Should I feel bad that I thought some of these we're actually very cool? :p

I do the sunglasses behind clear visor - but none of the others I'm glad to say!

[cerruti]

Oh dear, so me wanting stick on pink fluffy leopard print floppy ears probably isnt such a good idea after all.....

But whats wrong with mixing leather and textile? I tend to wear leather trousers and textile jacket together as they are comfortable and a good fit :-(

Nothing screams "I can't ride" like matching bike, helmet and leathers.

[Toph]

I'm guilty !! all apart from matching pillion gear.. mine's blue, the wife's are red.

[Jon_W]

Jeans tucked into boots.... yes, but only because the jeans won't go over the boots...

Sunglasses... check

Mixing leather and textiles... check.

The rest im innocent!!!

[Swanny]

Mixing leather and textiles.... I can't see a problem with that

[Crosbie]

Guilty as charged. Sunglasses and mixing textile with leathers (neither of which i have a problem with). Serves a purpose.

I once had some Gary Glitter style motorcycle boots, with the shiny shin plate, on my MBX125 with dropped handle bars.

[Kevinb]

Nothing wrong with mixing leather and textiles or sun glasses under a clear visor. The others are definite no no's

[Geordie Stu]

Textiles & Leather mix. Nothing wrong with that. The RST winter gear I bought years ago has a mix of Leather & textile in the trousers. Sunglasses & clear visor hmmmm nah not for me

[Senna(Dan)]

Sunglasses & clear visor hmmmm nah not for me


Is this because you are a huning lunatic Stu?

Textiles and leathers is good, can provide the best protection in certain weather conditions. What about Draggin jeans and a leather jacket?

[Vulcanboy]

If you have a clear visor and the sun id shining .... it time for de shades ...

[bigpete]

it would seem the stick on ears/mohican are running away with it!! not wanting to offend the fluffy eared brigade, i voted matching rider/pillion gear.

[Swanny]

Jeans tucked into race boots
Sunglasses behind a clear visor
Mixing leather and textiles
Matching pillion riding gear
Stick on ears / mohican
Hoodie over race leathers


I voted Jeans tucked into race boots

[DC]

I do the sunglasses under clear visor !!! But Its hardly a fashion statement :cool:

[Jed]

For me the biggest mistake is MCN thinking that there is any merit in having a poll in the first place! After all for most of us (well me anyway) what we wear is more about need, convenience and budget than making a style statement

[Swanny]

Surely high-viz should be on that list?? ;)

[Gooz]

Swanny GTF I wear a hi viz !
