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.

EVERYTHING goes well with white.

Zip it up and ride...

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. dry.gif

I just realized I put this thread in the wrong section, oops

Black Black Black

Black everything, helmet with mirror face shield.

You'll scare old ladies and attract young ones... goofy.gif

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

It doesn't go with anything, so it goes with everything by default! blink.gif

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

Mostly though, your other riding buddies will call you the "British EMS" dry.gif

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 biggrin.gif

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!! fing02.gif

Go Mr Clean, White on White! beer.gif

LOL goofy.gif 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! comp13.gif

some of these postings are really getting stupid!

some example replies:
