Motorcycle branded apparel - Cool or wank?

[Yossarian]

I like's me Belstaff's. Good solid gear and lasts for years.

So did Casey Stoner.

He too will get laughed at if he turns up at the Puhoi dressed like a big red cock, but only after I get his Autograph.

I reckon wear what ya like, and 'up' anyone that bitches at ya.

Though somethings look a bit over the top, time and a place really. Like full one piece Ducati Bayliss rep leathers on a Ducati cruising along at GN250 pace can look out of place. I wouldn't laugh though, I'd just be jealous really that I couldnt have such cool gear. I reckon it looks mint on the track though.

I sometimes get given crapola's when I wear a Duc top under my road gear. Funny eh, but it's ok to step off the 'branded' machine. Those that wear 'gixer' brands under theirs usually slip by without a comment go figure!

You could keep it subtle like, if your worried, who ever thought there was anything wrong with a sexy pair of Ducati underware.....and no-ones going to bitch about that eh

Does it matter, is it a material issue?

Nope, it's fun which is what KB is all about

Soooo If you pulled up next to a Porsche in a carpark and the Porsche driver got out of his cage wearing Porsche Driving Gloves, Porsche Jacket, and Porsche Aviators, would your thoughts be "what a cock"

Big pile of wank!

very different scenario: He gets paid plenty to wear that kit. Us wannabes have to pay plenty to wear it. big difference

actually a lot of the people who own Porsches are cocks. So just seeing the car would be enough. Its a pity because they are great cars.

Porsche overkill???

Definately WANK WANK...

yawn...

An independent survey of police officers in the UK found that given the choice of stopping a speeding Ferrari or stopping a speeding Porsche (they couldn't choose the option both) and taking their licence from them the Police voted overwhelmingly in favour of stopping the Porsche.

Ferraris are obviously cooler (I suppose it's like Ducatis and BMWs eh?)

My ex-girlfriend's mother used to have a Porsche coffee machine... She was a hairdresser too.

But no, she didn't have anything else with that brand name on it. I think she won the machine somewhere...


I'd take a Porsche over a Ferrari just about any day. Good engineering and it's designed to be driven, not to be sitting in a heated garage.
