I'm after some pants (preferably leather) but everywhere ive looked so far all they sell is black, or black with a small section of some other color.
I've got nothing against black (lol) but i want gear that is more visible, and we all know what black gear does on hot/sunny days.
can anyone recommend anything? im starting to think i might have to extend my search to auckland or wellys

You live in Palmerston North, and you want something that's NOT Black?
You fuckin' changed man. I feel like I don't even know you anymore.

Us our Estremo pattern and I reckon keep it black on the lower legs (grease dirt etc) and we can change the top panels for white and or grey.

Motoretail have a 'bit' on non-black Rev'it gear.
Saw a smattering of non-black in Oz bike shops recently (BikeBiz) but mostly for the 'ladies'.
Otherwise highviz vest and reflective tape on yer helment and beware 'Steal a Roadcone Day' cos ye will look like one.
Wearing Hi-Viz Black.
It gets cooled by the air passing over it as you ride along.

agree - why are we so hung up on black when our bikes don't leak oil anymore! who cares what you look like - if you do get a life and check yer ego. be seen not cool - though both is best!

Once you've had black..
Que?
That's only a problem when you're on a ride where everyone wants to stand around all day talking shite & drinking latte's. Oh, and when you go to the track and can't be arsed taking a bag with some shorts & jandals in it.

true, but my bike doesn't just sit in the shed all week waiting for sunday afternoon. i leave the car/van at home whenever i get the chance. so "it gets cooled by the air passing over it" doesn't always apply

There is a place in K-Road that custom makes leathers for motorcyclists. Prices are very resonable - full range of colours as well - the womans name is Kerry and she's being doing this for years and years - very well respected. She does the leather work for the NZ Police motorcycle unit as well. I paid about $1600 for a two piece full set that fitted me like a glove (about 2 years ago so may cost a little more now) Cheaper than what I could find in store and absolute perfect fit being it was made to measure (she did this over one weekend.......) I can't remember the name of her business of the top of my head but hopefully some biker in Auckland will know who it is - if not ring Motomail in Auckland (thats how I got her contact details)I'm after some pants (preferably leather) but everywhere ive looked so far all they sell is black, or black with a small section of some other color.
