the ideal rider would have a hat to match his bike, of course that would then be a black hat. I learned a long time ago that boots had to be bought tight in order to not be sloppy - if they fit perfectly in the shop they ended up oversize later. So I did the same thing with my hats, that last Shoei XR8 so was damned uncomfortably tight for the first 2000ks. But then I rode around the east cape in the rain, and I think my head changed shape to suit it. It then fitted (fat?) perfectly for 128000km, and saved my life when I Tboned the drunk driver who ended my riding career.

Of course some would say that black hats and black bikes are hard to see, and we ought to dress like flourescent penguins, but actually the drunk that hit me was enjoying a sunny waitangi day afternoon, and I dont think he would have noticed me any more in dayglo puce or lemon.

Then i couldnt be bothered paying a lot of mnoey to get a new helmet and jacket just to look cool.

So what happens if I accidentally went the other way??

My Black pants, black/red jacket and grey/black/red helmet DIDN'T match my old CBR thou' (red, white and blue), but now that I've got a black/red GS1200SS I can't help wondering if I look like a complete tosser???

Might be time to get old the old black leather jacket again... but it doesn't have armour and it's shrunk around the waist area somehow...

I have a black lid and a black bike- does that make me cool, or am I trying to get the "biker" image going on?

One of my bikes was white with red and blue pinstriping, and I used my black lid with it. Do I have to make offering to the fashion gods for my offences?

Dafe was referring to his profile picture so I looked, being nosy but thinking well it was an invite to everyone . If you want some very cool dragons for your desktop, and heaps of other great free wallpapers go to the VisualParadox website. cheers

Alas! Life is never simple for a female.

**Lord Derosso** · 22nd April 2006, 19:09

But I will change my avator accordingly. LOVE yours

Anyone wants to think I am being a stuck up shit.... Lord Derosso cames froms my Role Playing game days from 20 years. Its merely a egoish Poohole avatar so if you dont like it just call me ... Ross. I refer Ross in forums because I generally dont get into shang if I cant avoid it. After all we are communicating as in trying to be friendly?

Black bike, Black Hat, doesnt get any more wicked than that.
Cept maybe big, red and italian. Err the bike folks!

It never ceases to amaze me how so many boys have lids that don't match their bikes

. We're talking about spending thousands of $$$ on the machinery, matching riding gear and alas, a gorky lid to spoil the image.

my helmet matches me bike

So come on boys (and a few girls) get to it. Let's see some sexy lids please![/QUOTE]

**bert_is_evil** · 24th April 2006, 14:18

I wanted a helmet with a clip so I went to a wholesaler and got an HJC, they only had a silver/grey/black patterned one but I figured "hey, my bike is black, my gear is black, it will match wont it?". Has been a constant source of embarrassment ever since. I even had it replaced with insurance after a crash and they replaced it with THE SAME COLOUR!!!
sigh....

**Lord Derosso** · 24th April 2006, 17:10

I have several and a HJC matt black lid. If you want one go to WN Motorcycles as they have them. Approx $300, though I still really like Dafes dragon lid..... see his profile pictures
