Only because he didn't take any spares to silverstone and it just so happened i was in the right place at the right time

I've not done any of those. Worst I've done is worn sunglasses with an open face lid (still don't reckon this is anywhere near as bad as under a full face one's visor). I've also tucked my denim jeans inside my boots.

For the ultimate in how to be cool please see Treacle. . . . . . . . . or as he is more commonly know, the Oracale Of Cool

Yep, they ran out of space for the article. the next one was 'Don't be Hovis", but the editor decided it was too obvious to most of the population

Nuts to 'em. I like hiding leather's under a sweatshirt, I think my gold iridium rocks & sunglasses under a clear Visor are easier to take off when it gets dark.

dont go out in all brand new kit you'll look a flash tw#t with new sliders,

I see, and what exactly am I suppose to do? Hang the leathers in the garage for few years to mature?

i put red rim tape on me red bike, it looks nice and subtle, where as if i'd done it in day glo yellow maybe a crime?!?!? bit of a split decision on this maybe?

I'd like to see that sometime. I think rim tape can look good, but I had doubts about doing it to a red bike.

As for crimes - I wear my boots over my leathers - so I think that makes me a fashion criminal. Not sure I could wear them the otherway round even if I wanted to.

Not guilty of any of those... I mus be a fashion god!

as for leathers over the boots.....check out half the field at various GP/BSB/WSB rounds, i've noticed a few of them do this, so could be cool???
