an average day in a kilt?

[Don Patrick]

Anyone ride a motorcycle? How do you handle that in a kilt? Just curious, I'm beginning the process of obtaining my first kilt - and do ride extensively.

There have been posts regarding that in the past, as a guy who has had a bike for over 20 yrs I say for me the two just do not mix. I've seen too many idiots on the road who just do not see me, so when I ride I leave the kilt at home.

I sold my bike a few months ago. But, I could not agree more!

I would have to agree with this. While I am not a rider, I have seen what can happen to those who are not adequately protected in the case of an accident.

Bikers wear their denim and leather for reasons other than looking "bad". If something happens on the road, it's the only thing between you and the pavement.

while not a motorcycle, i do commute full time on a vintage p series vespa. the idea of just keeping everything covered up kilted is a little hard to imagine. let alone the thought of sliding across pavement with nothing separating my bum from the asphalt. ouch ouch ouch

ay mate,
two wheels and a motor, handlebar and a rider. It's a motorcy
cle.
The idea of keeping everything covered up kilted is not a problem for me. Now, for sliding along the pavement on m'bum, I've designed this method. I don't.
Of course someone of yall could say it's inevitable that you'll eventually have an accident. I say, "You crash, I'll learn from your blood."
Like I said before, I let others speak for themselves about their cycling fears. I speak for myself when it comes to what I ride while wearing clothing.

To the Supermarket, General shopping at exclusive stores like K-mart, Target, Walmart, Home depot, Hungry Jacks etc.
To the movies, Mall, Post office. wherever I normally go.
Kind of like wearing shorts but without having your "Boys" squashed.

I eat, drink (alcohol, tea coffee etc), go hillwalking, visit the family, travel, camp, look at the people who are looking at me and smile, spend hours each day on XMarks, etc etc. All whilst wearing the kilt.

Just exactly what I would otherwise do in trousers or shorts.

I discovered some years ago that you can do in the kilt whatever you would do in trousers or shorts, and some things much easier ( wont go into those !).

Everyone's already nailed it right on the head. Pretty much you CAN do whatever you normally do in pants. The better question is what "shouldn't" you do in a kilt. And for that answer I suggest your read the Thread "Kilt Do's and Don'ts".

Cheers!
