And just exactly what constitutes a real biker? What the hell do "real bikers" wear?
I have been riding since 1970, and put a lot of miles on my bike. I choose to wear shorts and a tee or tank in the summer. You can choose to burn your *** off all you want in your jeans, but I will be comfortable. I do wear jeans etc. back and forth to work, but just as soon as I get home, those are off and the shorts are on.
There is virtually no heat discomfort in shorts, as it lets the air in and the boys don't need to be covered in powder and such to stay comfortable.
I know the risks, and fully accept them. I personally believe in quality of life, over quantity of life. For what it's worth, jeans aren't going to provide much more protection than just shorts in the unfortunate event of putting the bike down. The road will eat through that in milleseconds.
Each to their own, just sayin'.
