Gimp suits: hot or not?

[Livvy]

In another thread the question was raised:

Gimp suits - full, one piece leather riding gear. Sometimes scary to non bikers, but what do other bikers think of them in an aesthetic way?

Personally, I think gimp suits only look good when you're on a bike, and only on one that can go fast... Whilst a gimp suit on a scooter is probably a great idea, it just looks wrong to me.

So what's your opinion?

[Steam]

What the heck's a gimp suit for a biker?

[Livvy]

Lol. Sorry. Slang. Full one piece biking leathers.

[Steam]

Oh, that.

In my opinion they look extremely goddamn cool until the rider walks about 12 feet away from his bike, then they suddenly become ridiculous.

Togs togs togs UNDIES!

[Edbear]

You don't have an option for..."I'm a guy but ride a cruiser and my body shape would make me look like a blimp in one!":yes:

[Livvy]

I'm ever so sorry... :bleh:

[MIXONE]

Nope I think that just like speedo's or a bikini only posers wear them when they are not at the track or beach.

[Str8 Jacket]

It depends who is in the gimp suit really!

[Disco Dan]

...now i've been told my arse is pretty nice when i'm wearing draggin jeans...

wore some handmade leather pants once... errmm.. well lets just say the pillion seat got cold that night.

[Storm]

Not a fan unless its on a ractrack. Otherwise, they are a bastard to get in and out of, and can make you look like a racer wannabe tryhard

[owner]

Of course they look lame and stupid, but I ride fast on the road so..... nothing else would do the job
girls in leather ....oh yeah

[PrincessBandit]

...
girls in leather ....oh yeah

I'm thinking Angelina Jolie here...i'm sure she'd somehow manage to make one piece leather riding gear look hot!

[smoky]

Gimp suit ?? never heard it called that before, it all depends if you've got a fat guts or not - not good look if your round in the middle.

[McJim]

What's a gimp suit ??

Strictly speaking a Gimp suit is one of them black rubber thingumybobs as worn by 'The Gimp' in Pulp Fiction. However I suspect one of the Jeans and leather jacket brigade might be having a go at us fellas that wear full leathers on the bike......i.e. I think they may be referring to one piece leathers in this case...

[Hitcher]

It's not the suit, it's the stuffing.

[Weaver]

When I voted I assumed you were talking about zip across the mouth and leash round the neck type gimp suit.
Unless your on a late model sports bike you look like a poser. Also your sliders need to have seen some action.

[FROSTY]

who cares if they look good or not. its when ya hit the tarmac that it counts.

Right Said Fred

I'm Too Sexy Lyrics


I'm Too Sexy
Right Said Fred

I'm too sexy for my love too sexy for my love
Love's going to leave me

I'm too sexy for my shirt too sexy for my shirt
So sexy it hurts
And I'm too sexy for Milan too sexy for Milan
New York and Japan

And I'm too sexy for your party
Too sexy for your party
No way I'm disco dancing

I'm a model you know what I mean
And I do my little turn on the catwalk
Yeah on the catwalk on the catwalk yeah
I do my little turn on the catwalk

I'm too sexy for my car too sexy for my car
Too sexy by far
And I'm too sexy for my hat
Too sexy for my hat what do you think about that

I'm a model you know what I mean
And I do my little turn on the catwalk
Yeah on the catwalk on the catwalk yeah
I shake my little touche on the catwalk

I'm too sexy for my too sexy for my too sexy for my

'Cos I'm a model you know what I mean
And I do my little turn on the catwalk
Yeah on the catwalk on the catwalk yeah
I shake my little touche on the catwalk

I'm too sexy for my cat too sexy for my cat
Poor pussy poor pussy cat
I'm too sexy for my love too sexy for my love
Love's going to leave me

And I'm too sexy for this song

[Toaster]

...now i've been told my arse is pretty nice when i'm wearing draggin jeans...

You been talking to the Trannies on K-Road again Disco?

[Toaster]

The suits "suit" the track.

[crash harry]

Absolutely hot on girls.

Women's cut leathers accentuate the female form in a way that is most pleasing to the eye. And it also lets you know that they are a sport biker - which is sexy in itself.

[MIXONE]

You been talking to the Trannies on K-Road again Disco?

Those whores will say anything to earn a $:yeah:





One even told me I had a big dick.:slap:

[Meekey_Mouse]

They are a lil harder to get in and out of... But what if you are a racer and it's the only thing you've got for the road :mellow:

I only have a one piece, although it has seen the tarmac several times as I raced last season and the knee sliders definitely have been used... Does that make me a racer wannabe tryhard? :bleh:

[Okey Dokey]

To me, leathers=safety=smart=attractive. One piece or 2-piece zip together. Says to me that the body inside has a practical attitude to safety and riding. When you go riding, don't you spend most of your time on the bike anyway?

[NZsarge]

Oh, that.

:rofl: Too true but when push come to shove these is nothing better to be seen wearing while skidding down the road on your arse I guess.

[Livvy]

Not that you wanna be seen skidding down the road on your arse.

[NZsarge]

Not that you wanna be seen skidding down the road on your arse.

Sometimes you don't have an option....unfortunately.

[Livvy]

Too true, that.

And it's better than skidding down the road on your helmet.

[Meekey_Mouse]

Too true, that.

And it's better than skidding down the road on your helmet.

Noooo! Not the helmet :shit::love::crybaby:

[alley cat]

It's not the suit, it's the stuffing.

Amen brother.

[Morcs]

Surely someone has a picture of me in my Repsol gimp suit...

Looks soo hot... :devil2:

[NZsarge]

Dainese in particular make some really nice kit for the ladies. :niceone:

[Livvy]

Lol. Go on. Post us a pic, you know you want to, especially after Aero's posted his. Maybe we should hold a competition?


Dainese in particular make some really nice kit for the ladies. :niceone:

Ohhh really? Hmm. Now there's a thought.

[Swoop]

One piece. Fine on a racetrack, but elsewhere?


One even told me I had a big dick.:slap:
Did you leave her with a sore mangina?

[enigma51]

I look very nice in my one piece!

[klingon]

This thread is useless without pictures.

I'm with the "it's all in the stuffing" brigade. Some bods are going to look great whatever they are in, some are going to look like a bunch of spare tyres balanced on two sticks of spaghetti.

Oooh, a yummy shapely male body in a tight leather suit... mmmmm!! :drool: But yeah, would still look like a poser if he got out of a car in it. There must be a bike in sight to give him a good excuse to wear it.

Edit: Oh yeah if he's got the bod he also has to know how to move it

+1 on Klingon!

Come on boys (and girls, you of those whom have one piece suits), bring out the photos.

Preferably of you in action on the bike I say :D

Heh, good thing you said "In action ON THE BIKE" or else who knows what I could of posted....:lol:

[Livvy]

Well should I post the one you linked me to earlier? I told you I stole it. :rolleyes:

[Aero165]

This one?:jerry:

[Morcs]

Most high res pics I have of both my gimp suits.

:lol:


hmm one piece on the ladies :niceone:

I dont think ill wear a "gimp" suit till i buy a repsol/gsxr or something painted red.

it just wouldnt feel right,nor look right, on my "tank" (My katana) :lol: :oi-grr:

[Meekey_Mouse]

Whoops... Changed pic as the other one was already in avatar :stupid:

Pic one, in the pits... It cracks me up in movies when the chick gets off a bike, removes her helmet and her hair is perfect... You know she hasn't been on the bike for long :spanking: Or if any chicks actually are able to do that.. PM me your secret!

Pic two... Back on the bike after binning it. You have to wear a Fluro vest for your first few race meets or if you're under 17 :doh:

If you want some one dancing in gear... You can't beat Mordeth13!! Most of his vids are awesome :jerry: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q93v2PDQZm4

[Blossom]

Very nice pics Meekey....:cool:

But I have to agree with earlier posts...its very much the togs, togs, togs, undies problem. On a bike they are great but unless you are wearing them at track day it can be safely assumed you will be walking more than 12 feet from your bike when you then pass though the gimp tranformation area and then begin wearing your superhero costume. :lol: which is fine if your a superhero I suppose. :chase:

[Meekey_Mouse]

which is fine if your a superhero I suppose. :chase:
Shhh! Don't blow my cover :shutup::shifty:


:D

[2wheeldrifter]

Ladies in a one piece like this.....:2thumbsup "Hell Yeah!

But really unless your on the track, day to day riding etc a good 2 piece zipped together works fine.....

[BuFfY]

I think they only look good if they are the right size for the wearer and if they are either on a long ride or on the track. Imagine seeing a guy walking around the mall in one!! Would turn a few heads!!

[Drew]

Imagine seeing a guy walking around the mall in one!! Would turn a few heads!!

Whenever I end up at the mall wearin my one piece, I make sure to keep my helmet on. If I'm gonna be looked at like a weirdo, I want it to be on my terms and as though I want it.

[MIXONE]

Was that you I saw the other day then?I thought was Stig from Top Gear and wondered why I couldn't get an autograph.

Haha well fair enough

[Drew]

Na, been ages since I wore anything but jacket and jeans on the road bike matie, looks like the stig just didn't like you after all.:Pokey:

[Henk]

Gimp suits are great while you're riding and a complete pain in the arse the rest of the time, and yes they make you look like a tosser. But there's nothing I'd rather crash in.

[Livvy]

Amen to that statement.

[Drew]

Gimp suits are great while you're riding and a complete pain in the arse the rest of the time, and yes they make you look like a tosser. But there's nothing I'd rather crash in.

I'd rather not crash, atire regardless.

Have to say I've been lucky with crashing in the wrong get up. Jeans and sneakers, come away with no worse scrapes than similar crashes in a one piece. Different story would be crashing at race pace in jeans though, I'd come away with out skin methinks.

[Livvy]

We'd all prefer not to crash, atire regardless, but as you say, at around town speeds, a crash of your own making (i.e., not a crash involving a car, but where you slip on a wet patch, etc) would probably be about the same in jeans or in leathers, but I reckon it'd depend on the incident...

But I'd still prefer, town speeds or not, to crash in proper gear, be it one piece or two or even more.

[Henk]

Definitely go along with the rather not crash sentiments. I've had my gimp suit about a year, worn it half a dozen times. Also have leather and cordura jackets and pants. Usual riding atire is a combination of those with jeans thrown in. Have crashed in all sorts, jeans suck for hitting the tarmac, have lost skin and collected some of those neat little burns where the rivets get insanely hot from being ground off on the ashphalt.
