like riding a bike .... :)

[awoodfellow]

kilts have meant a lot to me over the last couple years. and now that i have about 8 hours of kilt time, i've got to say ... liberation has arrived.

i hope this doesn't sound a bit vertiginous, however, i've been de-briefed, as it were, for several years. [of course with the following caveat] .. purely for comfort. the kilt has extended that comfort to a new level. i just can't imagine anything more comfortable than being kilted. i suspected as much and have not been disappointed.

for those lurking in the hidden pleats of this board, now is the time. now is the time to find the revelation that so many before us have found.

and if you find yourself in question, faltering or having second thoughts, or shrink shoulders on someone's mis-guided remarks, remember that you have the whole of Xmarks standing with you. and that is no small sum.

and so i end this note with a small retort to "whats under yer kilt thar bub" ...

"me hose an' gillies" says I! ( and let them sort it out )

ambrose!
kilted at last....
and none too soon!

What we lack in numbers we make up for with blue ribbons.

I heartily agree. Give it a try, and you won't go back. Just don't take the topic too literally and try to actually ride a bike kilted
As an added bonus, wearing a kilt makes the ladies that wouldn't normally give you a second glance go "Oooh!" and turn and watch YOU go by. There aren't many ways for a mug like mine to turn heads, and it's a hell of a lot easier than becoming a fireman

And if you're still too nervous to try it, then try taking a drive to a town where you won't be recognized, and wear one for a night out. When you see how much fun you have, they'll have to pry* the damn thing off you. Your mind -- and other parts of your anatomy -- will be freed!

*This meant figuratively, but depending on just how much fun, and what type of fun you had, it may also be taken literally.

Well done Ambrose, I think getting into or back to kilting is like a personal revelation. It comes at the right time in our lives. I wish I had started earlier but I'm happy now to be comfortable with a kilt.

I'm glad that you are rediscovering the benefits!

Kilting is definately a different lifestyle. Wearing a kilt will change your life. And, the lives of those around you.

Now that's an understatement!

Riding a bike ( motorcyle ) in a Kilt-- I'm gonna try that, sounds breezy
