Tango, I think the expression is Life begins at 40 not pipe and slippers begins at 40   RK - "how it's done" is the problem, there is no excuse for riding like that on a public road.  The tosspots who think it's cool to ride like Rossi on country roads are known collectively by a technical term - fatalities.   The one that really makes me shudder are the guys you see at full lean on a tight right hander with their head and shoulders hanging over the double white line, it never seems to occur to them what happens when they meet someone coming the other way whos drifted out to the white line.                                                                                                                                                                             

Come to think of it I always have colour matched leathers myself as all my bikes are black.
