Spacey's chaps

On a semi-related side note (was actually planning on starting a new thread, but here's as good a place as any. Please to forgive the threadjack.): [shill] Part of the deal with the wife when I bought the bike was that I take a MSF rider safety course. I finally did it this weekend. Finished early afternoon today. I can't recommend the experience enough. The course is aimed at beginners (like, never even seen a motorcycle before) so at first I was worried that I had totally wasted my time and money. But as it went on I started to realize how nice it was to get a ground-up recap. You don't realize how many bad habits you've picked up until you have someone pointing them out to you. Very valuable. I went on a long ride with my dad and my brother today and was amazed at how my riding was changed. Both of them commented on it too. (Of course neither is planning on taking the course, because they're both "experts," but that's another story.) Probably the best motorcycle-related $180 I've ever spent.[/shill] Pics of the "gang" below. Yes, my dad and I have the same jacket. I bought mine first. ( ) And yes, I am wearing chaps.

Schweet. BTW, does your bike ride lower to the ground than those other two?

(edit) Or it could be the fact that I'm quite a bit shorter than he is, so I look like I sit lower. Dystopia- I feel bad now for jacking this thread, if you can separate my t/j into a new thread, that'd be just super. If not, well, that's *fudge*in' golfhos, I suppose.

There's an option called Split Topic. i've never used it before. What would you like the new thread called?

I don't get it.
Knowing what goes on here, and the fact that a number of members have a penchant for assless chaps, and going sans pants there was the potential for a thread title to be less than savoury..

Point of clarification: chaps with an ass built in are called pants.

Is there a version of chaps with ass, but no front?

Yikes! Never mind. After doing a Google Image search this is a bad direction.
