New Rider ForumsJust joining the motorcyclist hobbie? Looking to get some information about a first bike? Or have some newbie questions. Are you new to the website?
so yeah. right now i wear a helmet and gloves as far as gear. aside from that i'm in a pair of cargo pants and my ecko hoodie of invincibility. it's lvl. 20 now so don't sweat it.
anyway, at highway speeds the wind catches my hoodies and the cager behind me gets a great shot at my ass. now i don't have any problem with public nudity or anything but i typically don't do free shows. will a leather jacket fix this for me? are there any sort of protective pants that ride a little higher? trying to protect my income here.
They make this thing you wear around your waist and it keeps your pants up - its called a belt. Learn it, live it.
There are these other things they make too - they're called underpants. If you can't figure out how to use the belt, wearing underpants will protect people from seeing your ass cleavage, all they get is a shot of your tighy whities.
Some riding jackets do have a piece that hang down a little further in back, but if the problem is the wind tearing at your clothes I doubt that will help much. Seriously though, a belt should solve your problem.

Although not as fashionable as a belt.....suspenders will also help hold your pants up at an appropriate level. Also riding at a slower speed would help keep your shirt down. So therefore, you can either dress like my grandpa, or drive like my grandpa and your problem will be solved.
Speaking o grandpa, there is a whole other kind of pants out there call "overalls." That would work too. Laugh now, but I could see them coming back, just like the economy from the Great Depression is doing right now.
"Overalls - made for babies, dust bowl refugees and old people, but I like 'em too."
Wear a proper riding jacket. A hoodie won't do shit in a crash, and it doesn't protect you from the debris flying around.
At least you are wearing a helmet and gloves. It's a start.

Lem is right - In my rush to tease you a little I missed the fact you didn't have a jacket. You do need to gear up better.
Get a decent riding jacket with some armor - there are plenty of threads around that have lots of different opinions on what to use but I usually use a nice mesh jacket that wasn't that expensive. I got mesh overpants, too. Go to a dealer and buy real motorcycle gear, not Wilson's Leather out at the mall or a cheapo leather coat from JC Penney's.
Also, Have you got a good set of gloves yet? You need them too. It'll take a few hundred bucks to set yourself up but if you shop wisely it won't break the bank. Once you start riding in gear, you'll wonder why you ever did without it.
Put on leather jacket, tuck shirt into pants, fasten belt tightly. You are now not officially that guy.
Yup, that's the easy answer. But he won't accept it because it involves doing what people on this board say he should do. We all know that's not gonna happen.

i'm working on the gear situation. i've had this thing for less than two weeks. give it time..
good to know a leather jacket will solve this issue for the most part. also, i do wear a belt, i just don't strap it on at my belly button like my pop-pop does. suspenders also may be a viable solution here. specially since it's going under a jacket.
i've been looking into the pants half of two piece suits but i'm a tad of a fat ass so dunno how i feel about them.
how do i keep my ass from hanging out?
so yeah. right now i wear a helmet and gloves as far as gear. aside from that i'm in a pair of cargo pants and my ecko hoodie of invincibility. it's lvl. 20 now so don't sweat it.
