I enjoy the freedom and excitement of motorcycles as much as the next guy. And I'll go out and ride every now and then, but I've never once had the urge to buy a pair of leather chaps, or a bandanna. Go out, ride your bike during the weekend, enjoy life. But why do people always have to assume the stereotypical biker look when they do? It's like they're unknowingly sucked into a subculture, and slowly get assimilated into it.

I thought you said you ride. You don't wear chaps to look cool, you wear chaps because when you go down your legs are the first to hit the ground and leather is a lot thicker than Levi's and human skin. Bandannas keep the wind from knotting up your hair.
As far as you not buying my explanation, I am sorry, I may not have explained why one individual (your friend) did it, but I am confident that generally, I am correct.
