Pink helmets?

Oh, perhaps I should add that if Black is the "male" color (or lack there of -- I digress), I'm against it.  No use for Skulls or Demon graphics.  

Since I'm sharing, I admit to having a PowerPuff Girl's sticker on my tank -- "Bubbles" to be specific.  :)  My six year-old daughter thought it was cute and I felt it was the sensitive, fatherly thing to do.  Besides, they're superheros.  8)

My wife loves pink (the color) and would wear all that. When I move up to a bigger bike she wants to paint my black GS pink. I say thats ok alongs as its not purple

actually if they weren't chaps and the jacket wasn't so short I would buy the whole set. (though not the helmet) I'm partial to mine. I love pink and wanted everything in pink when I bought my bike. There is a pretty limited selection, but if I see something motorcycle related in pink I'll buy it - I just bought a pink beanie thing for winter from Icon - it's really cute !

I'm not a fan of pink, but I would wear it just to throw people off.  It'd be a spare set of gear, though.

I'm OK with the jacket length - my other Icon jacket has been fine - but assless chaps are just out.  Especially with the fringe.  I don't wear laced boots because the laces can get caught in moving parts (like the chain) in an accident, and the fringe would be just as bad (if not worse).

I got the pink Icon merc jacket.
I like that it's pink so people know I'm a girl rider (maybe)--also it was the brightest color I could find.  The picture dosent do it justice, it's really bright.  I wanted the pink Icon helmet, but the icon helmets dont fit me well.  That leather pink icon jacket is rad, but it's out of my price range for now.  

Chaps are just wrong.  Especially with fringe. :roll:

Quote from: RedShiftWould any of you women buy a fully pink ensemble if it was available when you were collecting gear, or is it too "girly girl" for present company?(My guess is Pandy would say "No", but if a Purple suit, she'd be all for it.) :thumb:

Actually, I rather like the pink ensembles..I was thinking it would match a purple bike. ;) The first time I saw a helmet with the pink graphics, I loved it! The only thing that's kept me from buying pink gear is the thought that if I get a blue Gixxer 600, clash city! But I may just go pink or purple anyways.  :thumb:

Sorry, you're just going to have to get a different color GSXR600.   :mrgreen:

I usually have gear that color coordinates with my bike. Once I crash that bike and have to buy new gear, I get new colors! :lol: My jacket and helmet are blue, though, to match my bike. Black does tend to be the "male" color, but I don't think it's as safe as colored gear, just due to light absorbtion properties.

Just don't ride around in Seattle...  I don't want to check out your ass.

Well ladies, thanks for opening up.  I wouldn't of guessed the draw to Pink, but I'm not surprised either.  ;)  Anticipating my wife's needs is kinda a hobby I haven't yet mastered, but have dedicated my life to figure out.  :)

Chaps just don't make sense, so I'm with you there.  But I'll be one of the first to say that Pink is a bright and rare color on today's roads.  Last Pink vehicle I saw was a Mary Kay cosmetics Cadilac, and it was no where as bright.  Probably very visible, day or night.

Sorry to say I'll be leaving wearing Pink to others.  Flourescent Lime perhaps, Yellow maybe, but I'll leave Pink to those that can do it justice.  :thumb:
