I like wearing them in the winter cause they don't protect my crotch and when I get home from a ride the OL usually wants to play................Find the turtle!

My OL got me a pair of H-D's for Christmas a few years ago and they are very well made and far from thin. They kept me warm and dry all they up the Alcan and back and cleaned up great with just a damp cloth. I'm sold on em myself. Had others in the past but these are top notch.

I finally bought a pair of Fox Creek chaps last year. Without a doubt, one of the best investments in gear I have ever made.

Judas priest comes to mind. Gay singer in leather pants, jacket and chains lol.

Funny, when I first got my bike, the first thing my daughter said was, "You're not going to get leather pants are you?" But when I got my chaps she said, "Nice chaps Pop!" So what's gay?

Kelly's Leather in Richmond Illinois or Fox Creek in Virginia. Heres a picture of my Kelly's leather Chaps sitting on a scale. They don't really get much better than Kelly's.
