Can you tell this is taken in England?

Yes.  Here in the States, if you go riding in those outfits and stop at a local biker pub to wash down some of the trail dust with a couple of beers...  let's just say some of the fellahs might misinterpret your fashion statement faster than you can say: "Bring out the Gimp!"

Cute little Rascal you got there Spikey.  Glad to see you are getting him interested in bikes, cars, welding helmets... ahem... mohawks... at an early age.
