet to match, but decided to keep my jacket that has red on it for visibility reasons. I don't mind having colors that go along with the bike (not necessarily the same as), but would have a problem clashing with the bike.

Tell me if I'm alone here or not, but do ever notice your own reflection in the windows of buildings and say to yourself "damn - me and this bike look good!"?

A large portion of my textiles are black, but I get concerned about visibility. Bikes seem to be invisible sometimes, so dressing to be seen helps. I don't have any leather right now, but am considering it because my cortech is getting a little ragged from years of use. I will probably stick with something that has red on it.

I've got both.. black leather and full suit then I also have matching blue jackets depending on my mood.... prefer the black suit then go with the funky helmet so ya get the best of both worlds... LOL

ya forgot to tell him about the scuba suit!

[stoinkythepig]

I wear florescent gray. You can see me in one of my gallery shots.

The bike makes me look fat, not the pasta, definitely, not the pasta.

Mmmm, fluorescent gray pasta..

Pretty much all black. Jacket has white stripes with name of bike manufacturer written in bold which I thought was kinda gay, but at half price for a quality Dainese leather I can overlook that...Got a plain ol' white helmet too 'cause I thought a black one would be too hot. Dunno, I'll probably spice up the colors on a second helmet someday.

Yeah, black IS hot in the Summer, it just means I gotta stay riding to keep cool

I'm looking now at the mesh jackets for those really hot days.

[snaggle]

I bought my jacket and suit to match my current bike. However I don't really care what I look like when I get different bike!

[PinHead]

My new stuff matches the bike and I look like a fucking Power Ranger The chrome knuckles on the Violators and chrome Prexport accross the backs of my boots give it that little extra *Bling* when worn with all of the other yellow stuff
