This weekend is "Bike Fest" in Leesburg Florida, they expect about 250,000
motorcycles there, I'm going KILTED. Don't expected any problems. Never do.
Maybe a few ignorant comments for the alcohol impaired, but not much more.
I don't believe the idea is to arrive in heaven in a well preserved body! But to slide in side ways,Kilt A' Fly'n! Scream'en "Mon Wha A Ride" Kilted Santas

I went, prekilt, to a large motorcycle gathering on my bicycle, in my lycra. I got some strange looks, but I was blessed along with all the various motorized vehicles there. I even got to meet one of my favorite local radio personalities.
I was once asked by my (then) wife not to wear a kilt to walk the dog when we were vacationing in Redding, California. SHE was afraid I would be jumped by locals; on reflection, I'm not sure they could have been bothered, but I complied at the time.

I would not wear my kilt (or shorts) when riding my motorcycle because I fear the consequences of bare skin making contact with the road surface. Apart from that I have never been afraid to wear a kilt.
I am considering whether it is wise to wear a kilt to the Army v Navy Rugby Game this coming weekend. (2May09) I was thinking about wearing my DPM (camouflage) drinking kilt with an Army Rugby Union shirt, but is this in danger of being conduct unbecoming for a middle aged army officer? Especially as my CO will be there with her father who is by all accounts a rather splendid retired WW2 officer. Maybe I'll get away with being eccentric.
I could wear my hodden grey but its been attacked by moths and there is a little hole not quite hidden by my sporran (Don't get me going on moths B... every one of them.)
The 'Eathen in his idleness bows down to wood and stone,
'E don't obey no orders unless they is his own,
He keeps his side arms awful,
And he leaves them all about,
Until up comes the Regiment and kicks the 'Eathen out.

now this I would be interested to know, I was considering the same.
Would you not get more stick supporting the army and living in pompy.
Just as a matter of interest what regimental bar are you drinking in? And for what is worth I dont think its ever unbemomming, should have seen the sate some of the officers were in last year

They sent us to Pompey, I would not live here for any other reason - its a dump.
I'll be in the AMS bar - but I'm RVing with the rest of my Regt (all 12 of us) in Knellar Hall in the morning to watch the vets and the ladies. I may have a warmer or 2 into the bank there as well - especially as they charge very reasonable rates compared to Twikers.
I plan to move onto the Patch for post match conviviality. ith: I have also been wondering about suitable headgear. Being folically challenged I need to wear a hat to keep off the sun. I may go for an ACU jungle (boonie) hat or I could get out the pith helmet.
PS: I don't remember the state anybody was in last year - I don't remember a great deal after about midday. There were some interesting photos on ARRSE. Fortunately none of me.

I will look out for you, with the pith helmet you should be easy to spot, my pre match warm up will be in the sigs bar, and I should think that by the end of the game my good lady wife will be wanting to get me home post haste, given the state I normally get into !! If you see a 6'5" 20 stone geezer in an army rugby shirt, with Bowser written on the back say hello ;-)
Not sure if I am wearing the kilt or not yet, simply because I don't want to damage it, there were quite a few on show last year !
