    There have been posts regarding that in the past, as a guy who has had a bike for over 20 yrs I say for me the two just do not mix. I've seen too many idiots on the road who just do not see me, so when I ride I leave the kilt at home.

    I sold my bike a few months ago. But, I could not agree more!

    I would have to agree with this. While I am not a rider, I have seen what can happen to those who are not adequately protected in the case of an accident.

    Bikers wear their denim and leather for reasons other than looking "bad". If something happens on the road, it's the only thing between you and the pavement.
