If you don't wear one, I don't care.

Some of you guys need to go outside and mingle with real people a little more often.

There was some idiot in one of these threads a while back that said He didn't "understand the vest over the jacket" and kept asking people to "explain" it to him.

I mean....Seriously???

The whole question of what you wear on you bike is pretty damned stupid.

Yes, YES! YOU are CORRECT Sir!

I own a couple, one leather, several denim, some with the Harley logo. Remind myself as I might, I rarely wear any of them. And I'm big on stylin' when I'm riding.

I wear a leather vest when i ride. Even when its hot as I like having the front pocket to hold my vape mod.

I used to ride in a club and got used to wearing it all the time but now I just wear it when i ride.

Met some buddies at the dealer then hit some taverns. Gotta say that the vest is alive and well in the PAC. NW. Better get mine out of closet so I can look cool again.
