"So wrong... on so many different levels."

Simple rules to live by:
Never bother the guy in the bar, sitting there crying in his beer.
Don't mock a man wielding a broad sword, regardless of how much you really want to.
(A Claymore, I believe, 18th century, yes?)

LOOK OUT!!!!

WHO CARES WHAT CENTURY..GET BACK!!

What I want to know is if its possible to ride an XS in a Kilt.

I ask because I too own one... except mine is a Utility Kilt, and is slightly more practical for everyday usage.

Yes it is a claymore, don't know the ventage: I borrowed it for the purpose of this photo. It is my kilt, however.

I have a Utilikilt too. I sometimes wear it about the house on hot Summer nights when I've laid in a supply of scotch and ale. The downside (?) is my wife won't keep her hands off of me because she knows I like to go "Regimental!"

Sure, you can wear a kilt and ride any bike. Not practical though. Unless of course ye happen to be an exibitionist.
I ride to the Games, pack my kilt, and put it on over my pants, then take my pants off.

NOT if the seat is black...and you live in the Texas sun....

Yes, the best games are played with one's pants off. Like nude "Twister", or naked "Leap-Frog".

I've got the workman's Utilikilt, it's got modesty snaps, but I'm REALLY CURIOUS to see how ridin' a bike would work. I think I'll probably use your method, however, of changing into the kilt AT the event.

Now all I need to know is how to sport a 15th Century Claymore on an XS, and I'll be set...

(actually, being that I play a Japanese persona in the SCA, it's more along the lines of how do I tout a Nodachi on an XS, but now we're just talking symmantics)

The Scotsman's Kilt
(Mike Cross - who I hope forgives me for the hacking of his song)

A Scotsman clad in kilt sat on his XS fair
And one could tell by how he sat it was warmer than he cared
He moved around until he could finally keep his seat
Then rumbled off down the drive to ride into the street.

chorus:
Ring ding diddle diddle i de o
Ring di diddle i o
He rumbled of down the drive to ride into the street.

Later on two young and lovely girls just happened by,
And one says to the other with a twinkle in her eye
You see yon riding Scotsman who is young and handsome built
I wonder if it's true what they don't wear beneath their kilt.

Ring ding diddle diddle i de o
Ring di diddle i o
I wonder if it's true what they don't wear beneath their kilt.

They crept up to the riding Scotsman waiting at a light
Then lifted up his kilt about an inch so they could see the sight
And there behold for them to view beneath his Scottish skirt
Was nothing but what God had graced him with upon his birth

Ring ding diddle diddle i de o
Ring di diddle i o
There was nothing there but what God gave upon his birth

They marveled for a moment then one said “we'd best be gone”
But they left a present for the man before they moved along
They took a blue silk ribbon and they tied it in a bow
And placed it ‘neath the Scot's lifted kilt on what it clearly showed

Ring ding diddle diddle i de o
Ring di diddle i o
Around the bonnie spar that the Scot's lifted kilt did show

The Scotsman sat and pondered what had happened in the while
and rode off on his Yamaha having gone about a mile
Then finally in a proud voice he says to what's between his thighs
He said, "I thought it was the bike they liked but it’s I who won first prize!"

Ring ding diddle diddle i de o
Ring di diddle i o
He said, "I thought it was the bike they liked but it’s I who won first prize!"



I've never ridden in a kilt... but I have worn a skirt when riding. Usually with shorts beneath... but there are times when you throw caution to the wind... among other things.

In response to the bard

Knewsom: o.k. here’s the trip. When ye sit on yer bike ye tuck the front of yer kilt underneath yer family jewels. Then the backside must be secured as well. And ye must remember to not rise up for speed bumps, and potholes, otherwize ye will give away the answere to that age auld riddle: what does a Scottsman wear beneath his kilt? The answere, of course, is “there’s nothing worn beneath the kilt: it’s all in perfect working order!”

Wildcat: I checked yer profile and wouldn’t ye know it? It wouldn’t tell me if ye were a lad or a lass ! PC = BS I suspect the latter, but thank ye in any event. Yer poem was a hoot!

[DiverRay]

Wildkat is a Lass, and John is the one who gets to heed her beck and call. But then, the little kats alway's seem to be in the way.
Ray

[Wildkat]

Aye... a lass

I... a lass...

Glad you enjoyed the poem... I certainly enjoyed your pic... William Wallace would be proud.

As for John being at my beck and call, Ray... not so certain that is the case... I'll reserve further comment about being his beck and call girl.
(and you learn to adapt when there are kittens around... thank goodness for days off when they are in school)

I don't really think anyone is as interested in the sword as they idea riding an XS with kilt to the wind ... but I figured I'd throw my little bit of knowledge in on this one.

The sword is actually a replica of the Robert the Bruce claymore, circa 1320ish. The two features that lead me to this conclusion is the pummel and the guard. This sword should be approx 56 inches in length and about 25-35 lbs.

Kinda makes you understand the look in his eyes, lol.

Same way I do ... strap that puppy to your back. I made my out of a few scrap strips of leather. Throw it over my right shoulder to my left hip, hook it to my belt ... and slide the claymore in!!! That way, it rides against your back, with the tip off to the left of your seat.

Now, if SWMBO is riding with ... you'd be stabbing her left thigh with the tip ... but that's a different issue all together.
