Jim,

I have been reading this thread but had nothing to add to it since my 61' Vespa hasn't been ridden in almost 10 years (so little time so many projects )

But I think I can give you a good XMTS analogy to why our experienced motorcyclists are so strong in their opinions about this subject.

Often someone will post to the Celtic Musicians forum with a question for our resident pipers. That questions being

"Hi I'm interested in learning the bagpipes. What pipes should I buy?"

Without fail our experienced pipers state that the would-be piper should not buy a set of pipes but instead find a good teacher and then purchase a practice chanter with that teacher's input.

I think that for what it is worth the answer A. C. gave on how to wear a kilt on your motorcycle is probably the best answer out there. However I have a lot of respect for all those that offered their experience thinking about the safety aspects of riding and were trying to help keep another rider safe.

Cheers

Jamie :ootd:
