Seems like every biker has been there, but me. So adchick is now officially headed west to catch the tail end of the madness in South Dakota. Beyond the decadence of all that is this most famous of motorcycle rallys, there will be mountain driving, Mt. Rushmore, beer, the Badlands, beer, Deadwood, Devils Tower, beer, and no clients, keyboards or crap. Final vacation of the year, people. And vacation is important (especially when you’re self-employed!) Back in 10 days!
I remember when I posed for this shot…I was blond then. 🙂

Don’t forget to pack the assless chaps!

Phillybikeboy, I made the same sort of comment elsewhere, and some weisenheimer responded “All chaps are assless.” Then I looked at wiki and saw that indeed “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.” (That surprised me, but then again, I was just quoting from Dodgeball…no personal experience with such gear.)
Safe travels, adchick!

@Jake….Having spent lots of time about real cowboys, the nature of chaps has never been a mystery to me. Still, the “assless” is an important distinction to make with chaps. Just plan “chaps” are the simple, utilitarian working-man’s legwear “assless chaps” are only worn for recreational use.

Don’t forget to pack a swimsuit and hit Sylvan Lake in the Black Hills. And save room in your saddlebags for a jackalope from Wall Drug. Be careful. Be safe.

Have a great time, adchick–whatever chaps you choose to wear!

Heh! “Recreational use”!!!
