I imagine you guys have seen this but for those who have not, enjoy.

I want a riding outfit exactly like the guy on the right. Brilliant.

Love those old shots. My favorite 'outfits' are on the guys in the owners manual of all the 70's bikes.  Leather pants, mid calf boots, leather jackets, long gauntlet gloves.  

Saw one, can't remember which bike it was, rider was in all white.  very cool.

Absolutely. Any poseur with $250 can deck out in 12" black leather engineer boots, but it takes reals stones to wear side-zip brown ankle boots like those  ;D. But you would also need to ride like Steve McQueen to truly pull it off so until I'm at least past worrying about dropping the bike in a parking lot, I will stick with plain black leather boots ;).

I still have the blue and white wind breaker. And the blue gray leathers from back in 85.

They would probably like a stiff drink and some mink oil. [smiley=beerchug.gif]
