Ok, I've been dating Alicia for a little over a year now. She took to the passenger seat from the start, and has traveled several thousand miles now and loves it.
But for the last few months she has started talking about how we are wearing the wrong clothes.
Seriously?
We cover everything the law requires, and usually quite a bit extra.
But apparently that is not "Biker" enough.
Well, I showed her pictures of the ATGATT time folks.
Nope, not "Biker" enough.
Last night I cornered her and started trying to figure out what she though a "Biker" look was.
After some heming and hawing, she finally admitted that she saw a couple that rode in to a resturant she was in dressed in fringed leather and bandanas and chaps with chains and chrome everywhere.
Something like this.
Seriously?
I mean I ride 12,000 miles on a slow year, and that's considering that we only get 6-8 months to ride here. I have leathers, I wear them ocassionally, not often on the bike, whatever.
I'm more comfortable in oilskin, and during hot weather, I'm as likely to wear a tanktop, cargo shorts, and flip flops as anythign else. (like today)
And she now wants us to look like the singers that were rejected by the village people...
30 years later.
WTF?
