Nothing wrong with brown, just remember black is faster.

I saw an orange bike the other day with brown saddlebags. They looked really good, but black goes with everything, or so they say.

Black leather with a black bike.

Brown leather with any other color.

In my warped head some things just go together and some things don't.

Probably goes back to my Sunday school days when Mom insisted that my belt and shoes match.

Enjoy regardless.

P.S. I am not a fashion consultant, I just play one on the internet!

Brown is good but I've seen some good looking pink.

I've been on several motorcycle forums, and nowhere else have I seen such a bizarre obsession with fashion. It's weird, frankly. Who cares what color you jacket is? As long as it's comfortable and meets your needs.

Well, whatever... I see someone is now offering a hemp jacket in various colors. Seems pretty cool...in any color.

Decide if you want to be in a fashion show or just ride. You're on a Harley, black, brown, blue jean or hoodie, who cares?
