Woman look good in them:

[Buzz Kanter]

I sure hope - and will do whatever I can to make sure this motorcycle forum doesn't turn into a place where one person tells another how to dress or what to wear. And yes, I agree a lot of women do look good in them.

I simply never understood the popularity so I asked. The Village People line was just poking fun Now I have a better idea of why and when people wear them.

Personally, I still feel odd wearing them on or off the bike. But that's just me.

Like has been said, it helps for a wind break and an impromptu rain suit. I just found the rain suit out the other day when riding through a flash shower that turned into a down pour. Ya know a great day for riding just a little cloud over there then the bottom falls out of it and turns into a turd floater, had on my leathers and was dry as a bone. Oh yeah being raised on a farm when I was a boy we would wear them hauling hay, that alfalfa, and sudex hay goes through Levis like crap through a goose!

I read once that denim, wears through in ten feet, leather takes about one hundred+-, depending on the leather.
Just like your mama said, “wear protection.”
I put mine away in the winter, and wear winter gear.
They are a hassle to put on for a short ride, but if I am going anywhere, over a fifty miles and it is “Nice” not to hot or cold, I wear them.
I take them off when I stop, feel a little funny while not on the bike, they are heavy, hot.
I Have explained many time why bikers wear leather.
When people say something about the Village people, I just say “Who? Not into that stuff, but since you are I don’t have a problem with that.”
Then I just kind of back away from them and grin.
