Right I read an article in a mag a few weeks ago about matching leathers and bikes. I wanted to guage what everyone thought about this and who has matching ones.

I will start, this is my helmet,



these are my leathers,


Although I don't look that good in them.

and this is my bike.



As you can see my helmet and leathers kind of match, but they don't really match with the bike. So what have you all got?

I recently went on an R6 forum (I'm sorry ) and they all had matching leathers, I giggled.

OI what you doin with a pic of my missus? :smt013

Not much of my stuff matches anymore. I genraly just buy what ever i can get cheapist at the time that somthing else wears out/Brakes.

my lid-



alpinestar leathers (cant find a pic but there blue). Just got some new gloves as my old ones gave way...



so i got these (same just newer style) but for £75 there alot better than all the others and alot nicer to wear than the £150 alpinestar stuff!



and black sidi vertigo boots



All my gear has changed at least 3 times apart from the leathers there the only thing to servie my numberus crashes and whinter abuse!

Ohhh, ohh I have the same boots as that!!!

ohh just thought, my off road stuff

lid


Oakley MX XS O FRAME goggles


then my old ped jacket (red) and some ramdom gloves i found for a £5 at a bike show

edi- for got my boots

mines all black, new lid as per other post, black leathers/boots gloves. easy getaway in the dark

Talking of boots does anyone here ride with their jeans tucked in their boots.

This is priceless.

off road i normaly tuck my jeans in yeah, just to stop the botom of my jeans getting quite so muddy

Yeah I agree with leather inside boots, but riding on the road with jeans tucked in your boots, its special.

dont know i guess the very rare times i do ride in jeans i still tuck them in, 1 stop them flaping about and 2 stop the cold going up my leg!

maybe im speical then

Ah im all in black head to toe, it works well

Its ok we are all special in our own unique way

Ditto.

What do you tink of your RST leathers, mines a 2 piece and it took a bit of time to break in (I had to ride HARD) but now they are really comfy.

The main reason I bought them is they are brilliant value, and a British company.

from the 3 people i've seen crash in them id never buy a set, lets just say they didnt perform to well...
