Considering this is rawhide's hangs out, it explains why he owns the clothes and wants to wear spurs. It also explains why he is proud to screw with ****.

Respect, Sir, you are one tough guy. Chaps AND martial arts? Hard to beat. I'm sure you also get the hot chicks, like Nancy P. or Hilary C. You are my hero, Rawhide.

My wife bought me some spurs many years ago. I tried using them to shift when I had my feet on the highway pegs ( I had mid controls ). It didn't work for **** and I told her that. She said "I didn't buy them for you to use on the bike dumazz". Well go figure. Anyway, congrats Rawhide. Stinky side up dude.

You could always put the spurs on when you get to work. Make sure you get the the kind that go "klink-klink" when you walk.

Thank you Frenchman,thank you very much!Yes it's true hot chicks are attracted to moi,when I drop off a load of portable toilets many times there are female construction workers on site who are thrilled to see a man such as myself and I have the phone numbers to prove it!
