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

Btw, you must have missed my previous post wherein I noted that I live by this thread. Did you take that for sarcasm? :p

My post was funny until you guys had to actually give a valid reason as to what was happening, thanks a lot!

And you know me, I'm mister serious. :)

I'm getting the itch for something different. I'm thinking a cheap older bike WITH the SV, like I have enough garage space now. Gotta be something with leg room.
 
Camo pants, iridium visor and rim tape :(
 
hahaha :P
nope to all
 
Lol, damn according to visordown...I must be the shiit. Lmao
It is possible to dress for riding and still have a good sense of style...
No excuses people!!!

I can understand the prescription glasses for folks but sun glasses
with clear visor does look awfully funny to me...just sayinnn...
 
I pretty much agree with the list except for the sunglasses and the matching gear for your pilon.. nothing wrong with wearing sunglasses. That said I don't because a tint shield is way more comfortable. And having a pilon with matching gear looks good. We aren't talking matching leisure suits while walking in the park here..

EDIT: the only problem with matching gear is it gets expensive! I originally bought two cheap helmets for the wife and I.. I'm now looking to upgrade to a decent 300ish dollar helmet.. the wife doesn't ride half as much as I do and doesn't really need an upgrade, but I want them to match so it's gonna be 600 plus! :(

Sunglasses are easier to take off than to do a visor swap at a red light

What about a zillion stickers all over your bike ... or the guy with a sons of anarchy everything . .. no joke .. sticker on helmet .. patch on riding vest .. the whole kit and kaboodle.... lol
 
Hey, I just ordered iridium visors for my new helmet! I ordered a gold one to match my new lid.

I also like that people can't see my eyes, so they can't tell if I'm checking them out lol.
 
I guess that I too am guilty of having reflective rim tape on my old rims but I did it for safety reasons and it looked alot better than just bland black rims...

I am also guilty for having matching helmets, jackets & gloves...I like the colours & I don't give a flying **** what others think!
 
Nothing wrong with wrapped headers, even if they don't serve any purpose other than looking better than blue pipes..
 
Wow if you are still in high school then this list matters. If you still live in your parents' basement then this list matters. If you have a job and pay the expenses for your bike then everyone else can go **** themselves.
So long as you ride within yoru limits then enjoy biking. Even if you do pose at Timmies it is your money and time and nobody's business.
 
am I reading that wrong or did he say buying leathers to match your bike was stupid?

also iridium visors are still badass
 
Lol I purchased a reflective construction t-shirt to go over my black leathers at night .... also sunglasses and clear visors are okay in my book!

Also as a friend pointed out last night , I do look like a christmas tree with my green bike and red helmet!

Bike has factory rim tape, and I'm fine with it!
Sunglasses under the helmet are a prerequisite, I don't care if anyone's laughing.
I'm surprised the "chick riding passenger leaned over on a gixxer and showing off her t-bar" isn't on that list?

a big plus 1

Why does anyone feel the need to make a list of what they think is acceptable and not acceptable when it comes to fashion? Wear what you want, be who you want to be, poser, leather clad pirate, super racer in one piece suit going to get groceries... if you like it, then its a win for you. Enjoy it how you want to, all this worry about so called rules that are asinine are a waste of time, much like my post.
