RE: Do you wear short pants while riding?
I was in shorts and deck soes going for a putt around the lake in 110 degree heat. At a stop a guy gave me the rd *** because I wasn't wearing aisle 3-7 at the local H-D store. I told him I did think I had to look like him to be a rebel. I am a big boy and will pick my own line. I know it is a lack of judgement but it is a personal choice.

You're absolutely right. I have seen a lot of road rash and hamburger in my day and like the personal protective equipment I wear. My issue was the conformist rebel guy who looked like a stunt man for the Village People. He wasn't bitching about safety. He didn't like that I looked different. I thought it was ironic.

No never, I personally would feel like a real winnie doing that. My opinion , most guys over 40 should'nt wear them out in public anyhow. You could turn into a 70 yr old wearing knee length formal shorts, White drees shoes and white socks up to your knees.
