When I wear shorts, it looks like I'm riding a chicken.

No shorts or thongs when riding. (no flip flops either)

Impossible. When you buy a harley you have to make love to a 300 lb fat woman before you get the keys. At least thats how they do it around here. Please tell me I wasn't scammed by that fat chick I bought my bike from.

I've seen a few guys wearing shorts around here but not that many. Can't imagine anything crazier than wearing shorts/flip-flops on a bike. Just too damn many hot things.

'Nuff said about the "homo" comment; as far as shorts, I've got 2-inch round scar on my right calf from the first and last time I wore shorts....

I have never seen anyone on a Harley with flip flops. Shorts, yes and I do sometimes myself on short rides. Safe, no, but that's my business. As far as the homo thing, man I have not heard that as a catch all in a long time. I really could care less if someone is gay or not, that is non of my business.

I'll take a short spin to the store or to test ride after wrenching if I've already got shorts on. If I'm getting dressed with the intention to go ride it's always jeans. Seems like I always burn my leg one way or another in shorts. Never wear flip flops though. If there's not a boat and a lake in my near future they're buried in my closet.
