Colour matching with your bike is very uncool.

It is as bad as dressing your kids the same or wearing the same outfit as your Mrs.
You wish you could wear my Mrs outfits

I've got a red bike, blue jacket, green helmet and yellow gloves. I look so bad that even my own kids make fun of me - I look like I've had a peacock throw-up all over me.
But I'm way too old to have much pride left so I just go out and have fun.

I break the rules of the MSF in a big way. I wear Joe Rocket black leather, usually black riding pants or jeans, black gloves (except when it is very cold, when I wear my red winter riding gloves) and black combat boots. My helmet does match my bike thought, in Kawasaki green.
I have though of getting a few strips of that refletive stuff to add some markers to myself.

I like it when the colors are different enough from teh bike. It's makes the distinction between bike and rider.. Then the observations change from
"That's a cool bike" where you blend into the bike
to
"That guy's awesome" where you stand out.

I'm also bad in " To be seen" area where they taught me in MSF. I have 3 jackets where two is black (leather and textile) and other one is Red & Black (touring 3/4 Jacket) I bought the red one becuz I was going to wear it at night but the whole past year I only wear once. I think the color that match my bike the best is Black but hey how do I know, I have a silver helmet plus a purple bike. LOL
