This.

I use 'em to and from work to keep the bugs off my slacks. It's a whole lot easier taking off a pair of chaps in the parking lot than changing pants.

Plus, after trying them on a trip from Salt Lake to Beartooth Highway, I don't see why you wouldn't want them. Poured so hard we couldn't see through the rain. After taking the chaps off, my pants needed less than an hour to dry and we were good to hit the town. Gay? Fine. Useful? Yep.

I paid $50 bucks for mine (H-D) from a friend. I wear them when its cold. I dont wear them when its hot. I wear them inside the store when I'm riding. There mine I paid for them and I'll wear them anywhere I dam* well please.
I could give two shi*s if you like it or not. If they are a hit on your manhood then that is the least of your worries.
Use all availble tools to make your ride as comfortable as you can thats what I say.

If you ever come riding here in Australia you're going to have to leave you colt 45 at home 'cause handguns are illegal and without that you don't wanna be seen ridin in a pair of chaps. LOL

well i really have a conundrum now , last night i ordered some perforated chaps to ride in warmer weather so i guess thats my 3rd strike on the gay agenda , but this morning the hot rock-a-billy chick that checked me out at wal-mart told me "you make me almost wish i wasnt gay" so you see my problem ...i am going more and more gay while turning gays more and more straight

First, Thanks on the bike complement. I can never get enough of those. Handguns in Australia are illegal and almost impossible to get a permit for. I carry one when I'm working but I'm a cop. And the main reason us cops carry is in case we see anyone wearing chaps. It's rarely cold enough down here to wear something like that. Leather pants and Kevlar jeans are acceptable and standard but unless you're in the Village People you need to leave the chaps at home. Better still, post 'em to France. They'd love 'em. LOL

Mathews, The wife was disappointed you noticed the bike and not her. I told her if I spent some more time on a site where the subject matter was women, maybe she'd get noticed. Now don't think I didn't notice your bike. I did, but I need to know whether you really wear those assless leathers before I start throwing too many complements your way. Call me oldschool.

There's a rule for chaps...
When it's 85 degrees and dry, you look pathetic with chaps. When it's cold and/or wet, you look smarter then the guy who doesn't wear some. When it's bike week, and you spend hours at the bar in your chaps, you're either a moron, or a cowboy.
Same goes for do-rags. If you have long hair, and don't wear a helmet, they are a good idea. Don't ask me how I know. They are also usefull in dusk and dawn, to avoid bugs in your hair. But if you wear them all day long, on or off the motorcycle, you're either a guy who watched too many bad movies, or you're a pirate.
everything has its time and purpose.
