Default what's this about

a couple of weeks ago i went to an antique bike meet few miles from home. now over the years i've seen a lot of unusual things at bike events, but this was new to me. there was a guy wearing some normal bike t shirt with a scottish kilt. a friend who makes a lot more bike events than i do said he had seen this several times. is this a new fad, or what is it all about???

Proud of his heritage or trying to stand out in the crowd. I have a friend in a band that wears one when he's playing. Says it is a lot more comfortable and the girls love it.

Back in the 70s I was a drummer in a Scottish band. Whenever someone would ask what I wore under my kilt, I simply replied "my shoes of course".

Thumbs down

My guess would be that being an "antique bike meet" there would have been alot of British motorcycles there . Scottish.............British................see where this is going ? Most likely the proud owner of some British iron .

It's a new fad. I know someone that now rides with one. Called Riders Kilt or something like that. I think it is stupid.

Where is home for you? We have a local MC called the Highlanders. They're known to show up at events in kilts.

A lad and a lassie were having a little picnic out in the heather. She asked him what he wore under his kilt. He said reach your hand under there and find out. So she stuck her hand under his kilt and yelled "gruesome". He said well stick your hand under there again and you'll find it gruesome more.
