Default Death to Chaps

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.

Cool Cow Hide First

Well If by chance you have a flat or some nice person in a hurry knocks you down i'd let the chaps enjoy first contact and the slide their after. To me it is like sending a fire fighter to a fire with out a fire suit. So for me its Cow Hide First then me!!!!!!!!!

What part of " Who gives a sh*t what other people wear, don't you understand"?

Spend you energy riding, not worrying about who looks good in Chaps, AKA Assless Chaps.

Yep, I usually only wear mine when it's cold outside. Silly looking or not, they make a cold ride a lot more fun!

You haven't lived until you come out of a restaurant at night and it's so cold that you just have to put the chaps on. And then as your getting into them you realize that you're being closely watched by a fine looking woman. Made me want to take them off and start over. By the way, who you calling old geezer, you young punk.

Dude ! If I catch u lookin at me getting off my Ultra checking me out , your gonna wish u had cow between me & you , and more importanly the hard ground! I sure don't wear them as a fashion statment , nor have I bought Harley's to be in fashion , when it's cold , they go on. Now go climb on ur daddy's dream machine and head down to the honda dealer to drool over that fury thingy , you younger wippesnappers might consider the same as a Harley. Wanna know the dif? it's kinda like sex and masturbation , one IS doing the real thing , other you just THINK you are!

I had a non-riding dip **** at work give me crap when I was taking off my chaps after riding to work. I told him to try riding 55 MPH in 35 degrees in just jeans. He's not man enough to try, & I don't care
