I can understand the reason for wearing assless chaps... I can even understand the reason for fingerless gloves...

But a vest?

Never wore one... I don't understand the reasoning for wearing one...

But hey... I live in the south and we don't get out much...

All part of the total package. It would be like going out wearing only 1 sock.
A vest is what makes us real bikers, right?

It's like when I used to put saran wrap on my windshield and then pull it off and replace it when it got all covered with bugs. You use the cheaper Vest to protect your expensive leather Jacket from all the bug guts and bug chit also. You must remember that it's not only bug guts that get on you, if they have eaten they have bug chit in them too.
