Hey Bob, the old man is right there with ya.

I just left the Country
Buffet
for breakfast, and they had a Honda Gold Wing club meeting there. I am
decked
out in Fieldsheer Sonic Air jacket and pants, with Alpine Stars SM-X Plus
boots.
With my skinny self I made quite a sight! I waved at them,; they looked me
up and down,
smiled and waved back. Plus, they all parked in the parking lot, and I
parked up on the
sidewalk, right in front of the window where I am eating. They will never
knock me
down in the parking lot, been there done that!
But, the stares happen all the time. And you know when I do the rare trip
with jeans and
cowboy boots, I feel naked.. To tell the truth, I am glad I got myself in
the habit of wearing
gear at all times..I have a hot shot buddy, who narrowly escaped death,
preaching that if he
just goes to the store, he will have full leathers on!
Keeping on with the keeping on, and stay safe on that side..
Your buddy,;
