Never once thought about how they look to other people while being worn.I always wear mine for me and the protection they provide.Is that what riding a motorcycle means to some of you?Wow! you are missing out on what riding a motorcycle is all about.
I hate wearing chaps. But I damn sure do if it's cold enough. I'd rather ride and look a little goofy than either sitting at home or freezing my a$$ off.
Stops the cold wind, and cheaper than skin grafts.
If we switch to shorts and flip-flops, that'd attract the younger buyers. At least that appears to attract the sweet young things riding on the back of sport bikes.
I must say I do like the sweet young things on the sport bikes with their thongs.... I have taken many wrong turns behind them.
I'll admit, they do look good on women - but on old geezers who ride baggers, not so much. I hereby declare an end to chaps. Harley is struggling, it needs to attract a younger buyer. You dudes in chaps are scaring them away.
Some beards on guys do not lok good on dudes. May not look good on women....but that is where CHOICES fit in. You think that "fuel tank for a fart machine" t-shirt is happening? "My bald spot is a solar panel for a sex machine."....another good t-shirt.
Sorry, but I wear chaps when the temps dip down to 'cold'.
I don't wear chaps to attract your ol'ladies. (a funny t-shirt would suffice)
