I've found polypro underwear to be a life saver on track days. I feel a lot less clammy because of the sweat transporting capabilities, and it's a lot easier to get in and out of the leathers. I use the same inner layer for touring; comfortable, helps keep you cool or warm as needed. And it washes/dries easily. Btw; did you know that many of the pantyhose print adds - you know the ones where you only see legs - are shot with male models (shaved no doubt) wearing the merchandise  Henrik | ||

Henrick...Too funny. DaveS...Be sure to add your line of fashion underwear to your website so we can order. Chainsaw...Thanks for the link and product review. Just may have to plop down the big bucks to keep from getting teased. LOL Crusty...Is just the natural evolution of active minds poking fun at one another as the riding season draws to an end. LMFAO (Note: The "F" stands for Frozen! | ||

I'm with the biased CJ on this one. Just can't do the tights thing - sorry BOYS errrr I may need abetter word now. BWHAHAHAHAHAHAHA Newfie out of here in his winter ski stuff. BUT ITS NOT PANTY HOSE | ||
| Swampy |
NO, NO, NO, tights watsoever for guys!! And I drink flavored coffee!! But NO, absolutly not, NO NO NO tights. Polypropylene, yes, good, very good. Tights BAD, even for the new Metrosexuals. That reminds me of the first guy I encountered with a speedo 22 years ago, he couldn't have made less of a fashion statement if he had stood poolside and screamed at the top of his lungs, "LOOK AT MY BALLS" PLUS, you can use your snowmobile very comfortably when wearing polypropylene, but tights would be a catastrophy. I hope no ones feelings were hurt. | ||

Is a Metrosexual someone who loves little Chevy import cars? | ||
| Newfie_buell |
Is a Metrosexual anything like a TRI-Sexual???? Thanks Swampy for the agreement on the tights. The polypropylene undergarments are the best stuff to wear under any type of riding gear. I was waiting to see someone post that "Tights Made Them Feel Pretty", thankfully no one posted that line. edited by Newfie_Buell on October 21, 2003 | ||

Stay strong guys, NO tights !!! CJ XB  | ||

"Metrosexuals", must be a new term of sorts. Is that someone who goes a step beyond bi-sexual and goes for the whole city? | ||
| Mikej |

Yuk, I don't want no man who is in touch with his femine side, thank you very much !!! Sure wish Char weren't out of town, I'd like to see her opinion !!  CJ XB | ||

Metrosexuals: It's a Guy Thing! An emerging breed of man, the metrosexual, shows his soft, sensitive, feminine side. Ahhh, the "Soft Man" resurfaces after about 20 years of dormancy. Back then he had his 15 seconds in the limelight. Society in general and women in particular quickly lost interest. May he have a quick and easy passing. Henrik (ain't never been soft  ) | ||

Oh great, more Alan Alda movies Just a few personal rules: tights - yeah, my balls are cold so I'm gonna wear 'em, you got a problem with that? hair care - I'm a guy, I don't care about split ends or a lustrous sheen, if it's on sale and comes in a jumbo bottle so I don't have to go back to the friggin' walmart for another 6 months it's for me. And fer Chrissakes go to a barber. Real men aren't scared of a septuagenarian with shaky hands and a straight razor. manicures - Goop and the toothpick thing from my Swiss Army Knife. Sensitivity - hey, I loved Deerhunter.  | ||

Thats funny Philly, Still NO TIGHTS for me if my balls are cold they know how to take care of themseselves - just can't seem to locate where they are hiding!!!!!!  Hell one time after a long ride in real cold weather I had to plug my nose and blow real hard to find it to pee!!!!!-hehehehe Haircare - just cut real short and I'm with you on the biggest mongo bottle you can find - even though the ladies in my family no longer send me to the store for shampoo. Whew on that one Whats a manicure - I use the bench grinder with the rough stone to keep my nails in check!!!!!Hard on the fingers though when you slip but the skin grows back. Sensitivity - I have one feeling that I apply to different situations!!!! BUT I STILL REFUSE TO WEAR TIGHTS  | ||

Newfie...That was hilarious. Interesting how a cold water swim has the same effect. Best reason not to wear speedo's without a codpiece other than the gross look for most out of shape men. LOL Just received my copy of MCN and read the article concerning the panty hose and disco shirts. Nothing new, but it still is a funny concept that the girls seem to have a monopoly on. Think after all this teasing about the tights, I just may search out some hi tech ski underwear. Damn, I hate to spend the money. Will cut into my Buell maintenance budget that seems to keep Hal's service department in the black. LOL | ||

no tights, but try anything made from "Smartwool" , ,, , , got a set of longies last years, the stuff is aces! black is good, gray is good, blue is good, black and blue is very good sensitive males are something we were all told were very desireable by the ladies we knew, who then immediately starated whining about how there were no real men around (grin) . . . polyprpo stuf is great, as Henrick stated, especially if your "real man" type person has er, expanded a little since buying the leathers . . . .great help getting in and out of em between track sessions metrosexual? sheesh, another fad I missed out on! I wore beads once, but they fell into my soup. and my 1966 elephant bell bottoms kept getting caught in the chain of my BSA . . . . | ||

For those of us less secure in our manhood and sexuality Cabelas carry a wide range of performance underwear, including Smartwool and Under Armour, at what seems like reasonable prices. Their "house brand" stuff is especially reasonable. Henrik | ||
| Nevco1 |
Henrick...Thanks for the website. Just might ride out to Cabela's this weekend to trade in my tights. LOL | ||

I definitely want to get in touch with a feminine side,just not mine by any means.In fact,I looked and I don't have one. And if you lived here you wouldn't need tights.(Its gonna be in the 80's today--too bad I am sitting in the firehouse--but it is at time and 1/2). | ||

Hot Dog, now there's some manly underwear, in all the right colors !!!! The models aren't too bad either, thanks for that link Henrik !! Good for you FMJ, women not only don't want their men in touch with their feminine side, we don't even want them to HAVE a feminine side !! (Disclaimer - For all you sensitive guys, I'm just JOKING !!!!!) CJ XB  | ||

Your NOT joking CJ, Your just love the big truck driving, NO TIGHT WEARING, beer swillin, wheelie ridin, bad ass redneck kind of guy. Bill to satisfy your question on swimming in COLD, COLD water. This year in early June I decided to swim in the frigid North Atlantic here on the north coast of the island. Right where the Labrador Current runs by - some call it Iceberg Alley. Well the water is only a degree or two above freezing, I went in a pair of regular trunks, not the speedo kind - I think they are for pansys too, and when I hit the water my bones actually hurt it was sooooo cold. I got out and thought I had a Mangina, damm that water was cold. I could only stand about 10 minutes, someone dared me to do it so I did. I never turn down a challenge. Unless someone challenges me to wear Tights I just can't do that!!!! Only real men can swim in cold cold water and get away with it - lucky I was wearing my Big Big Shorts. hehehehehe BUT - was it ever refreshing. | ||

Newfie we have a club here in Racine called the Polar Bear club they jump in Lake Michigan every year sometime in like JANUARY.Thats flipp'n crazy. | ||
| Newfie_buell |
You should try it, Really brings a new perspective on life and makes you have a true appreciation for HEAT. Every 24th of may myself and a friend used to swim on a pond up by my parents place just for the hell of it. Some years there was still ice on the pond but we did it anyway. Maybe thats why cold weather really does not bother me all that much!!!! | ||

I walked through the lobby here a minute ago. We have these plasma screen TVs set up with CNN on all the time. If that wasn't bad enough, there was a story on how to become a "Metrosexual." As if someone wanted to be, and, needed help in becoming one. The End is nigh... | ||

Cabela's rocks. I stopped at the one in S. Dakota last year on the ride back from Aaron's - was freezing my buns off, since when I left Philly it was 90 degrees and I dressed appropriately, and by the time I hit the Badlands it was just over 30 F. I shivered my way into the Cabelas clutching my helmet in a frozen claw and this sweet little old saleslady came up and said "oh, dear, you're not riding a motorcycle in this weather are you?" When I nodded and chattered yes she said "Well how much further do you have to go?" I managed to spit out "Philadelphia" and got another "Oh Dear!" followed by "Let's look in the snowmobile section!" | ||
