Would it hurt your eyes if you saw me wearing a Triumph jacket while riding my Duc? Wait, before you answer, I'm also rockin Harley Davidson boots. And my jeans have creases from where my mom ironed them even though I told her not to. Ok, that last part isn't true. But would you acknowledge me if I rolled up along side at a light? Discuss.

While riding your Duck?

I'd rather you be wearing gear that didn't match your bike than not wearing gear at all.

But that's only my opinion, which shouldn't matter to you at all.

Wear what you want, dude.

Where did you find that picture of me?

You are only allowed to use Ducati emblazoned gear while riding a Duc. That includes socks and underwear. If not, the Ducati police will impound your bike. No exceptions.

Does not apply for hot chicks as long as they're just wearing the jacket with g-string. Safety first.

Why not, as long as it doesn't scream "TRIUMPH" in big letters all over it? I wear an older black Triumph jacket with subtle branding on the front only and otherwise looks like a WW II USN aviator's jacket but has full armor and wonderful vents. For that matter, my other jacket is a black BMW "New City Jacket" which is high-tech but looks like a Barbour International, also with little obvious branding.

Ducati/Dianese seem only to make flashy stuff for kids or for slim roadracers. THAT leaves ME out. 

Mom irons your clothes?

It's cool so long as you wear an orange Repsol Honda helmet and not a single piece of Ducati gear.  Or wear what you want because it is your bike.  Your Mom irons your clothes?

Don't h8 cos I have it so good, braah. 

really ?  who cares ?  I wear a Triumph t-shirt when I ride my duc 620.  I just bought a used ducati wind breaker from DMF, i plan to wear that when I ride my triumph s3.

seriously though, i personally do not care about color matching or brand matching that most people seem to care about. 

as long as you wear a gear 

i had a dude ask me if it was ok to wear full suit at bike meets.  Who cares ?  Wear whatever you feel is right for your riding style or feel will protect you more. 

ok, i admit, you won't catch me wearing a Harley gear.   screw that !  I draw the line somewhere.

Triumph riding gear is a good deal. Their stuff is cheaper than Dianese.  Had I not rec'd a decent discount on the gear I bought at the time I acquired my 696, I might have paid a visit to the Triumph dealership.

Since I also own a Triumph I see no problem with wearing my Triumph jacket on my Ducati. AS already noted, Triumph gear is pretty good stuff and much cheaper than Ducati gear. Go for it! 

Beats looking like a pirate
