Does your riding suit (or gear) need to match your bike?

  • Yes, but a piece doesn't match. I'll replace it later.

Does your riding suit (or gear) need to match your bike?

So, is your riding suit (or gear) colored the same as your bike? Was it for any previous bikes? If no options fit, explain.
i've started to make it habit to purchase my gear based on huge discounts because they are colors/color schemes that nobody apparently likes. none of my shit matches. just bought an awesome helmet at over half off because it was a very unpopular color. got some held phantom gloves the same way. if i keep this up, i'll end up with the ugliest fucking gear on the planet and i still won't give a rat's ass...

If you wear neutral colors it doesn't really matter. If you have a bright green suit on a Neon orange bike... Actually, that might look kinda cool. Anyway, if you have black and/or white gear, doesn't really matter imo.
 
Nope, I prefer that it doesn't, I prefer the mix matched style. lol

My old attire was a gunmetal jacket, white and blue gloves, red and white boots and a bright ass red and white helmet, jeans and my bike was purple and grey. :eek:nfloor
 
Yep. Black bike and I color coordinated my gear to match.

Bought a "GIXXXXXXXAH" t-shirt to go with my Oakleys and my black Crocs. Still looking for the right pair of cargo shorts to complete my street riding setup.

:)






Seriously, though. My first bike was red/ black.....first helmet was blue and first jacket was blue/black, lol. I didn't give a fawk. Now I have a few multiple color setups (blue, red, blue/white/red, and idk....tan/red helmets. White/black, blue/black, red/black/white jackets. All my gloves are black, and boots are black with either white trim-A* or red trim-Sidis). Anything goes with a black bike.

i think a blue suit on an orange bike is going to look beautiful this summer.
 
I usually buy neutral looking gear so it doesnt matter what the bikes colors are. For example, my leathers are just black. That goes with just about everything. Although I have a blue helmet n blue bike.
 
Um, black pants, white/grey leather jacket, grey textile jacket, black/yellow mesh, yellow helmet. All of that on an invisible bike. So yeah, I don't match.
 
I never intentionally match my gear to my bikes, but I buy so much gear that some of it is inevitability going to match to some degree, but some of it doesn't match at all. Like, I've got a Triumph branded textile/mesh 2 piece suit that is my current favorite thing to wear, and I ride a Suzuki. Bottom line, I don't really care if it matches or not, as long as it doesn't make my a$$ look fat.

I wore my blue leathers to ride my brother-in-law's orange VTX home from the dealer for him once when he was out to sea. And I had to ride through the heart of Gator country. I never got so many cheers while riding before. :headbang :giggle
 
I bought matching gear for my first bike. When I bought my 2nd & 3rd bikes I wore the same gear I bought earlier. Now, I have gear that's black and matches whatever color bike I choose in the future.
 
i went the opposite way. red bike, blue n white gear.

contrast is good.
my next bike will be orange methinks. still gonna stick with blue gear.
 
Other than my black flip flops that match my silver bike, the rest of my gear is Salvation Army matched.

I could give a rats ass...my favorite gear is my yellow rainsuit, it really compliments my silver, white and orange Arai.....and my eyes....

I match the bikes to my gear . But I don't see an option on the list for that .I have black aplinestar leathers and black dainess textiles sssssoooooo KTM when bought it had an orange tank so I changed it to a black one . Aprilia falco I bought the Black and Bronze one . Honda FMX took a while but eventually found one that was black and not red . Vincent Rapide well umm they are always black bit like Model T ford .
 
Usually I buy plain colored gear so it goes with anything. However, I just bought a kangaroo leather 1pc and I'll be painting the frame red on 10r to match the suit. I have a red rear rim I'm throwing on there too.


I didn't like seeing all black in track photos. Everything just blends together and there's no definition to the photo
