What Gear For Pearl White?

I'm stumped right here, do I use my old CBR gear which consists of a Honda licenced red/black textile jacket from FairChild Sports and a red/black/white HJC full face helmet... Just doesn't seem like that would go well with the pearl white VFR. Should I buy new gear that matches the bike better? But what gear matches a white bike?

I was thinking maybe the Joe Rocket white textile jacket with red Honda wing. Shoot I dunno.

Can't go wrong with basic black.

I'd hate to have white riding gear. Just think of how bad it'll look with all the bug gutz on it. <_<

just makes for more war stories. My mostly white leathers look awesome...LOL :P

Aerostich roadcrafter in hi-viz lime yellow of course? linky linky2

It doesn't go with anything, so it goes with everything by default! :beer:

Everyone looks at you with fear/respect (Is he the authority?)

Mostly though, your other riding buddies will call you the "British EMS" <_<

I was thinking blah blah blah....

buy whatever gives you the maximum protection for what you can afford, then, as an afterthought, match up the colors. Why buy 6 joe rocket jackets over the years in various branded crap when you can buy one vanson that'll last you 15 years and call it a day?

Besides, vanson goes with everything. (and dainese, spidi, aerostitch, etc.)

IMHO: I could careless if I match or not. I have a red VFR and have a yellow jacket and gloves, with a yellow and red helmet. Why? Visability......I would have bought lime green if it was available. I would wear what u got.

Yep, my riding buddies say that I scare oncoming cars and confuse the LEOs with my hi-viz lime yellow jacket and a black bike. They all think I'm -some- authority... mostly just an authority in BS :D

Form follows function...Form follows function...Form follows function...Form follows function...

If what you've got keeps you safe, save your $$ and wear that. Use your $$ to buy fun upgrades for your bike!! :thumbsup:

You can't go wrong with neutral colors cause they work with any color bike :beer:

LOL :beer: I just have a darien light and pants, and if I ever do get a roadcrafter, I dunno what color I'd get it in... Too many options! :joystick:
