Zactly - There is other things I'd rather have supported.

Who give a f#%* what someone else thinks! I'll wear precisely what I like including my bright red Honda shirt and my WRC Citroen hat along with lime green crocks and bright yellow leather pants and if you don't like it then don't look!

And anyway what's wrong with being a wanker....?

I agree 100%. I think the only way the whole uniform thing is acceptable is when racing (MX/track etc). Around the streets = wank

I have a pair of Triumph brand Kevlar lined Jeans. Best (most comfortable and nicest style and fit) I've owned.

The Triumph Retro Racer Jacket is also one of the nicest motorcycle garments I have.

ducati jackets are on trademe now. you're a wank if you DON'T buy one!;-D

i have a rider friend who just bought an '08 sv650 and he has a gsxr yoshi jacket and cap, kinda bordering on the wank factor but then he rides like a madman so the jacket may very well totally be worth while!

personally i wouldn't. it makes me think of harley riders or fans. there's a few guys around town with ford pickups and they've got harley stickers and badges and one has a huge flag in the back window and i just think, what a fuckwit..

ducati = yes
jap big four = yes to an extent
brit bikes = yes cos they're classic (ok maybe not if you own a late model trumpy so much)
harley = take it and hang it in the window of your trailer so people know you're an 'outlaw'..

:-) i love badmouthing harley owners..

consider the holden heads, picture this.....the mulleted holden owner steps out in his holden t shirt with the holden jacket, the holden trackies, the holden watch, the holden cap, the holden can cooler, the holden girlfriend (similarly dressed of course) & holden his penis!! This makes any biker look good.
