Default Do you match your gear?

Here's a fun question for everyone: Do you match your gear with your bike?

I used to want to match from head to toe with my bike, but it seemed too "power rangerish", to me anyways. Now I like different colors that not necessarily MATCH the bike, but COMPLIMENTS the color of the bike.

So....do you match?

No, gear is black, so if I change bikes I won't have to "run in" new kit

I guess what I mean, is do you try to match the colors of your gear to bike (ex. blue gear to blue bike, etc)

For example, I saw this:


Call me crazy, but I think it looks great! Others will beg to differ (probably the majority)

i have white gear and black bike, i think not matter what im sport white gloves and jacket. my helmet is now silver, but i think the helmet can be either perfectly matching or random as hell and it doesnt matter. i want to get those white sidi boots too but they are a lil pricey. and i would like a white one pc. but mine works and it was decently priced so theres no way im buying a new one just to have it be white like the rest of my gear.

My bike is black & silver, got a kind of a silver gun metal colour helmet, but black boots with silver logo (small logo), would only take a few dabs of paint on my jacket & pants & I'd be coordinated.
Except I think that sort of thing makes you look remarkably like a dork.
My cousin-law when he bought his Beemer R1100, went for the whole thing, BMW matching leathers, BMW helmets (for pillion as well), he spent a small fortune to look like a dick.
