Oh your post was very much more pointed than that and we both know it, painting with a broad brush ? I think not I watched it happen up close, went from wild to mild in a decade.

We quit being bikers and became baggers.

It was in Deadwood, during the rally. My x snapped that pic from across the street while I was noting the similarities between the two. You have some problem with me or are you just turned on? I don't swing that way... so you can let it go now.

Full dress Harley had a windshield and saddlebags.

My first Harley was a 1965 Electra Glide. I bought it in 1981 and traded it in on my '17 Tri Glide in January.

A local club nick named me Dresser Bob. I didn't know for years that they were making fun of me because they all rode choppers.

It must be regional, around here we don't pay any attention to guys without shirts or spend our time thinking about the Village People. I guess whatever floats your boat...

Also l looks like over the hill 70s **** star. Which is better than Village People.

When it gets hot, I find myself wearing my vest less, and just a cotton shirt that breathes. Though when I was at Sturgis, I probably had to wear it and show off my I rode patches.

I don't care much about the fashion police. People are stupid. I'm a grown man, I dress how I like. I figured it's safer than a tank top.
I will admit, I don't do it much anymore. caught a bee at dusk one night and got stung 3 times before that little bastard fell out the bottom. was quite a sight to see an old "**** star", riding a hog, slapping the living **** out of his chest at 50 mph.
