I'm thinking about buying a pair of leather pants, (not chaps) for an upcoming road trip. I was wondering what others find positive or negative about them.

I have some leather pants (HD FXRG Line) but only wear then in winter/spring and may pack them when touring in case I hit **** weather. Know that I live in the North where the Rocky Mountains are only a half hour ride, and we get some nasty front through here when caught out on a ride. The FXRG line is rain proof, and will protect my *** if I ever lay her down at 70mph.
In town I wear jeans, and when doing some local loops I wear my chaps. The FXRG's are for inclimate weather and have saved my *** more then once. And no, I don't dance and I don't wear a leather cap. lol

45 degree's, that summer for me. I live in Western Canada and I ride all year long wherethe occasionalday in December thruFebmight pop up to around 32-38 for daytime highs. Typically I get in about 12-15 winter rides as long as there's dry pavement and a day offair weather to be found in between snow falls. Keeps the battery charged and me grinning!

Hey there,
My wife and I wore chaps when we picked up our bike. It was 106 degrees, I thought life as ending very soon but to me it was worth it to feel safe just in case. My chaps are fairly thick which proved later on to be a great decision. I had a buddy that wore leather pants but he only rode in Alaska plus he only weighed a buck-25 on a good day. If you really like the look then get the chaps with the frilly things hanging off the sides....Pops

Are you working at the Y-M-C-A? Leather pants look great on the hottie at the end of the bar, but other wise??? Chaps when it cold and then take them off when I get to work. It would not look too great in the factory..
BTW...This has been discussed before.[sm=deadhorse.gif]
