Well my dealer closed its doors today. They've been having a sale for the last several weeks to drop inventory. Well I was able to pick up a pair of chaps for half-price. I had pondered about getting chaps before but I didn't think they would really go with riding a Goldwing. They're more of the nylon armor crowd and not so much for leather. So I always thought it would look out of place riding a Goldwing in chaps. Now that I've got a Vision chaps are a nice accessory that fits right in. And not to mention that the wife unit really digs me wearing chaps. If I knew she would like them so much I would have gotten them sooner, Wing or no Wing.

Oh, my dealer is moving, they closed the doors today to move to the new location.

Lol, yep been wearing them for years (even when I rode wings). You may not be aware of the several studies that conclude that leather is far superior to ALL other armor in a get off. Evidently leather slides much better than any of the other materials and ballistic armor. As a result far fewer injuries usually caused by tumbling occur wearing leather. Another good reason besides your wife diggin you in leather, lol

I kinda thought when you said that "Leather is far superior to ALL other armor in a get off" you WERE referring to his wife digging him!!!
