I bumped into a couple of pals who ride Harleys on my latest ride, and they had never seen me in lycra. One politely said "I have to ask - are you guys required to wear that"? I told him we are cited and issued points against our OCP status if caught in public sans lycra. I then asked him if he was required to wear that vest that looks like it has never been washed, you know, the one with all the patches on it.
He got it.
