Orange County Choppers - Kilted!

Yep, much better than I expected as well Bryan.

And the section with the reenactors took place at Melville Castle....where the wife and I were in August. Great memories, can't wait to go back!

I thought it was good as well. I will re-post the question I had on the other thread, which is what tartan/kilt is Paul Jr. wearing? I like the fact that it appears to be a tartan from the front, but the pleats show a saltire. Very cool!

That's the Saltire Tartan. Saw it at a wedding earlier this year in Edinburgh. See it at www.saltiretartan.com
It is very cool.

Paul Sr looked downright menacing in a kilt. Riding the scooters kilted looked nice and airy ;-) Paul Jr sure did wimp out at Melville Castle.

hehe, good point Bryan, but I think Paul Sr. would look menacing in a tutu.

I agree! I had not seen AC in a while and had forgotten how massive Paul Sr's arms were. when he was riding the old (1969?) BSA bike, he is so large he made it look like a mini-bike!

Yeah, the guy is huge, monstrous big: but did you notice he was told to stretch, ignored the advice, and threw his back out on the first swing he took playing cricket? I was a tad embarrased at the way they hassled the tour guide and cooked a set of minivan tires as well: I'm not certain they did much to improve the view many overseas folks fhave of Americans in general.

Bryan...well, except for Mikey...

And very d$%^&d expensive! Just checked the site and they list the Saltire 8 yard tartan kilt for £314.04, which is approx $570 US. Too rich for my blood. Maybe I will find one used one day. And I know that is in the ballpark for a traditional tank from 16oz wool, but was expecting it was not wool, and possibly not hand sewn.
