I like fingerless gloves so when I get bored on the slab I can set the cruise control and play my banjo. Chaps if it's chilly out.

Do Sportster riders play mandolins?

I just don't understand what all the commotion is about. As long as you're not in my space, I say, "God bless you and carry on."

You're a genius. On this forum, it's all about people telling other people what's acceptable and how to enjoy their ride. Usually, one keyboard warrior decides he's cooler than another and lays down the law. I'm a rub, but my wife doesn't mind and she still puts out most of the time when I'm in the mood.

Why don't you fall off one time with chaps? Then go back and fall off without chaps. The light bulb might go on then, even if it is a little dim.

There are many on this forum who wish they had the ***** you've displayed in only your second post. You do realize no one gives a ****, right?

If that's the case then why don't you wear over pants that protect your ***, the place so often shorn of skin in a wreck.

Again, I don't care what one wears but if protection from a fall is what you want and it isn't just about looks then there are so many better options.
