Default Riding your Hog in Shorts

Now that the weather is starting to break a little up here and riding season has started I have to ask. Do you or have you ever ridden you Harley in shorts? My personal feelings are shorts are for golf, picnics, hanging out and working out. I have to admit every time I see someone riding a bike with shorts it makes me cringe. Girls on the back, that’s another story.

So be honest, are you a short wearing biker? (yes running up to the store counts)

Might as well throw on the flip flops and be a complete dork...

no shirt, no shoes, no lid, no glasses... just a thong in summer.

now, ask about oil preferences.

honestly i think if you wear shorts on the scooter you are a complete dipstick... i had a wreck in 07 and came out with very little road rash to legs, went down at 70mph....you tell me what wouldve happened if i had on shorts... when my wife rides with me i demand she wears jeans and boots... thankfully shed rather wear that than shorts on the bike... and besides the factor of a crash tearin your legs up....they look like one big dufus!!

Never,Ever,ever. I came up on a guy who had a relatively low speed lay down after a dumb bicyclist decided to do a U turn from the shoulder without looking and knocked him down. Nasty, nasty with 25cent piece size chunks of flesh missing. I wear full leather even when it's warm. ( granted it does not get that hot here.)
