Default Just want to ride...

So tired of opinions in the motorcycle world...

i ride a Harley because I think it’s a great looking bike. I don’t ride to try and be cool or a exceptionally tuff. I ride for fun because it’s hard to be on two wheels and not have a slight grin from the rumble and freedom that can’t be found on four wheels. I ride 100 mile round trip to work in horrible traffic because I get home 45 minutes faster and I get to play in the twisties and have a little fun to help unwind from work. My bikes rack up 10,000 + every year.

i wear a leather vest because it’s a little extra protection between me and the road and I hate when my shirt blows up on me. Again not trying to be Jax from SOA but just like the look and function.

i wear biker head gear and beanies under my novelty helmet and my full face. I do this because I’m a hat guy and no other reason. I got a hundred hats for a hundred reasons. The only time I don’t have head covering is in my house or in a court room. Not wearing head gear to be a bad a$$ just like to wear head gear.

Chaps or Snowboard pants have been my choice when I ride under 40°.

Now back to opinions about how I roll... I don’t care about any of them... why? Because every time I’m on my scoot life’s just a little better and no one’s opinion is going to change tha

Now let’s all shut the f?!k up and go ride!

Just my opinion here. You shouldn’t feel the need to explain or justify yourself to anyone.

Wearing hats may make a person think that they look cool, (self perceived notion) but may well lead to premature baldness.

I must admit that. Disregard.

Are you riding a scooter or a RoadKing?
BTW, if you ride to work a little more than half of the time. You would be putting 15K + miles on a year just to work and home.

100 hats? Geez... I mean, I like a hat... but I got maybe three or four. Maybe 7 if you include those stupid bandanna thingys (yeah, "stupid", I can say that 'cos I do wear them under a helmet; they do help collect sweat, but they's still silly things)

But too, yeah, the rest of it is about right - except that you cared enough to post it.
If you wanna wear a leather vest, go for it (I wear one with a long sleeve shirt under it), full gear, mid-gear, full face, modular, normal boots or steel-toed boot ---- all your own choice.

I wear what I choose to wear, ride what I want to ride... and don't give a rodent's rectum what other people think.
(Last weekend I hired a Goldwing and rode the **** out of it in the Pennines..... North East UK Great Rides)
Life is FAR too short to spend more than a few minutes of it worrying about what other people think of you, unless they mean something to you (the only person I gave a lot of care what she thought of me is gone forever)

marcos shoes - "100" Meh... LOL!

Doesn’t matter what I wear I still look goofy with a shiteating grin on my face when I ride,and it’s been this way for the last 30 years when I bought my first Harley-Davidson.
so wear what you want or wear what everybody else wears,doesn’t really matter just ride and be happy.
