Matching colour leather jacket to bike .

Is that still ok or is now frowned on like matching his and her leathers and helmet . ???? Someone gave me a jacket but its exactly the same 3 colours as one of my bikes .Black ,red and white . I dont want to cause an accident by people laughing at the wanker on the colour matched bike .

isn't the latest fashion just what was around 20 years ago ?
go on Gus, be a trend setter, or , as the young'ens say these days, a "Trend Influencer"

Exactly ,20 years ago ,and it wasnt a good look then .

Unless it is a black bike and black leathers and black helmets, NO!!

So this is ok then ?

I like it
Survivor bike and Survivor jacket !!
It's the 80's to a tee.

Only if your helmet matches as well 

The 80's are 'in' at the moment so go for it!  Wet look perms, mullets and padded shoulder pads are only around the corner....

A MULLET WIG !!

Oh dear ................................

Talk about timing, I've been thinking about updating my avatar . . .  .

Personally, for the older bikes and styles, no issue for mine, it's the classic look. When it's a newer bike and leathers - um, no thanks.

This sort of thinking might be a bit age discriminatory, but I'm not making the statement in public or anything. 

I think its sorted . Looks like bike is sold .
