Actually, I read somewhere that black is and always was the biker colour, because of the early bikes and cars. They would put so much crap in the air, that any other colour would look "sprinkled" after a while.

 

right on with ridin the mad bulls. I've just found the brown leathers weren't as water resistant as the black. I'm sure with lots of spray they would work just fine. It's not a fashion show though so do what you want.
