It sounds cool to the owner, but that's it. It's some kind of macho pissing contest. No one else really likes it though. You Know Who Likes it When You Rev Your Engine? No One! | Ivan Decker
Share some pics, you badass!
Not me. If I had a bike I would take it nice and slow. And if alone on a long twisty road or highway I'd probably still take it slow just to enjoy the ride. I've seen some people really speed past me while driving on the highway and they freak me out.Comment

maybe its a euro thing but that bike looks like a dirtbike with makeup on. harleys look way cooler.you don't know you're wearing a leash if you sit by the peg all day..Comment

Then you are dumber than I thought.
Leave it to a fucking crockett scientist to suggest that leather doesn't help. I have PROOF they will protect you.
I have only ridden a horse once and it became readily clear why cowboys wore chaps ... those animals are filthy and sweat all over you if you don't have protection.
You may not be trying to be argumentative, but you sure are not stopping to think.
Wear black - hides the dirt
Covering face with bandanna - Have you ever hit a bee at 60 MPH? Every little bit helps
Seedy bars - Fuck, they are a lot more fun than some club
Beards - Help as a cushion/buffer against rocks, hail, bugs a lot more than a bandannaComment

I've seen that and its ridiculous.
Here in Montreal I've seen men and women riding to work on bicycles and motor cycles wearing suits. Looks good to me!
It's probably not a cultural thing at first. People like to associate with other like-minded people. Musicians want to meet other musicians and join bands, Mustang drivers join mustang clubs, adult webamsters join adult webmaster forums. People who want bikes grew up with the image of a biker. The first thing they do after buying a bike is buy some clothes that help match the image they have in their heads, and then after that maybe start associated with others who look like them, and who have bikes as a common interest.
I don't know why it happens but a psychologist would know the answers.Comment

I guess it's because they finally have the money and time to spend on a hobby, and biking is something that occurs to them, for a sense of "freedom". Personally I prefer mountain biking to motor biking though.Comment

If you've never ridden a motorcycle you can't imagine. Once you're skilled enough where you can ride without being terrified, it is truly amazing. A pain in the dick sometimes, but amazing. The wind can be really cold, and there are bugs, so leather helps. If you ride a lot you will have a get-off, so the boots and leather help again. Probably, when you're 40 or above you have enough rank at your job, or your biz is successful enough were you're not someone's bitch all day. So you can take some trips.
That said I haven't ridden in 15 years.Comment

it doesn't have to be all or nothing, 1 piece full body suit or naked. people find their comfort zone and go there.
i never rode without leather gloves but often rode without leather pants or jacket.
people are also making a statement with their clothing choices. but a motorcycle vest is very much a safety item
ricers wear these all the time around here whilst doing wheelies down the freeway.
