Well i jsut got them today in the Mail from Fox Creek.. WOW these chaps are AMAZING... I measured my thigh a little wrong... I put down 22inches instead of 28... Yeah so needless to say is that i cant zip them up.. lol... I am going to send them back. I am glad that i did this before i got back to ENgland... So now when i get back i can get my *** off the plane, get to my house, throw on my BLS vest and head up to Scotland for a nice ride of the Highlands... That is if we land during the day. If we land at night.. Well, i may just have to go to the PUB!

Chaps are gay but leather pants are not? I love your reasoning and I think anybody who insults people just because they start a thread asking an opinion on something does need to grow up or get a life. You all are a bunch of keyboard comandos you think you tough because you throw around insults that you would think twice before saying in person. We are all supposed to be on here to try and create relationships and to help each other out with advice or sympathy whatever is needed. But then you got people like yourself and a few others who just throw insults at people. You just called a lot of ordinary people and guys like the OP who is in another country fighting against terrorism gay. I'd like to see you walk up face to face and call a soldier gay. You'd think he was gay by how quick he would put something up your *** and believe me it wouldnt be his dick.

Default Serving our country

This goes out to 2kids3pets. He is more than likely serving for the US. If you look at his profile closely he lives in England but serves in the Air Force. We do have bases overseas. His profile name is WV boy. Probly for West Virginia.

The same could be said about the person that got heated when I said to grow up. You people sound like a bunch of elementary school kids with this stuff. Everyone wonders why bikers are always ridiculed upon, Well this is one of the reasons, We cant even stand together here much less on the congress floor. There are people trying everyday to take more of our rights away and here we are calling each other gay.

sick of hearing about people scared of how they look. I personally didn't like chaps until it was 40 degrees and raining. Tried on some I had laying around and now my thoughts have changed...
