to wear a Ducati shirt while riding a Ducati?

[The ModFather]

My lovely wife says to wear a shirt that says Ducati while riding on a Ducati is like wearing a shirt of the band youre seeing at the concert as is deemed "uncool". So I can wear my Norton shirt but not my Ducati shirt while on my Monster. Thoughts?

(Dont tell the Harley guys they'll lose it)

I would hope your shirt is covered with good gear ( leathers or riding jacket ) so who would even see it?

My two cents

[Sanjuro]

I would agree with your wife, it's bad mojo.

I wear my red ducati monster t-shirt while riding my red monster 696, but that is only when Im riding around my neighborhood and is extremely hot.

I think it looks cool

I don't pay that much attention to what I'm wearing/riding/driving. Coordinating shirts to vehicles seems like a lot of headache.

If this is your big problem in life, life is really really good.  Cool is wearing what you want, not what others tell you to.

This was a topic that was brought up at DIMBY a few weeks ago. I have several Duc shirts, bags and jackets but also  100,000 miles between two Monsters.

She's right  

Neither she or I wrote the book - we're just quoting what it says.

I'm not sure about a Norton shirt though. Best to ask her again.

Do what she says and it will be less headaches.

This.

Always and forever this.

I'm not married so take my advice with a grain of salt here.  Who the hell cares!  Most people are to dumb to read the tank and see what you're riding.  Rock the shirt!

I never really think about matching clothes to bike - I ride every day and wear whatever I feel like/must wear that day. I don't have a ducati shirt, but if I did I wouldn't go out of the way to wear it while on a ducati nor would I actively avoid it.  I've never been very good on style or what's cool though, I just ride around a lot.

What about Ducati gear? I have a Dainese jacket that has some Ducati patches on it.

It's like wearin your favorite players jersey while playin a pick up basketball game. Nothing wrong with that.
