Are you guilty of any of these motorcycle fashion faux-pas?

It's an optical illusion Raf...they match his bike. Pretty sure that yellow falls under high-viz too (pfffftt.. Close enough ;) ) add some sunglasses and a fluffy bunny we have a Gtam fashion disaster! LOL!

In order to consider myself guilty of a biker fashion faux pas I would actually have to care. And having ridden in cold and hot weather my attitude is 'MEH'

Ok so if I were to list a possible faux pas this would be it. But honestly I consider this more selfish then anything to do with fashion. As the rider you are responsible for your passengers life.
 
It's a funny artical. Sunglasses were off the mark tho.
 
Rim tape and vest-over-t-shirt: Guilty. Though I stopped the vest over t-shirt a week after i started riding. I feel no guilt over rim tape.
 
Got me on two; Hi Viz and jeans in boots, on the extremely rare occasion that I'm not wearing a full suit. Better an anorak, than a blood stain. Haven't done the sunglasses thing for a long while, because I don't like how they mess with peripheral vision. Having flip down inner sun visor on the helmet helps there.

They might get me on the fogs/driving lights thing too, if I can't come up with a better way to make myself more visible from the front.

I absolutely agree, so long as the passenger isn't a rider as well. Then I think it's absolutely up to them. They know the consequences =)

I'm guilty of the "jean in boot", but I don't think it counts if they're CFM boots.
 
Sunglasses, jeans in boots (even right now... at the office), and rim tape :)
 
Guilty of sunglasses and it wont be changing either. They are prescription though.
 
icon vests over hoodies. and ridiculously over-exaggerated "two-fingers-down-wave" .. it doesn't look cool- you do the serious speedracer thing and i'll wave to you like a normal human being.
