Do I need to buy a trailer or can I still participate? Thank you in advance for your response. I already have the gloves.

You do not need a trailer, just an opinion. Be forewarned though, some people will say they don't give a damn what others think but they will flame you for not thinking like them.
As for the fingerless gloves, I have a pair and some people think they look gay, I just give them a big hug and tell them thanks for caring.

That's all the info I can give for now, stay tuned next week same assless time, same fingerless channel...

Great!! If the Doctor doesn't release me Monday to ride the bike, I'll put my chaps and gloves on while riding the recliner. I'll be ready either way.

They look good in the mirror.

My wife looks hot in chaps and jeans or just chaps or just jeans. She likes how I look in chaps too. I have leather pants also and there nice to use when it,s cold but I feel like a bad version of Elvis in them, some thing about them also screams DISCO MUSIC.
If I was to walk around in a mall with chaps on folks would think, look a biker, but walk around in leather pants and they would think HOMO.
