thats what is so great about our country. each can do their own thing. certainly everyone has a choice and can believe whatever they like.I certainly wish each fellow rider a safe ride without injury. Ride On!

no to shorts. use caution your right calf touching pipes will burn before you can even react.
my 2 cents.

So lets get this straight. You must have the extra 5 feet of protection from the thin cotton fiber. But its ok for the ladies to be behind you wearin who knows what? Go figure.

I ride in whatever I feel comfortable in that day. Jeans (not for the very minamal protection they offer),shorts,helmet,no helmet. I have no one thing I ride in.It changes from day to day.

Some one finally speaks the truth. Its about image. NOT saftey. And I for one didnt buy a HD cause I thought I would "look" cool. When Im riding ,unless in a group...Its about ME. Not anyone else. Go ahead ride neked. Just keep an eye on the belt.
