I used to think that the cowboy outfit -- hat, boots, hubcap-sized buckle, etc. -- was eternally unfit for anything but herding cattle until I realized that (1) a fully dressed cowboy probably had close to $1500 worth of stuff on him and (2) one wouldn't wear his "good clothes" just to rope calves.

Best part was catching my son oogling a biker chick in leather chaps fueling up her bike at the pump next to us at the gas station...if my wife hadn't been there I would have had to say, "Hot, huh? Still think bikers are all some lower form of life?"
LOL. At our motorcycle meeting during lunch today, I caught myself wondering how I'd get away wearing my kilt at our next group ride. Sadly, I had to shake off the thought since our group advocates proper use of personal protective equipment. Oh well...
