Anybody ever seen a harleydood in an Aerostitch? Lots of complaints about price for the suits especially. Odd when some dudes will spring for every farkle known to man and woman (I'm being PC today) on a bike like luggage that is big enough to tour both continents and never go near a store or a laundry, GPS's that will guide you to and fro to Walmart in East Timor, communications devices that allow speaking to almost anyone alive or dead (well almost) in the universe and holler about price when the Aerostitch is just as good on the next bike as it is on the current bike. Mthinks the hollerers are mostly the same dudes that do the vroom-vrooms.
Nope. Never have. It's fairly rare to see a Harley guy in real protective gear. I see the occasional full face helmet here, but quite often out here in Cali they are geared like they just walked off SoA set. Tennis shoes, jeans, etc. I must admit, guiltily, that if I was riding a Harley I'd probably cave to the pressure and ride similarly. Maybe I shouldn't buy one just for that reason alone.
Being cooler (temp wise) here and living just a rock throw from 101 the harleydoods bundle up in leather (black of course). Full face helmets are not.. I must disagree on some harleydoods not wearing protective gear and I have proof!! http://www.thepunch.com.au/images/uploads/nude-bikie.gif If you get one, not that you are a vroom-vroom guy, but you would have to be obligated to learn the Potato-Potato mantra..
