Everyone...
Who rides with chaps, and do you ride with em all the time, or just once in a while? I picked up a pair for the winter... Liking them so far....
I will have to get me another pair bought these in Sturgis back in 87 and they are a little tight guess I have expanded in some spots.[:-]
My son wears them now.

RE: Chaps??
Started a thread like this on another board, 200 replies and 19 pages later there were almost fist fights between the wearers and non-wearers...something about the preceived sexual preference of those who wear them or something like that.
Wife and I used to wear chaps in the 'cold' weather here in So. Ca. where it falls into the '50's sometimes. Wife found "Blizzard Purff" insolated bib overalls at the local Wal-Mart. Cuffs zip to the waist, bib zips to the crotch making them very easy to put on. Very warm with no 'cold spot' in the front or rear. She doesn't look nearly as good in them as she did in chaps, but whatever keeps her riding is OK with me. She tried electric under jeans, but like long johns you are sort of stuck with them when you get to where you are going. The bibs come off really easily and can be left on the bike.....food for thought.
