A match made in heaven.

Post by mycallsevern »

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,

Image

these are my leathers,

Image
Although I don't look that good in them.

and this is my bike.
Image


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 :smt009 ) and they all had matching leathers, I giggled.

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

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.
