They would probably wear a sport-style motorcycle jacket with synthetics and carbon fiber. I've rode only briefly but I would personally never wear a leather motorcycle jacket.

It only makes sense to wear those if I was flying a B-52 or P-51 or fighting in the trenches.

Sadly, I have to agree with Polak on this one, although I do own a grey pleather jacket I wear with a hoodie on occasion but still looks outdated if I wear it with any other combination.

I tried one on once with jeans, and boots, and looked tremendously handsome.

They really took off again in the 90s too. The hip hop scene in the early to mid 90s was all about that kind of swag. The trend was to make leather versions of standard ball and kangol type hats.
