Maybe? For you guys- of course I will.

edited : never mind... I just realize the choice you made..

I like uniform colors that match, red or gray would work

I'm still on the fence between red and yellow.
  • Blue- doesn't look as good as I'd hoped next to the bike.
    White- Turns silver with dirt very fast and wouldn't really fit
    Silver- Known to be a poor color choice for safety as it doesn't stand out during the day, at dawn/dusk and especially during overcast and rainy days.
    Black- not for a summer jacket :wink:
    Red- Fits with the bike but is noticable a shade off, giving me three different shades of red... I'm also not sure I like having gear that matchs the bike. Doesn't stand out as much and I'd look like a tool (do we have an emoticon for being a tool?)
    Yellow- Looks nice, brings out my natural colors :laughing: and stands out well. Just not sure how I like it with the red. It looks good... but not amazing.
I'll know soon and I'll order soon, and I'll post pictures soon!

May I then suggest the red or the yellow. Personally, I'd go with black but since you will be absorbing lots of heat/sun rays and therefore cooking (I assume it gets plenty hot there)... that leaves those two. Are the 3 different red shades that bad (besides the blend in factor) and does that bug you? The yellow probably looks quite sharp with the contrast.
Ya right, :wink: there are only 2 kinds of bikes: It's a Ninja... look that one's a Harley... oh there's a Ninja... Harley...Ninja...
