Guest RevToTheRedline Posted July 4, 2006 Share Posted July 4, 2006 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Veefer800Canuck Posted July 4, 2006 Share Posted July 4, 2006 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. <_< Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Contributer ccnaylor Posted July 4, 2006 Member Contributer Share Posted July 4, 2006 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?)

But what gear matches a white bike?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.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon28 Posted July 4, 2006 Share Posted July 4, 2006 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
