Harley riders

[Berries]

Now don't take this the wrong way. I was out in the pissing rain today and saw a couple of feet forward Harleys coming towards me, figured they would be bad ass with jeans on but no, they had waterproof trousers over the top.

With your feet sticking way out further than your hands though, doesn't the water go up your legs and then into your boots?

Just asking.

...the water blowing up your legs keeps the water around your arse, where it is accumulating, hence retaining warmth to the pink bits...simple really...

Not with me - elastic around the bottom of the water-proof pants keeps out the water pretty well.
Plus I wear gaiters just to make sure.

Ride in the rain. Not likely.

Not every HD has forward controls.

Ever seen the look on a salesmans face when you ask "can ya' replace those fuckin' things with mid mounts ?

Priceless.

If you want to see an epolleptic fit -try telling em you want rearsets n clipons.

At my age, every time I sit down with my feet up like that I fall asleep. So I don't do the Harley thing.

I would be more worried about the wasps

In the olden days, before full face helmets, I got a wasp stuck up between my forehead and the top of the helmet. World record still stands (I think) for the fastest ever dismount and removal of helmet.

(Actually - on a Harley Diddleson your legs go numb from the vibration - so you don't feel when they get wet ... )

my worse one was when a wasp was stuck behind my sunglasses. tried to stop before he got me but too late - both eyes automatically shut when it started stinging - wasn't much fun trying to stop when I couldn't open my eyes
