Modern Vespa

I'll admit it. I've worn them on the scooter. I've also had them for... more than ten years so I'm used to wearing them on road trips. Leather pants/chaps are pretty nice actually, especially when you have rock chips flying into your legs on a non scooterish type machine. Bugs, all that kind of thing is very easy to clean off chaps as opposed to any type of fabric.

The last thing I think I'd want is one pair of leather pants for scooter riding. One good sweat in those things and it would suck ever after lol.

You folks might think they're some sort of fashion accessory but the first guy who used em on a bike probably took some grief too. Until other riders realized chaps make a lot of sense.

Its kind of funny that some folks here are judging "chaps" as a riding accessory. Like matching helmet colors to the bike colors.

Look, if you (you in general, as in whoever happens to be reading this) want to wear chaps for protection and you prefer them over leather pants for your own reasons, stop worrying about the fashion police.

I would tell you what I think wearing chaps while riding a scooter means to me, but then I also bet some people would buy em just for that reason.

Why do bikers wear leather?


Chifon wrinkles in the heat

Very nice....but they are a bit 'Brokeback Mountain' if you get my meaning

Think I'll stick with the levi's for now. Go better with the Harrington Jack for that quintessential MOD look here in the UK. Plus, It's bllody cold to be wearing arseless troosers across here

Might get a response pulling up at the local Harley garage though

I still know the words to that song.

I taught it to my kids when they were about 5.... my wife is still pissed.

I think Mickey would look darling in these.

You know it has been a long day.......but are they on backwards ???

Yep there on backwards

Ugh, and they match her shoes! That's a modern vespa rider for sure.
Who told her she looked good wearing that?

I'm off work tomorrow and am going to look for a pink pair just like those to take a pic by my scoot for my real avatar - not really but sounds good! I do want a pretty blue pair though...

on Wednesdays I go shopping, and have buttered scones for tea.. 8)

I chop down trees,
I skip and jump.
I like to press wildflowers.
I put on assless chaps,
and hang around in bars!

crotchless chaps?

Before anyone else says it, crotchless chaps with crotches are called pants.

Buy me a pair and I'll wear them just for you, Spock.

I have no shame.

LOL. If you ride like that in a gay part of town I am sure you will get alot of pretty smiles.

I thought of wearing ass less chaps, especially in cold weather riding. But for now, I will put up with the cold.

Not gay

Do you know how much those things cost? Now I know why the village people were into so much blow.
