      shit, I wear my IH gear to teach fitness classes at a gym and sitting behind a computer marketing vacation rentals… I'm the epitome of a person not using the gear for what it was intended hahaha

      Plus, for some of us, if we actually had a motorbike to keep up with, we might not be able to buy leather jackets at all! haha

        Humans have been wearing animal skins long before the internal-combustion engine was invented. So motorcyclists should get it out of their heads that leather jackets were made exclusively for them.

        I'll wear what the fuck I want, when I want! (This is an 08:20 rant, as I have the dentist in an hour. 😞 ).

          Regards the leather jacket for bikers thing, I've been riding for over 20yrs and in that time I've only occasionally worn a leather jacket for riding, preferring armoured goretex/kevlar ones for the majority of my journeys. When I did wear a leather jacket, it wasn't the sort of jacket you'd want to wear casually since it had armour in the shoulders, elbows and back, and was plastered with logo's! For me, any style of leather jacket that doesn't feature body armour is for casual wear.

            ^ that's a good point in general. In this day and age you can (and should) get high spec technical clothing for most physically rigorous/dangerous hobbies, sports and disciplines. Relying on 21oz cotton and tanned horse butt to save your arse from being smeared all over the tarmac would be silly.

              I wanted to put an IH sticker on my Chevelle, but I figured I couldn't mix the biker gear with muscle car.

                                    No problems G! Historically for his age and status, drugs would be what you would immediately think. However, it seems his health was at best questionable over the last few weeks

                                      C'mon @Seul you work in a place that sells beer, and you still have some income left.

                                      Or is that why you're dumpster diving chocolate all the time? :o
