Question Vest or not!!!

Ok my fellow brothers and sisters. Do you ride with a leather vest on? I just recently bought one for myself. I think it looks awesome. Better yet, it looks awesome on all riders who wear one. For all who have one, did you purchase one after you bought your bike? Do you just wear it when riding or do you wear it all the time even when not riding?

On the Dyna I wear a leather vest for the pockets/storage and to keep the shirt from beating me to death.

On the bagger I usually don't wear one.

I have one, sometimes wear it, sometimes not. I do like the multiple pockets.

I switch between denim & leather, but like the feel of the leather better in cooler weather. They give me somewhere to keep my **** (wallet, phone, etc.) AND help cover up my less-than-perfect body...

I got one awhile back and put a large USMC logo on the back. I wear it most of the time but only when I'm riding.

This summer I might not wear it as much, since leather and Texas summers don't mix well.

I wear it when the temperature is right. The leather is a great insulator.

A Vest is part of my Motor Clothes, when riding its always on. If too hot the Jacket goes,but the vest stays.
