Take the train, wear your best gear (no not the S&M stuff ), mind your P & Qs. Oh and good luck .

I've turned up for two interviews wearing leathers, and spent more time talking bikes that about the jobs I had gone for

I got both jobs

They were in a factory though, and I do think that for a more up market job in the city a suit and a train journey might be more appropriate. It shouldn't be that way, but it usually is.......people WILL judge a book by it's cover

It's usually too much of a gamble on whether the leathers will be a good thing in the interview so I'd say definitely get the train.

Like Lissa points out, depends on the job. In a big formal company, it could be a huge mistake to take the bike. It could also, however, be a great icebreaker, and if it's one of those companies that interviews dozens of people, it could help you stand out.

What do I know? The last interview I went to, I didn't even know what job it was- I just went to get the time off work.

I think I'd take the train then I wouldnt be worried about where I was parking my bike and where I was leaving all my kit.

Good luck with the interview TSM

I wouldn't care if someone came to an IV in leathers. But caution dictates - get the train.
