People have been using moto gear to look cool for decades, whether they ride or not. It's our burden and curse to be so freakin' awesome that everyone wants to cosplay as us. Or so I'll tell myself.
And, throughout the years, you've seen fashion icons don fanciful versions of our jackets, boots, jeans, and suits for all manner of non-two-wheeled pursuits. But those have always been repurposed stock. You'd see someone throw on a full jacket, complete with armor and looking like they're auditioning for the next Power Rangers series. Or someone would walk the red carpet complete in adventure boots.
