I think I'll keep my riding apparel indoors, where it won't be contaminated with tire and/or gasoline odors.

I'm definitely not stereotypical when it comes to bikes or cars. You may see me on a sportbike or a Harley or something else in between. When it comes to cars it could be a pushrod V8 like my Vette or an old muscle car or a 4 cylinder turbo...import or domestic...I have many likes and interest.
That's why I find it so funny when on my R1 and V-Twin guys want to turn their nose up and then I can be on a V-Twin and sportbikes guys turn their nose up. I'm the same mofo regardless motherfvcker !! Last edited by z06boy; 02-14-2011 at 10:54 AM.. |

And if you put your jacket in a closet with a new tire or bottles of chemicals in it......Shit will stink like a mofo after a few days. Leather is porous, so it absorbs odors pretty good. Hell I keep a box of Bounce on the floor of my closet, and it keeps my jacket smelling fresh, lol. Like as if the dude doesn't have room inside his house for his gear. Hell if I pay hundreds of dollars for something, I'm not leaving it somewhere where it's going to be exposed to temperature extremes, high humidity, insects, & dust.

I ride in The City of Philadelphia, and I do it frequently. I smell Exactly like Exhaust/Sweat/Rubber/Fuel...Hell, I have gotten in from a ride and flicked off chunks of rubber. I dont feel the need to have my Riding gear smelling like roses, I highly doubt anyone gives a fuck what I smell like when I'm riding my motorcycle...You really think someone on a street corner is gonna say "Man that guy smelled Fresh and Clean" when you ride by? No, there not. Guy probably does have room in his house to put his gear...But he doesnt park his shit in the living room...Keep it where it's convenient, Do you put your toaster in the bathroom? Or your toothbrush in the fridge?

I keep my track gear in a cabinet in the garage. Well, except helmets.... helmets are on shelves on my living room wall. And, my BMW work gear is in my house. That stuff has to be pretty... YES I do have to smell fresh and clean while working. I clean that gear all the time...
