Ok to wear a Triumph jacket on a Duc?

Beats looking like a pirate   

Nothing beats looking like a pirate.

Any gear is better than no gear. Brand whoring is an unattractive trait. If I saw a guy on a Duc wearing a Triumph jacket, I'd probably be looking at the bike. If I noticed the jacket at all, I'd assume he was an enthusiast of Euro bikes. If it were a BMW or Ducati jacket, I'd assume the same.

If it were a BMW jacket, I would assume they were a douche.

Doubt you'd object to mine though, and it works VERY well, light, well-made, and has CE armor. Great on the Bonneville too as it looks like a Barbour International. http://www3.catoya.com/asp/_1071/flash/pdfs/0052.pdf

It doesnt matter what you wear when you ride as long as it keeps you safe and you're happy with it. What matters is you ride and enjoy it.  Personally next to Ducati Triumph is my number two choice followed closely by Norton. So do the right thing and dont worry about what anyone says about what you're wearing while you ride. Especially you're old lady!

I'll be wearing a Harley jacket when I ride. It's comfy and well worn in at 7 years old. I'll probably get a non manufacturer branded jacket at some point.

I wear all black, all the time, 'cause I'm a badass...

(pay no attention to the tutu...)




Wear what you want... who cares what others think...  Enjoy yourself on the bike!

I draw the line at Harley gear too. Its just personal preference. Like they said on Seinfeld.. "not that there's anything wrong with it"

Lots of great responses to my semi-serious, half-assed question. Thanks! I wound up getting a Fox Creek Grayson jacket instead. No frills, black. Time to go look for some patches!

Went riding with a friend this weekend. He rode a BMW k1300, wore a Ducati Jacket, and a Honda shirt underneath.  Who cares what you wear?

gear is gear is gear. i'd rather be wearing a different brand of jacket and save my elbows from grinding down to nothing than worry about matching.
