never tried this...
but I can confirm... (don't grin again...)... well as I was a 6-year old I had to ware this.... horrible short "Lederhosen" right, the one with that two-button flap on the front in summer... not the one where the legs rich down to the knees, they are even worse... well this short ones are a bit drafty up the legs ... regarding the stiffens of that thick leather..... wonder how a Kilt perform that way.... girls seem to like it (well wearing skirts)..... wonder why..... :smile:

I wear leather jeans (5 pocket western style) and they are a lot more versatile than armoured leathers, more comfy too  When it's cool a pair of long Johns help, when it's hot they aren't too bad.
Now leather chaps, they.....................................

Nooooooooooooooooooooo. They should be reserved for wimin! All the guys you see wearing them have saggy arsed jeans on and its not pretty!
Got to get a firm, round butt in them for them to look any good.
Me, I'm with Spooky. HG nubuk leather jeans with knee rubbers. Very comfy. Mine are the lace up side version, (no comments pleeeeeeaase). Good cheap kit and look good with all types of boots.

Hi Matt,
Forth Gear, down in Queensferry, are going to be doing a range of kevlar-type jeans called Red Route (I think). There are several styles, I think the most expensive is about a hundred quid.
I was there last weekend and they were due in any time now.
I also considered the Richa Airvent trousers as a multi season option as you can take the waterproof lining out and have, well.. vented trousers for the hot days. £99.99 to you sir. Might be a bit "plasticy" though.
Alternatively, I have a lovely pair of BMW Summer trousers, bought last summer (so hardly worn!) that I just had to have, despite them not fitting me properly. Since I've put on half a stone over the winter they don't fit at all now! Open to all reasonable offers!
Cheers.

Membership - help keep us going!
Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.
You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
