I have several sweater vests. Too warm for them now.
I had a leather vest but the wife threw it out?

Yes I wear a vest unless its way to hot. Strictly a protection thing. I do not have a whale that rides with me. My passanger when not riding with me is on her own bike looking smoking hot making the whales want to beach themselves and dir. And a sweater vest? I thought I look funny with the bandana on to keep my glasses from flying off.

For those who think they need one for the sole purpose of "keeping your shirt form beating you to death", get a damn shirt that fits!

Besides, vests look totally gay.

I bet there's gonna be some serious butthurt following this, flame away.

Where what ya want, I don't care, but you did ask. Just my opinion, everybody has one.
OK there you have it !!!! Get a shirt that fits and throw away your vest because this dude apparently gets his panties in a wad when he sees you wearing one.

I don't own a vest BTW but I really don't think that it makes me cooler than anyone who does.

Actually, I think you own a vest, or were about to get one, lmao. I think you got yer little feelers hurt.
I don't care if you wear one, but you'll still look gay.

Yep 99% of the time. I'm a member of the American Legion Riders. Good for starting conversations and I'm proud of earning it. Had a stranger pick up a meal tab once and have had lots of hugs from lots of ladies.
