My bike's black and my leathers (jacket and 1-piece), boots and gloves are black and my helmet is the grey Kagayama replica. I would have the Kagayama regardless of what color my bike is. I generally try to match everything else though.

Yep. Altho mainly just because Im not a fan of color. I like white, silver, and black. My gear is either one, or all of those shades at any given time.

I match my gears' colors to the "theme" of the bike. For example, the BMW has a set of blue&white checkered outfit that coordinates with BMW Roundel logo. The KTM has a set of black&bright orange leathers. The Aprilias get either red/black with Italian tricolore initials, or orange red with some sort of tricolore theme. I know, it's lame but I can't help it, I'm too damn vain for my own good.

Oh, and the track leathers is the yellow&red outfit to signify the State of New Mexico.

I mix it up sometimes just so that people would go, "WTF, over?" when they see me.
