RE: Jean/Boot question
One other trick you can try is to use the older Army blousing rubbers. Short OD green twisted cloth elastic bands with hooks on the ends.
You hook the ends together at the top of the boot or on it, and tuck the end of the pant leg up under it.
Makes it look like the pant leg is tucked into the boot top, but the rubber keeps the pant leg from blowing up in the breeze.
When you get to where your going you can pull the pant leg out and just leave the rubber on for the trip back.
You can do the same thing with a big rubber band, but the Army rubbers are easier to use and usually reasonably cheap in Military surplus stores.

I still have a set or two laying around for hunting, but I don't bother on the bike.
I normally have to shorten most off the rack pants, so they are just fine for riding with boots.
I don't ride in sneakers very often, you just can't do the same level of damage to a car door with a sneaker. [sm=laughingsmilie.gif]

Whats wrong with a little draft, it'll keep you cool when you need it. I didn't know riding was turning out to be a fashion statement LOL, who cares if your jeans are up, you're on a Harley!! Do they go back down a a light?? just stabd up and push the legs down, sit back down and take off.

Guess I"m of the "don't give a ****" variety myself. Regular jeans and lace up Ariat boots cuz I'm walking through construction sites almost everyday. When I ride, I'm looking at the scenery or watching stupid cages....never took the time to look at my legs.

Duct tape. Really. I've always got a roll with me. Works great in a pinch.

I like to wear cowboy boots when riding. They're comfortable, make for easy shifting, give good protection and solve the jean creep problem.
