Visibility is the thing, no matter how shocking. Hate Kawi green, however.

I like to have at least a matching stripe on my jacket. I have a blue Icon full face helmet for the winter, but in the summer it's a black half helmet. I can't see wearing a different color jacket than the color of your bike.

I have a friend that has the Timax jacket, he says it is really good and I think it's great. It is put together really good and the cooling vents seem pretty good, plus the armor is tough. He said getting the right size was hard, he sent it back 2 times to get a good fit. This May I'm buying a 636 and the timax, I to like zac will go crazy with different colors. Mismatch yes but " I will be seen". Even though being seen is a big part of it you have to think to yourself that no one sees you. I raced Motocross when I was younger, you have to be track alert 100% of the time on the road to have a fighting chance. O and my 636 will be lime green, When I raced my KX250-A5 was the same. I would not have it any other way. I have a thing about how well Lime Green stands out....

Bike is blue/black M50
Jacket is Black/blue/white stripe (sort of like vector's above).
Silver helmet.

So, sort of color matching. I wasn't getting a red helmet with my bike...

Oh... I don't know, Pete, it' looks like you match your bike perfectly. A black bike and a black leather jacket... the perfect combination!

I probably look like a total tard now... my red and black Joe Rocket touring jacket with red and black JR riding gloves and my blue motorcycle...

I bet it's hard on the eyes...

I have a pair of maroon underwear that match my bike colors pretty good, but it's much too cold to try riding around like that this time of year.

Hmm! Subtle.

Me: Silver bike with dark blue accessories. Black on black gear for summer, blue on black for winter. Steel grey lid.

And for variety, Yellow bike with yellow lid - otherwise same gear.

Colour matching? Mostly by accident. I like to surprise myself.
