I don't like to go on rants about this sort of thing but lately I have to take issue with one of the most worthless pieces of riding gear that seem to be part of the "uniform" for the cruiser set. Chaps! There are everywhere. Saturday during a stop on my ride a group of 10 HDs were stopped and 18 out of 20 riders/passengers had on black chaps!

Same thing in Gatlinburg and the Smokies Sunday and today!
As someone who has experienced doing a perfect hook slide into a ditch via the asphalt and has seem many videos of same, I know you spend time on your butt cheeks when this happens. Chaps don't cut it! Chaps are for cowboys!
The only thing chaps do is show off a good posterior and frankly, I ain't interested in most of the ones I see encased in chaps.

Get some real riding gear. Heck, Draggin' Jeans look better and probably work better!
There, I feel better now.
