RE: Chaps??
Well I guess as long as they aren't considered RUB... I am keeping mine. No frilly shirts or any of that other stuff, though... They definitely keep me warmer, and the way mine are setup, they are easy to get in and out of. I really like my girlfriend in a pair too....

RE: Chaps??
I just got my first set on Saturday. I am also looking forward to the feedback. What type of scissors you used to hem? I rolled them under for my first ride but it may be easier to shorten them up. I notice at the dealer they didn't offer to hem them while I was there.

Big sharp ones, or a ruler and a razorblade. Last thing you want are little nubs where you opened the scissors to start another cut.
Mine kept me dry today when I foolishly told myslef its not gonna rain. Got halfway to work and the skies opened up.
Its worth all the ribbing I get at the office.

Paul, I'm in Ajax, and have a house in Sauble Beach. We're bloody neighbours. I want to get a Ontario ride together in the spring. There's about 20 of us. Keep in touch.

Cheers!

This may have been mentioned, I didn't take the time to read all the posts (7+ pages)...
Chaps on men...
I don't know where some of y'all are from but around here you laugh a a fella wearing chaps and he's likely to hog-tie and brand you.
They're called cowboys, and I'd ride with one anyday.
They wear them for function...not style...and that's good enough for me.

RE: Chaps??
Got em and wear em. Takes some of the sting out of bugs and rocks on the road.
Leave them on if stopping for less than an hour most times (just too lazy to take em off I guess)
I believe chaps and a thong are standard evening wear for women at Sturgis. (At least I seem to see that combination a lot.)

Not that there is anything wrong with that!
