Another leather question.

As I stated in my last post I'm looking at buying a two piece suit probably the Teknic Chicane from the response in my last post...My new quandry(and then I will order)I hate the blk/red...too garish...I'm not too fond of the grey/black either but am concerned that the all black(best looking) will just be too damned hot(the 2pc suits have no ventilation). Average temps here range 65-90 with a couple of weeks in the high 90s. I'm asking for your experience and opinions to help me finalize my choice. Thanks.

The lighter your colors the better you'll feel when the sun's out.

You can get them ventilated or do it yourself. All black will be hot and not as visable too.

Re: Another leather question.

The visability is an issue. As for the temp, just go faster

Re: Another leather question.

I don't know how much more visable the grey/black would be than black, and the red/black is so.....

I like the red/black combo. Black is too hot.

Re: Another leather question.

I like the red and black together...just not the pattern...plus I'm not sure I want to match the bike SO much...
