Does the gear color match the bike, ie blue with blue, red with red etc. not exactly but base colors.

Does it matter to you?

streetmaster · 06-10-2010, 05:08 AM

Yup,,, I wear all black,, Matches anything!!!

Yep, I like to colour co-ordinate, even have matching dead bugs on my helmet and visor to match those on the fairing and windscreen

All my gear is black/white/gray. I didn't want to color coordinate in case the gear lasts long enough 'til my next bike and I don't get the same color.

I have a bright yellow jacket with a blue bike.
Makes being seen much easier.
I swear there have been a few times people have been backing out of their driveway and have seen me sooner because of the yellow jacket.

Don't have pants yet but my lid matches and so does this kick ass leather I picked up the other day. Got it for half off too!

I just love my blue FZ6R...

Matte black helmet. Black riding pants. Blue jacket with white and black accents/trim. Blue tank bag with black accents/trim. Blue saddle bags with a little black trim. Going to purchase a matching blue tail bag, which has a little black trim. Will look at a new helmet at some point... probably will be blue or black.

Only things that aren't black on my bike/me..: my visor, which is goldish reflective, and my pants, which are usually just dark blue jeans, lol
