Which one to choose between the two (Jacket)

Ducati Forum

Help Support Ducati Forum:

I prefer bright visible jackets, anything I can do to help be seen. I'd get black and white.

I agree. I steer towards brighter colors for visibility. I ride with some people who have black bikes and wear all black colors, they blend into the shadows and disappear. Motorcycles are already dangerous, why not improve your chances of not getting creamed by a car.
 
I like them both. Have always been black leather guy but now have crossed over to brighter and visible is better; thus I picked up the new black white and red Corse jacket. Is it bling? Yup...do I care what others think?..:nope. I'm a rolling billboard for Ducati now!
At least I can say that neither my bike or jacket has ever been to a Starbucks ; but I just can't seem to find the right crew to hang with!

+1 on the corse jacket love it. 3D bubble mesh liner is the bomb! I thought it was a marketing gimmick but it works great. Rode last summer with it and no sweat on the shirt kept me cool and now I won't buy another leather jacket without it now.

Good job you didn't...We'd have ripped you...:D

Bit of harmless ripping does not hurt. Must admit have not heard that term before.

Here we say "ribbing" someone which is like taking the piss.

Not to be confused with rimming which some of the gimp fans on here may be familiar with.:D
 
White one.


I have the Ducati Mecanica that has some white on it.

Why don,t you buy the one you like ?

I like both of them, I just think buying the two would be to much expensive! But I going with the white one finally cause I already got a Icon overlord black on black
 
That is really interesting. Does it mean black and white is not good? In that video, people are moving constantly, however, in case of a black and white jacket the colours stay close to each other and do not cross hence making it more visible dont you think?

The reason this raises a concern is that I have also been looking into getting a leather jacket and was at a cross road trying to decide what colour to pick and I am also confused now!

Just in case any one wants to help, here are the two jackets I have been looking at. Its the Dainese Super Speed Jacket.

Black, white and flouro red

I'm just glad that this forum doesn't discriminate against gays. Or gay topics.

Clearly not if you think asking about colour choice is gay.

The way I look at it, it is a safety thing and I prefer to be safe on the road and be seen by motorists.

Every year we get many dead bikers on UK roads and most of the time they get hit by a car because the driver did not see them. Generally they are dressed in all black and riding a black bike.

Do you still think its gay to ask about what colour to pick?

I am guessing you ride wearing T-Shirts and Jeans and think you are the most invinicible thing on the road, No?

The main issue is that you see what you expect to see, if the driver does not expect to see a motorcycle he is less likely to register what he sees and the rest is...... :(
