Bikers and Kilts

**mbhandy** · 26th May 07, 08:20 AM

I was visting the local Bunny's Bar yesterday and I was just getting ready to walkout the front door When in walked about 20 Harley riders from Salt Lake.
I was wearing the SWK economy Wallace the second guy in said "is that a Wallace Kilt?" I said Yes it is my Grand Father Was Robert Wallace from PEI.
One of the other bikers said his Grand Father was from PEI and He wanted to buy me a drink. A few rounds later I had to walk home

But Not a Skirt remark out of any of those riders and some of them were girls, ladies, Female riders and they all agreed "you got to have b***s to wear a kilt in Coalville"
I told them that when I first started wearing Kilts I got the skirt remark and now it is if I am not wearing a kilt "Hay where's the kilt?

Great story, as a motorcycle rider I have to say it does not surprise me. Bike riders for the most part are tollerant of others that are outside what society calls normal.

I wore my Union Kilts leather kilt visiting the Welsh Motorcycle Show today and got no funny looks at all - even got some compliments!

Bought a leather biker waistcoat there and the two look good together!

If you start in Vancouver, drive east until you run out of land, either get wet or take Confederation Bridge, and there ya go, Prince Edward Island.

PEI = Prince Edward Island

When I was a kid they did not have the bridge and we had to cross by Ferry I was only 5 at the time and we were met by a Cousin in a pony cart. That is mostly what I remember because I had never riden in a cart before. I also remember most of the men were wearing kilts, never seen a man wearing a Kilt and my Grand Father had his on and I never saw him wear it again. We were there for the Wallace clan reunion. That was in the early 50's.
