Boy the standards for getting a Man Card sure have dropped haven't they ?

You never heard it 25 yrs ago cause it was cool back then haha Times they are a changin'

You USED to see alot of different things in the past - bell bottoms, moustaches, (no offence to the current 'moustache guys") tight jeans, white pants, paisley vests, turtle necks, head bands etc...

Times change and so does "fashion" If its gear you are wanting for riding - no problem -- there are other options that dont look as lame, "gay", ugly lol whatever you want to call it - leather is a bad look (nothing to do with "gay" just bad overall - pretty simple.

Who gives a **** if a guy thinks you look gay. Dressing for the approval of other guys IS gay.

the only joke i have ever heard about my chaps, one of my old buddies used to give me hell saying they were bull ridin chaps as they were so thick, heavy and brown instead of black. never heard a village people joke. But then again most of the places i go, people are smart enough not to make dumb@ss comments.

But then there is tradition. Traditional stuff is things we did long before all you young-uns got here. I say, f*ck what the current status qou is. Some folks just need to learn a little respect.

That's mostly just this forum. One thing I've noticed is that, out in the real world, riding a Harley, I never meet the sissy-boys that post here about being afraid of everything from falling off their bike to wearing the wrong clothes.

Heck, sometimes we ride with a guy up in his 70's who always wears shorts, a t-shirt, deck shoes with no socks anmd a bandana around his neck. Reminds me of Mr. Howell from Gilligan's Island. He's more of a biker than most people that post here and puts on a lot more miles.
