I hope your belt buckle doesn't double as a bong.

I'd really love a plain black armoured leather jacket with a big reflective Suzuki 'S' sewn onto the back.

I wear my high viz aerostich suit and I am seen. What people think about me is none of my business... I live to ride another day, again, and again, and again...

I have reflective tape on my rear fender, and a flashing red led light 'cause I never want to hear a cage driver explaining to me again as I am crumpled on the ground after being run over that "Sorry mate, I didn't see you..."

Saw a bloke once pull up at the Puhoi....on a Red Ducati, in a Red Ducati one piece with Red boots.....he loves his Ducati, this we know, but he was riding alone....

It's only cool if it's for free.I wear an '80's Honda T shirt with the sleeves cut off over my shirt when trials riding....and wore it over my leather jacket on the dirt track.Found it in the rag bag at work.I also round a genuine NGK T shirt in the rag bag - and by genuine I mean the makers label was even branded NGK.I wore that until it fell apart.If you can't get your branded gear for free,then Savemart is a good second choice....some classy gear in there.

But actually buying clothes with a motorcycle brand on it? That's sick...like,how big is your mirror?

Taller than yours.

I have kawasaki socks that I dubbed my lucky socks, and they are just ultra snuggly, perfect for winter! I also have a Kawasaki Team shirt that a few KB'ers bought me that I wear on 'special occasions' (not many things go with black and highlight green, but I work it, I work it good).

I suspect I'll find more apparel to show my undying love for kawasaki .....

....*bashfully looks for a kawasaki watch*

Fark it...I have heaps of motorcycle branded t-shirts but then again I make sure I get them free when buying a new bike.
However people wearing the whole matching lot especially on a group ride gives me the shits...

Oh bugger

I feel that unless I get it cheap/free, I'm not going to pay for a product and advertise for them as well.

Well I guess as long it doesn't have bloody tassles. My good wife usually picks me up a Suzuki shirt or cap when she's over in Aus for work, so I can claim that they're a gift. Which makes them ok.
