    I wouldn't do it... I like my Kawas and all, but still. It's bad enough just wearing Alpinstars as it is

    But hey, to each their own! Your money, your choice...

    I looked at Triumph jackets when in Oz. Awesome jackets except for having Triumph stamped on them.

    Oh yeah baby. He yells as he madly rushes out the door to the nearest Hyo Dealer to get matching Leathers, boots, gloves, helmet, all with the Blaring HYO logo on it.......

    Absolutely stunning...


    ...NOT...!!!!!

    The clothes don't make it cool or a wank - that is entirely down to the person in them.

    The wank factor is quite high.

    My Kawasaki socks keep me well warm in the winter, thank you very much!

    I'd rather wear a outrageously bright green Kawasaki jacket than a floppy yellow florescent vest too. eg.

    Triumph make some neat t shirts, and a few of their leather jackets are nice looking too, without being to 'loud'.

    Yip... Hence my previous post about my "Ghey as" predominantly white Honda Repsol Jacket. I go around setting off Gaydar's everywhere but hey, at least theyve seen me !

    But you know it - and it's for a reason - so that is cool.

    Harley stuff is inherently cool. (Get f*cked if you say otherwise). A overweight balding accountant in a bandanna is not. A fit one might be.

    One thing I've noticed, and I suppose its expected..........but the price of some of the bike apparell!
    Ducati gear is real expensive. Triumph stuff not so much as Ducati.
    Dunno about Jap bike stuff, as I don't have any.
