I think as long as the boots, leathers, gloves match then thats ok. If they match the bike then bonus.

OK...as a girl..i like to match accessories, but am now slightly concerned how much thought you chaps put into your matching leathers..I will view you all a bit differently now..personally don't wear them, don't think they would go on a green and black streetfighter, I'm only interested in whats underneath ..lol!!!

Hey Billi, I hope you only mean you don't wear colours and you do wear leather, even if it's all black.

Ummmm, I might well be worse than most. It doesn't matter what colour they are to start with, i buy leather shoe dye and make them all match whatever colour I want !!!!

If anyone wants their leathers changing colour, let me know !!!

Yeah, tell me about it !! Mind you, he did pick the colours himself, and I did offer to re-do them so they didn't look quite so "lippy" but he refused, so that's his own bleedin fault !!!

Personally, leathers should fit well and offer good protection should you happen to bin it.
Im not too bothered about weather I match or not, my leathers are pretty much black, except for my summer jacket which has some splashes of colour.

my leathers match my track bodywork and have protected me in a silly crash so yes they match but more importantly they work which is why i payout for decent riding gear
