Boot Straps... Do you?
#41
I'm 24 and I have pair. I usually throw them on only when I'm doin alot of highway miles. SC to Daytona and such. Not sure how longer pants would help - I mean, if you only ride with your feet on the floorboards, then yeah. My pants only ride up my legs when I'm stretched out on my highway pegs though, not the floorboards. The wind at 80mph catches them every time. I'm not really one to do something to "fit in" - I do what works for me. I do wish they made a better pair that didn't drag the ground - they only get so tight. So on gas and stretch breaks I always gotta take them off.

So, who wears boot straps?
If you do, how old are you? Is it age dependent?
If you don't, do you do anything to prevent your pants from blowing up your leg while riding?
I'm thinking of something like:

As Captain Honors (now former XO of the carrier Enterprise) would say...."gay".
Yeah, I was considering "sleeve straps", "collar straps", "boxer straps", "bandanna straps", and "glove straps" too! But for some reason I just thought it'd be a little goofy...ya think?!
Holy cow...if we need to pay $20 for a flippin fancy little clip to hold our cuffs down...not sure what's become of the riding world. I guess if it's freezing cold, a guy could use a gold-plated safety pin looped through your laces (with HD logos mico-printed on it of course and all the neighbors in your 'burbs could run-out and marvel before their ride around the block - sorry, I digress). To each his own, I guess...but I have never seen them on anyone...though I am not walking around evaluating what guys are "wearing"...<huge sigh>.
Damn...

I've seen young and old wear them.

Wouldn't that velcro hurt when you peeled it off?
I don't have enough leg hair to use velcro.
