Of course you don't have to. I'm going to, but that's just me. I mean, I buy expensive helmets because I don't plan on crashing, but I'm very aware that it happens sometimes. But until then, I want to be comfortable. I know I'd be just as safe in some cheap Icon helmet or what not, but the money is worth a graphic I like better, the lighter weight, better airflow, less noise, less lift...I can't stand cheap helmets. They make the proverbial time-until-the-wreck almost as miserable as the wreck itself. (exageration, but still)
As for matching the gear, not only does it just feel/look better to me, but this way everywhere I go with my blue leathers and blue helmet, everyone knows the blue bike is mine. Less chance of people letting their kids run wild and such when there's a very obvious visual reminder that I'm standing right there. There are some VERY stupid reproducing individuals out there.
Plus, how goofy did Danny Eslick look wearing his Matsushima leathers on the Yosh bike? Pretty damn goofy.
