Am I the only person who knows that the “leather costumes” are form following function?

That they provide protection in case of a crash?

That they are not, outside of Rob Halford, a “fashion statement”?

Who has that lovely photo of the guy who wore shorts and flip-flops while on his bike?

I was always partial to the Aerostich Roadcrafter myself. Never seen a cow designed to slide on pavement at 75.

While simultaneously protesting helmet and loud muffler regulation.

I usually wear jeans, boots, and either a leather vest or jacket over a t-shirt. Depending on the distance and traffic conditions I may wear a helmet.

Here's hoping you don't land on your butt should you ever crash...........
