Default Chaps are gay? What about waving..

I've read so many times that "assless" chaps are gay.
Well, guess what...

Here comes the newest form of gay...

I've seen on several occasions, people who wave at everyone. Including the other side of the interstate. These people spent more time with thier hand waving than they did touching the grip!

They looked like they were *ahem* gay and walking thru one of "their" bars waving and saying "hey!" to everyone.

So, I said it first.

Waving is gay....

Start the flames, I can take it...

there ya go. I think waving is a pain. Not everyone does it. Some are too stuck up to wave, its a whole social scene trying to guess who will and who won't. New rule: hands on the bars and only wave to friends.

Call me a snob or clique'e but I only waive to fellow Harley riders. Just a simple low hand off to the side.

Well,

Thanks for letting us know what the newest form of gay is.

and what happens inside of one of "their" bars.

It's good to have a reliable source of information.

Aren't all chaps by definition "assless"? If they had an "***" wouldn't they be pants?
Seems to me that anyone who refers to chaps as "assless" has no clue what they are talking about.
I just sayin...

Chaps are gay? Guess I'm too old to worry about it because I discovered last year, that they're a whole lot warmer than long underwear. I'd rather be warm & look gay, than freezing, but lookin' cool! Look at this pic --- I'm the friendliest guy on the road now ---- I wave to everybody in sight --- bikes, mopeds, pedestrians, you name it.

I crack up when someone on a scooter waves. I'm like, "really, did you just wave to me from that toy your riding?". If I ever do wave back to a scooter jockey, it will be with a single finger. Grow a pair and get a motorcycle.

I agree 100%. I rode to work this morning (5:00) it had been raining, temp in the 50's. So I throw the ol chaps on and head out, not so much for cold but for protection from the splash off the road. Much easier than putting on rain gear (it wasn't raining). Chaps are not gay nor is waving gay. Maybe it's the people worring about these things that are gay.
