    I've got a 50th Anniversary Yamaha jacket, bright yellow in the Yamaha racing team style. Never used it on a Yamaha, never used it on a yellow bike... statistics show yellow is the safest colour, so I don't give a toss. Big ups to OAB for bringing it back from Japan for me

    I like matching leathers ect
    To every man upon this earth
    Death cometh sooner or late
    And how can a man die better
    Than facing fearful odds
    For the ashes of his fathers
    And the temples of his Gods

I have black leather and black and blue codura with a red/white/black bike. I love the coloured leathers but would never try to match the bike I would just go for what I like and who cares if I coordinate or not as long as I am happy with what I am wearing.

    I agree completely... matching leathers are arse, go for what you like...

    Matching colours are ok but it all turns to shit when you want a different bike.
    My choice would be the AlpineStars by the way.

    there is one guy selling green sports bike jacket on trademe and it doesn't look too bad. but what has really caught my eye is a kawasaki jacket on ebay from the states.

    i think its really cool. AND it seems to have all the buiso in terms of armour and protection etc. but its branded... is this gay?

    also i have a couple of other green options that aren't branded but i still quite like...

    is this the equivelent of a boy racing covering his car in Horse Power Stickers?

    EDIT - updated with prices in USD:

    option 1: Joe Rocket: $425.
    option 2: Icon motorhead: $290.
    option 3: Icon sports: $350.
    option 4: AlpineStar Stunt: $320.
    option 5: Teknic $245.
    Matching leathers and bike.....
