Kilted Motorcycle Ride

[acstoon]

hmmm... may have to try that...

They must have had a plan because they stopped for a round of caber tossing on the way to the overlook, then back for an after ride meal. Almost makes me wish I had enough hand and foot coordination to ride a motorcycle...

(O.K... and the comely lass who has a really nice pink Burberry Nova Check mini-kilt.)

Trust me... most of us bikers have a plan when we ride... usually involving food & beverage!

Have to say that, that is perhaps the most moronic use of a kilt. This from a former rider.

I couldnt agree more. My safety is much more imporant than being able to say "hey look what can do." A wreck at 60mph in a kilt would result in more damage to sensitive areas than I will ever be willing to risk.

If someone wants to do it, thats their perrogative but I question the sanity of it.

A wreck at that speed no clothing is going to protect those areas. At much slower speeds yes leather or balistic nylon might provide considerable abrasion resistence where as jeans won't. My biggest concern would be having wind catching the kilt causing a distraction to the rider who should be paying attention to all the other idiotic drivers out there (me included).

Truth be told...
I do, actually, always proper gear when riding.... I'm no newbie to bikes... I am well aware of potential consequences. Although I have ridden in shorts, I don't like the sensation of (silly as it sounds) the air rustling my leg hair... it's annoying to me.

Here in Pennsylvania, it is legal to ride helmetless... However, I do wear a helmet, because I choose to... just as I choose to wear a kilt, when I feel like it, and accessorize it any darn way I please.

If these guys want to wear a kilt while riding, one day out of the year... Good for them! I'd much rather see that, then the daily selfish buttcheeses who feel it's necessary to yak on the cell phone while zipping down the road, 24/7.

I am well aware of the consequences of hitting the pavement at high rates of speed, been there done that. Ballistic nylon and leather can save a considerable amount of skin. I agree that the kilt would be distracting, but it could be tied down or tucked in if that is all you are worried about whilst riding kilted.

I ride in full leathers with padded armor that has saved me from serious injury once already. I would hate to think about what my legs would have looked like after hitting the pavement in a kilt.

Sure, but it's fun to watch . . .
