matching your leathers to your bike

so then, what do you think.

matching your leathers to your bike, wearing blue and white GSXR leathers on a GSXR, or Aprilia leather on an Aprilia....................and so on

personally, I change my bike too often and am not brand loyal so changing leathers is not an option.

My leather match my bike, I hope my next leathers will also match my next bike... but not too much.

yeah i agree with mondy, i always go for black kit, that and it looks badass

dont think it matters that much but i saw someone driving a kwaker green zx6r in bright blue and red leathers and did think he looked a little on the fruity side

Go! Go! power rangers!!

There is a time and a place. Yellow lethars are homosexual. As long as you dont wear clashing colours then I dont think it matters.

I bought green leathers and lid to match my ZX7r.

Needless to say, they don't match my Gixer. So that'll be a new set of leathers I've just ordered from Riders then..

Going for black this time. But gonna keep the lime green lid for a while.

personally I think matched leathers and bike do look good;-

I wear a black/ gunmetal grey combiation with matching helmet, gloves and boots.

It matches my black VFR perfectly

and it matched my black/silver/orange thundercat perfectly

and it matched my black kwaka zx400 r

and it matched my black gs 125

hang on a second, I see a pattern emerging here

ok, like mr Ford said " any colour as long as it's black"

Black leathers for me,
I dont care what i look like, I have a red/blue helmet, and that is on a black bike, but use to have a yellow bike.

Sometimes wear a blue and black jacket, or yellow and black, if it fits its for me

Me neither. Who would willingly do that?

I'm slightly amazed at the poll results.

personally I like to be a little bit different, hence riding the Tuono - not exactly a common bike to see on the road, and my Garry Mc Coy replica Arai, they were initially only made in limited numbers.

my leathers and plain black but I had to buy them in a rush because my dog ate the old ones and my bike was my only transport.
