What are you wearing today?

[Stefi]

Just hanging around my sisters house, watching her dogs and being me.

Speaking of boob sweat I think someone should make a bra out of a mesh of some kind so it can breathe.

I dunno, mesh on the girls seems like it would be uncomfortable. Of course at my size, they can just be free unless I expect I'll be running.

 

As long as I'm not wearing, say, a sheer, white racerback shirt to the gym. Everybody got a bit of a show that day.

 

Hugs!

Yeah, maybe.

I think it depends on the mesh.

I would think that you also want something to wick/absorb moisture / boob sweat. I mostly wear a bra now to add a little padding and cover the always on headlights so mesh wouldn't help there.

Oh yeah, that's a good point too. My sister-in-law says a chainmail bikini can be pretty comfy when you line it in something like rabbit-fut. Personally, I just used an adhesive strapless yesterday and that worked fine. Lucky choice too as I stopped by for a deep tissue massage on my way home from buying ice cream. I could be modest and half-naked at the same time.

 

Hugs!

I made 6-7 over the years. The big issue was the weight and the strain it puts on the back of the neck but steel is heavy and gets cold.  I have yet to make one for myself.

[Jackie C.]

I always used aluminum, so the weight is less of an issue. You could also use a smaller gauge like... let's see if I can find it... drat. Anyway, it was this beautiful chainmail wedding gown that used a bunch of different metals. I mean it's not like we need it to stop a knife.

 

Hugs!

I was a purist about the metals and processes I used so aluminum and premade rings were off the list for a long. I still can't justify the cost of buying them. I do have my 3d printer which solves a lot of the problems but I'm overly concerned about the rings breaking. Thank you Jackie for bringing this up. I'm gonna rework my design.

I’m unfortunately not wearing my leathers today as I’ve decided to sell my 66 R 50 BMW.  I’m just a bit too old and weak at this point to handle her.  Note the scarf.  I use it to keep my wig on as I take my helmet off.  It also looked great streaming behind me.  I’m keeping the 64 Vespa to putter around and go to the farm market.  
 

Hugs,

What a great old bike! I loved the opposed engines.  The K series did nothing for me lol

 

[Charlize]

It is a classic for sure and always turns heads.  Quiet and a comfortable stable ride.  I remember riding up the east coast to Martha’s Vineyard on 3 gallons of gas non stop and being comfy.  Not the fastest cafe racer but a real road bike. 
 

Hugs,

@Charlize you look so adorable in your recent pictures...you all do, but that bike is a nice surprise.  As a kid my dad would take me for long rides on his '68 R50.  I loved how quiet it was, and I'm sure that's why I recently had a strong urge to find my favorite bike...1982 Silverwing.

I see it as the lady-goldwing.  Only 500cc so I can pick it up I have to.

I chicked it out a little.  I love coming out on my bike.  I feel feminine, sexy, and free when riding.

[Ivy]

I gave up my shadow a few years ago.  Still have the leathers around somewhere tho.

I think I would feel weird wearing them now.  Maybe the jacket would still work?  It is nice and warm.

[Jani]

Looking good Charlize!  I completely understand your reason to sell.  It was the same for me with my 1983 Suzuki GS1100E.  

 

[Ivy]

I dug out a pix of the old girl.

This was at Lake Lure on the way up toward Asheville.  It was awhile back though.

Honda Shadow 700, not real big, about like a sportster, but water cooled, with a driveshaft.  I do miss her sometimes.

[Bri2020]

two back surgeries later I had to give her up: Suzuki 750 Volusia. Before that I had a honda 550 circa 1980s and a 72 Susuki GT750. That was too much for my 16 year old self and lasted one ride before I sold it. I originally picked it up in parts to learn how to rebuild them.

 

[Elizabeth Star]

My brother in law gave a ‘72 Honda CB750. He got it for parts. It took me 2 years to make it presentable and rideable. Two months later I totaled it.

Mine had been totaled once and put back together.  We also survived hitting a deer one time.   She was a tough old girl.   Fortunately, I never lost any limbs, just a lot of skin.

[Teri Anne]

Looked around for some pics of the old 1952 K model Harley I had many years ago but no luck finding any.

45 cu in motor foot clutch and side shift.

8 inch over stock springer front end and one big headlight. Short Zbar handle bars.

The frame had been chopped as well but not sure exactly how much

Bobbed off  3 inches on each fender .

Being a hard tail it wasn't the smoothest ride for long trips.

It ended up being stolen while I was at a club partying with some other friends.

A friend found a few parts off it a few years later but I was over the urge to ride on two wheels by that time.

 

 

[Charlize]

My ride now.  It is a 64 Vespa rebuilt in Vietnam and bored out to 175cc.  Certainly peppy and plenty of fun on small local roads.  And you can wear a skirt?.

 

Hugs,

Dunno, in keeping with the spirit of the thread, I think you should have to post a picture of your bike with you riding on it.

 

Hugs!

Or at least what you wear when riding

[Teri Anne]

I have to agree with that ,pics on the bikes would be cute.
