My how times have changed/I'll say it again

[the Ferret]

From the earliest time I can remember (mid 50's) until just a few years ago, one thing you could count on with Harley riders is that they always wore jeans, black engineer boots and black leather gloves (fingerless in summer). In my mind those things are synonymous, Harleys, blue jeans (Levis), black leather engineer boots and black leather gloves. They may have worn a sleeveless T-shirt on top, or a sleeved tee with a leather vest, or denim vest if it was warm, or a leather jacket on top if it was cold. Here in Ohio we haven't had a helmet law in forever so I don't remember them wearing helmets much (and dew rags only came into vogue in the 90's), but you could always count on blue jeans , engineer boots and leather gloves.

Passed these two fellows on this mornings ride. Bear in mind it was 56 degrees when I took off this morning with my Modular Helmet, Tourmaster jacket, deerskin gloves, blue jeans and Alpinestar boots (and it was a bit nippy dressed like that). There's a new breed of Harley riders.

and I will say it once again, for the umpteenth time. "I am not tough enough to ride a Harley" lol
