+1 I wear chaps any time it's cold, but I still make fun of them. It's just a joke that got started somehow. Chaps are wonderful for cutting the cold wind, insulating the legs and helping against road rash if you happen to go down.

Still, azzless chaps has a funny ring to it, so stand by for flaming.

Have a pair of the separate leg chaps that loop over your pants belt. Like them much more than the regular chaps - don't bunch up when sitting - but yes, a$$less. Also wear fingerless gloves. Maybe the difference between gay or not gay is what you do or don't wear under the chaps...

We have a winner!!!!

It depends upon who the chaps are wrapped around. Maybe someone has a photo from Sturgis they could post to give us an example? Please.

THANK YOU! I was just looking at this post to say that very same thing! Saying "assless chaps" is just redundant and suggests images of people wearing them without pants on.
