I have to admit, I have done/do a couple of those!! ::) Love the scooter blanket though!! :o
Very good ;D
I'm guilty of the shades and clear visor look :-[
and scooter blankets rock !! :D
Hmm, I wear photochromatic prescription specs that tint quite dark under my clear visor - does that make me a dweeb? Don't answer that! :D
BB
Guilty - sunglasses! (and I'll carry on too...much better than a dark visor ;D)
I was just about to order an Iridium double bubble screen for the Cat... :-[
Don't think I'll bother now!! ;D ;D
But I like anodized parts! It makes my bike different from the other 3000 bikes that were made. ;D
And my kevlar jeans will be staying in my boots as its comfy!
Used to wear an iridium visor - I thought it was pretty cool! Also guilty of the fleece over leathers at times, and the hi vis
We had matching Kawasaki jackets.....dont tend to wear them as much now.....since someone said we looked like Asda employees hehe ;D ;D ;D ;D
I think i'm clear but i'm going to tell tales on Don who has the exact set of comedy L plate sliders :)
I don't think I've done any of those :)
Guilty. on several counts! DOH! :(
I used to wear pink leg warmers on my GT suzuki when I was young. :o :-*
Tina, never thought of that before - Kawasaki green riders do look like they are starting or leaving a shift at Asda. ;D ;) :P
I have to admit that I have done the sunglass thing and also the hi-viz too....
mm my pink furry head?! ;D

hehehe.....still makes me chuckle....one of the girls from work has invested in one now I believe....but her chap said he wont let her go pillion with it on hehehe
Thats just brill star ;D ;D ;D ;D
Non of the above I'm just way too cool for any of that 8-)
I am joking of course...!!! ;D ;D
I'll put my hand up to Fleece Over Leathers at Brands last week for the final session I rode, my excuse being it was cold and wet so bollocks to the Fashion Police :P
I wear sunglasses a lot of the time plus the internal dark flip down visor in my Schuberth helmet. They are prescription and I have sensitive eyes :P
Guilty of the rim tape......and the camo! ::) :-[
I MUST get a blanket ;D
I wear sun glasses, but in my defence often use a dark yellow lense as opposed to black lenses 8-)
Only one....... 8-) but I need them ... ::)
Strewth... it's a crime to wear sunglasses..?
8-)
Sunglasses only!
I own a "race rep" paintjob bike, but it came like that and is a proper job! And I owned a bike with rim tape fitted!
I have tucked my jeans in my boots once, but only when they were brand new and I was admiring them .. someone mentioned to me never to do it again and I haven;t! :-[
Sunglasses under a clear visor 8-) Still guilty but i am Daddy Cool !!! ;D
I think the bike snobs have gone a little too far with that one. It's hardly in the same league as anodized bolts and neon lights.Quote:

Obviously i've never done any of the above.......well maybe 1 or 2
Ok I admit. Green LED pilot lights & Green rim tape :D
Given the bike's I ride, I'm hardly concerned with my image ;D ;D
When I was a carefree yoof on LC's and such - skinny white jeans with baseball boots and 'Anarchy' punk jacket, lime green helmet, girlfriends fluffy jumpers - pretty much anything was fair game, even on the odd occasion actual genuine protective gear ;)
Biggest shock I had when getting back to 'mainstream biking' a few years ago (after finding out how much better tyres were) was how much the dress code and kit were part of the scene. Flash leathers and textile suits, big brand helmets if you want to be a proper biker.
Each to their own and with my general dress sense it's a bit of stone throwing/glass house situation if I comment on other peoples ideas of good taste.
Have to say though fluffy ears on the helmet, just not ever gonna be happening for me
Oh well I think that list covers all of us ;D
Easier for me to name the things i dont' have / do from that list.
Now, must be the time of year to get the red camo "Draggin" jeans out of the wardrobe and get them tucked into my silver Troy Bayliss TCX boots !!! ;D ;D ;)
.... not forgetting my red wheel trim, iridium visor and getting the orange Mohican on the helmet !!!!!!! ........
..... just the scooter blanket to get ;)
drat... I was doing well and feeling quite smug until i came to wearing a fleece over your leathers - guilty :-[
And I thought it was quite cool too 8-)
I'm sure you did it, but as I was looking down the list, other friends / members were popping into my head - Ade ;D
G :)
Haha Gerry .... we posted at same moment .... beat you to it by 1 minute !!!!! ;D ;D ;D and of course 8-)
And... before some of my so called perverted friends on here read my post, there's a "slash" in there OK ;D
G :D
;D ;D ;DQuote:
