    the answer is simple my friend all you do is take the kilt off before mounting the bike and putting it back on immediately after dismount. Pants would be just too much of a hastle to put on and take off when riding a bike, so be proud of your public indecency. I also do not advise on hitting the pavement too hard do too the lack of protection. Have fun!

    Or, you can just take a belt sander to your private parts and get the same effect. :P

    If I am out on my bike for a few hours then I don't bother to pack a kilt(s).

    If I am going on a longer journey then I pack it(them) with my other luggage but I use a different method than most.

    I fold the kilt into two with the pleats behind and then into two again. I have found that this means they can be neatly carried and I have no wrinkle problems when I take them out at the other end.

    This also works for me in my soft-side suitcase.

    Oh true, but you don't get the "wind through your hair" sensation

    I am going to get a used yamaha roadstar. I used to work on bikes a lot so I want to get something that I won't have to wrench on unless I just decide to do some thing fun with it. which no offense to the harley riders in the rabble means no harleys, that is not to say that some of them don't do very well but I have had to work on way to many of them to feel comfortable putting on the miles on one that I do, around 25-30,000 a year. With the exception of the roadkings and the baggers like that which are very reliable harley seems to cut corners when building the engines for the other bikes. the biggest problem that I have seem on the yamaha's is when some hack mechanic jets the carbs wrong and then run terribly once you fix that though they run great.
