    Hmm, the kind of wank you normally get from the 'We asked 100 people...' polls, especially when the gene pool they enquire from is more of a pond.

    There's an obvious advantage to a fleece over your leathers. I'd be surprised if it kept you warmer though. Really? But great at keeping the sky crap off your leathers.

    I wear sunglasses, riding during the day. They're polarising so they block 50% of the glare immediately so how can that ever be a bad thing, but they've also got foam seals along the wrap around edge that stops the wind drying my contact lens and protects my eyes when pootling visor 'up'. In fact, if I can find the company that I got them off I'm going to see if they do a yellow, high contrast lens version for night riding.

    This kind of bollocks burns my arse, to be honest. It's trying to correlate biking with fashion, when I thought the whole point was being a bit different.

    Apart from anything else, they're slagging off Super Cub.

    Bastards.

    Guilty of fleece on leathers. Tis a bit warmer, but riding a 05, and having naff all storage and only 1 small inside pocket on my leathers, I need somewhere for all the keys, phone, wonga, baccy n lighter. Be even worse IF summer appears, i'll have a bum bag!! (camouflage, obviously. If I can find one)

    Either a fanny bag or a 'paddock' jacket. Gets too warm tho, ya get in traffic and start boiling up and sweating like a fat lad in a cake shop.

    Just been watching Barry Sheene racing at Donington wearing a red body warmer over his leathers.

    Definitely counts as a Biking Fashion Fauxs-Pas, but as there was still remnants of snow by the side of the track we should let him off. Funny watching him just play with Mick Grant.
