Holy Bike Leathers, Batman!
But, riding to the rescue on his unbelievable BatPod motorbike came Christian Bale, in The Dark Knight - a movie notable for a lengthy chase involving lots of motorcycle riding goons.
In Christopher Nolan's re-imagining of the Batman franchise, the costumes are brought right up to date, and capitalising on this to the max are UD Replicas, with a range of biker gear based on the movie. You can get Bruce Wayne's biker jacket, or sport the leather numbers worn by the Joker's henchmen.
But the best is yet to come, with the imminent release of the Batman replica motorcycle suit, comprising gloves, jacket, trousers and boots. Comprising Kevlar body armour and moulded leather attached to a hard-wearing Cordura base, with Spandex confined to a supporting role, so that you can actually move your limbs.
All in all, if you want to scare old ladies and wow children, this is the outfit to be seen in on you bike, although admittedly perhaps not if you ride a Vespa! But if you've spent you hard earned money on a nice set of leathers, make sure they are protected with a decent helmet and leathers policy - and I mean decent, many inferior products on the market will not cover the amount that this suit will retail for. You can buy the suit soon at http://www.udreplicas.com/.
