I don't have a motorcycle, but I have a motorcycle jacket; tight T-shirts in black, charcoal, and other colors; tight and/or bootcut jeans; and fitted modern tanktops in black and white. These are some of the cornerstones of my casual streetwear. The jacket is nice because I can also pair it with a sweater in colder weather and it doesn't look out of place.

I'm still working on the boots thing. Found a great pair of harness boots at a consignment shop a while back, but they were about a half-size too small. For a while I tried to convince myself that I could wear them, walked around in the store . . . but eventually my better judgement forced me to put them back.

Unfortunately it's hard to find motorcycle boots that look good and are actually protective, so when I ride, my boots look like Napoleon Dynamite. But otherwise yes, I do get into this mode a lot when the weather is amenable.

Unfortunately my jacket is so heavy that I feel it's a bit weird wearing it if I'm not actually riding. I plan to get a lighter weight, but still authentic cafe jacket at some point, maybe an Aero in brown with silver hardware.
