Here's an interview in Men's Health with Charlie Hunnam, star of FX's Sons of Anarchy. I enjoy the show, but it was another one of those situations where celebrities should keep their opinions to themselves. http://www.menshealth.com/style/tips/An-Individual -Fit.php | ||

A quick tip if you ever want to hang with young outlaw bikers: Don't wear leather boots. They're cliche. They give you away as an outsider, a fake. Charlie Hunnam knows that. It's why, when he plays a biker on FX's Sons of Anarchy, he wears white sneakers. That's the way many real guys roll I'm rolling with laughter on that one.... | ||

he mist live in sunny socal. wearing sneakers anywhere else would lead to frost bite. | ||

Let's see: - Leather imitation biker jacket from Macy's, check. - Prada overnight bag, check. - Nike shoes to "fit in", check. Yup, sounds like a biker to me... I guess we are all just posers on this board. | ||

"Leather jackets are part of the biker uniform, worn as much for protection as style. You can ape the look with a lightweight motorcycle-inspired jacket, which easily transitions from winter to spring. DKNY Salford jacket ($300), (800) 777-4524; DKNY Jeans T-shirt ($40, Macys" I've always suspected that REAL bikers shop for their leathers at Macys. What a bunch of posers I've been hanging with for the last 25 years. Wearing leathers and riding boots like suckers. | ||

So, because he plays a biker on TV he is THE iconic biker?  | ||

So I just wasted all that money on the Axo Primato boots and Tourmaster jacket and pants and Cortech gloves? I feel so out of place and alone. I've ridden in sneakers (and dress shoes), never really felt that comfortable doing this. | ||

I'm thinking they may have been researching "bikers" out in the Castro district in San Fran. ~SM | ||

Hey look at me, I totally put 13 inch t-bars so they hang above the bikini fairing.... oooooh thats a state ment of handling. If it were a local club, he would have had to build his bike, and there would be no damn new 96 ci fuelly there. and you would be lucky to get a suspension | ||

I would guess that if you wanted to "fit in" with bikers, you wouldn't be reading Men's Health to find out how. | ||

He started as a "clothing model" I wouldn't expect anything else. I liked the show until last night, way too much gratuitous violence. I don't know the good guys from the bad guys anymore. And the worst one got away. What the hell? | ||

A Harley fits him well I'd say.  | ||

I'm sorry, I can't trust the word of someone who buys two pairs of the same shoes in every colour! WTF? Is he related to Imelda Marcos or something? I can count the pairs of shoes & boots I own on my fingers for f***s sake, this freak has over 90 pairs of Nikes alone! Taken to it's logical conclusion, assuming he wears no other shoes, each pair gets worn 4 days a year. Mental, he needs to stop believing his own publicity. | ||

The best was watching a young punk come in our shop - in REAL LIFE, mind you - wearing SoA "colors". In front of a group of VNV-MC guys. I left the showroom. No sense getting called as a witness lol. I think he was allowed to walk out on his own feet... I think. | ||
| Mr_grumpy |
May I just post a disclaimer here. We Brits are NOT AT ALL like this person. This sounds like it could be a line from "Get off my cloud" He can't be a biker cos he doesn't wear sneakers on his hog. | ||

All right, here are my points of interest: "on FX's Sons of Anarchy, he wears white sneakers. That's the way many real guys roll." "And I'm like, 'Yeah, I'm sure you wear leather boots when you're on your bike, man'cause you're a dentist.' " And to not clutter anything up further, the clothing listings...... WTF?! I have been known to wear sneaks occasionally, but my "poser" leather boots have more mileage in the past year on solo missions than this douchebag will ever ride. Furthermore, and I don't care who reads this, if you feel the need to be in a biker gang, go for it. I guess not everyone can be man enough to stand on their own two feet. I, on the other hand, feel that patronizing gang violence through a show is embarrassing to the whole motorcycle community, and refuse to watch it. I grew up surrounded by a certain un-named motorcycle "club"..... Count me out on that lifestyle. I like owning what I buy. (Message edited by malott442 on December 03, 2009) | ||

OK - I think I FINALLY understand buttless chaps now. They are so the "real man" doesn't have that extra layer of heavy leather between his ass and the seat - so HE can get the full effect of that desired vibration. Brrrrm brrrmbrapbrubbb | ||

gay - and not in the good way. | ||

Well Slaughter. I won't go saying anything negative about the rearless chaps. If you come from a place that gets cold, you learn just what those are good for. Saved my legs more than once from the cold. | ||

I'm not going to click on the link - I get the gist eadng the posts. Our magazine stuntman wears sneakers on a bike. Doing sick things. He's mad. It's why I like him. My preference is sturdy - with an inclination towards steel reinforced. Overall I prefer to wear my titanium plates externally. | ||

Buttless chaps? like a sleavless jacket? Chaps (pronounced /ˈʃęps/ or /ˈtʃęps/) are sturdy coverings for the legs consisting of leggings and a belt. They are buckled on over trousers with the chaps' integrated belt, but unlike trousers they have no seat and are not joined at the crotch. They are designed to provide protection for the legs and are usually made of leather or a leather-like material. They are most commonly associated with the cowboy culture of the American west as a protective garment to be used when riding a horse through brushy terrain. In the modern world, they are worn for both practical work purposes and for exhibition or show use. | ||

Men's Health is the dividing line between metrosexuality and blowing a guy in the bathroom of a gay bar. If it weren't for the smattering of Cosmo-esque "How to get/please/satisfy women" articles, you wouldn't know it was aimed at straight men. My best friend used to get them and I'd just read and shake my head. Of course, he's quite trendy and "metro" and he keeps a pretty steady flow of really hot chics, so maybe there's something to it. I could just never justify spending that kind of cash on shoes, clothing and such. Much better to spend it on parts and riding gear. That article is not at all surprising. Those are the kinda guys that Men's Health caters to. (Message edited by not_purple_s2 on December 04, 2009) | ||

Not_Purple, look at it this way. With how we are in the non metro style, we'll land a girl who's grounded and without all the drama. My fiance is certainly that style. She even likes to ride her own bike.  |
