Default To wear white sneakers...

So do you have to ride a certain model of Harley to be cool while wearing white sneakers? Do you have to have the right vest or the right helmet?

I mean if you are riding an Electra Glide or a Some other "Glide" type with white sneakers and either no helmet, or a doo rag, are you a poser?

With all the stuff on here about the sneakers, what's a biker, SOA, who wears what and if you ride with one hand, or you wear a doo rag, you're a poser, etc.. I just had to ask. Is there a specific bike and uniform if you want to be white sneaker cool?



P.S. If anyone takes this for other than tongue-in-cheek ya gotta be a poser and probably have a closet full of white sneakers.

P.P.S. WTFrell is the horse blanket vest thing about? (That's serious) I keep seeing references, but all I've ever seen on guys on bikes have been leather or denim vests.

The only one that should give a dang about what you are wearing, or what you are riding, Should Be You.

Just calling them sneakers is old school cool! When I first came to California (75) no one knew what sneakers were.

WHAT?!? I can't hear you for my loud pipes!

Oh, wait. Maybe the sneakers are a sort of resonance noise blanking device that cancels out the sound of the loud pipes.

And when I started this thread I forgot the mantra. If you have to ask, you wouldn't understand.

Ditto to 6Gun......wear what you want. Never had white sneakers that stayed white long anyway.
