It's one step up from mine...
Guy pulled up on his 95 Sportster the other night, all stock except the $99 drag pipes. He parked next to me and had the full Harley Halloween costume on... leather vest, sleeveless shirt, bandanna on his head, etc.
He looked at my bike and asked if it was a Deuce.
Not long after I heard him telling a non-rider who was interested in bikes that mine was one step up from his.
I just chuckled on the inside...

And I assure you... there's over 10k miles on it, half of those since I bought it less than 1 year ago.
Anyway, not trying to be a 'fashion cop' but I think we all know the type. They buy the bike and then have to buy the attitude and look to go with it. It was very contrived, and he had the 'wannabe badass' attitude the whole night.
Why would I confront him? I was more amused than anything else :lol:

Just goes to show, too many people care what other people think
I ride with cheek chillers (assless chaps), a vest (when it's hot) or a full jacket (when it's cooler). leather or fabric fingerless gloves (again depends on temp), "Nam" boots, (for those than know WTF I'm talking about), either full face, 1/2 shell or leather wrap (depending on state and temp).
It's what I've worn for years... it's what feels comfortable on me when I ride... I could give a fig what people think of my fashion sense... hell, I wear assless chaps fer god's sake
But I do know where the comment and statement comes from, We've all seen our share of "badass" wannabes. They get a bike, and think they have to carry a 'tude to go with it.

I thought it was fairly amusing (probably moreso for me since I was there) and figured we'd all had our experiences with folks like that
