Another eBay thread...

[Street_Rat78]

Well, it looks like one can buy just about any thing on eBay. Some of you may remember the "Virgin Mary Grilled Cheese Sandwich" that was on there earlier this year. Then, before that, it was the man selling the wedding dress (which he actually modeled for everyone to see.)

And now there's this:

Damn eBay!!!

[GNEPIG]

.. so Street-Rat, are you considering a set of leather pants?

this guys description is a riot

[Street_Rat78]

No ... I'll leave the leather pants to SWMBO. She looks much nicer in them than I could ever dream of looking. I'm more of a blue jean/chaps kinda guy.

That's actually why I posted it. Figured everyone could use a good laugh. Especially if you take the time to read the questions and his answers.

[Artic_rider]

You got to love the question left for him...LMAO...what a guy will do for a piece of tail!

[Jerry]

Hey, thats good...

Knew there was a reson I went to Cordura over leather.

[John]

That was freakin' hilarious! SWMBO couldn't stop laughing. Now on a little side track...does anybody here actually own any leather pants? Would you admit it if you did? Hell, I feel awkward wearing my chaps (and leather thong) anywhere except for racy Hallowen parties.

[Ken Talbot]

Well, as a matter of fact, SWMBO and I both own and wear leather pants!!

[JWSanders]

lol, that was great.

If you ever see me in leather pants, it may very well be the last thing you see. You'll either die from laughter or your eyes will burn right there in their sockets!

I own and wear leather pants as does SWMBO. In my (too) long career in motorcycling I have fallen numerous time (though not in recent years however) and nearly every time I landed on my ass. After a couple of spills in jeans I finally got the idea that jeans don't prevent pavement rash, they just shred. So why should I leave that part of my anatomy where I'm most likely to need it unprotected? It ain't about looking cool folks, it's about dressing for the crash, not the ride. If I wanted to look cool I'd just wear a beanie, tank top, jeans and chaps like all the Harley guys do around here. Wonder why they even bother with the chaps? Actually a lot of 'em wear shorts! Except when it's too cold to wear tank tops and shorts, then they don't ride at all!

Leather Pants

And to complete the ensemble, don't forget the Mad Max boots and the braided goatee!

HHmmm....

Just noticed, Ken....
Leather pants AND a purple bike!
Well.... I guess I'll just shut up for now.
But then again... they were visiting California, so maybe it's OK.
Alright, I'll shut up, now.

[xs650mike]

You got it, Prometheus. I've got the 17" Chippewas, no braided goatee though. Mustn't frighten the children!

[Ken Talbot]

Now just hang on a second there, prometheus, that purple bike is SWMBO's, it's not mine!! Little bit of helmet hair showing too, but no braided goatee ...

One of my back east friends was flying out from Philadelphia. I had told one of my local friends how folks in Philly like to bust people's chops, just the opposite of the polite laid-back California vibe. The guy from Philly rented a purple Road King in Frisco and rode up here to Lake Co. We went for a ride on some of the local roads and I took him by to meet my local friend. My local friend immediately said (in a perfectly sugary Liberace voice), "Pleased to meet you...I love your purple bike!" LOL

Whoops

My apologies to you, Ken... please give my best regards to your charming wife. I tend to forget that there are ladies who ride and often have their own bikes.
People who used to have braided goatees often seem to make social faux pas'... such as having braided goatees.

. Mustn't frighten the children!

... was considered somewhat intimidating-looking back then... but just plain cranky, now.
