Are You A Pirate?

I scored a 2-3 so probably not much of a pirate. The riding boots are a requirement for me and I can't imagine why anyone rides a street bike without a good pair of sturdy leather boots. I wear a doo rag under my helmet simply to keep the sweat off my head and helmet liner. And I occasionally wear a leather vest, but more often just wear a plain black leather jacket to protect my skin. I also wear Kevlar lined jeans which apparently aren't part of the pirate outfit so I'm kind of at a loss of identity at this point. I may start wearing a sword and get a peg leg and parrot though for Halloween.

I have a mesh jacket with the HD logos. I got it because it was $100 and wanted a mesh jacket. I use it if I'm leaving town.
I have this leather jacker I won several years ago that has white flames on the sleeves and a large "Full Throttle" embroidered on the back. It's too flashy for me. It's a good jacket though. If I'm too cheap to buy a jacket this fall, I'll wear the one I won.
I wear a bandana under my helmet to keep it fresh and wear the bandana when I opt to not use the helmet so I don't get sunburned on my head.
I wear hiking boots when I travel out of the neighborhood but wear my high top sneakers around my area. I wear natural colored gloves I picked up at Sears for $10. The're as good as any of the unlined HD stuff for 1/3 the cost.
I'm not sure how I look to other but I never cared. I wear what I wear.
But since I was a Sailor, who knows?
