Denim is not good at all for helping retain heat. Nylon and other synthetics are. But If all you have is jeans, and you have to ride when it’s approximately 44 – 49 degrees out on a sunny day (35 mph), would "long-johns" help at all? I’ve ridden while almost hypothermic, and it’s NOT fun.
I forgot to mention, I’m only riding it from the storage lot to my apartment (approximately 2 miles)

Usually when I drive those temperatures I wear long johns. My commute is about 45min of 45MPH driving and it’s much more comfortable wearing them. Without them once I get to school I would not be able to feel my legs and one day I actually got minor frostbite when it was below freezing, which was painful.

So yeah long johns will not only make you more comfortable but they could save a lot of pain.

But if your only going 2 miles thats like a 3 minute drive. You can survive that easily.

We are a small Baptist Church in East Tennessee with about 10 to 20 bikes involved in our monthly rides. We are Six Mile Missionary Baptist Church in Maryville, TN.

How about just S.M.M.B.C?

Kinda dull though….

Especially when you’re getting a ride on a motorcycle and you’re holding on to the drivers waist for dear life. Wouldn’t it be easier if it came with a seat belt?

I think that’s one of the best questions I’ve heard in my life.

Woah, you’re right. You’re holding on to their waist, how is that protection?

Oh and this sounds silly, but what you if you like accidentally tickle them? Haha won’t they have some issues?

*ADDED AFTER EDIT:*

Maybe it’s so it doesn’t drag you across the road or something…

Hmm.
You’d be like strapped to your death basically, right?

This is more for sport bike riders though. Just a funny question out of curiosity, I have grip pads on the side of my gas tank(don’t know if this is the reason). Does anybody else have smooth spots in the thighs because the gas tank rubs the hair off? I can’t ride for another month as I was hit from behind and fell braking my collar bone but though this was funny.
I ride in a full leather jacket with gloves helmets and boots and jeans, I have no idea why the hair rubs off my thighs that’s why I asked.

the removal of hair along your thighs is a common occurance in sports motorcycle riding. and it is not from the pads that are attached on the side of the tank but from the clothing. hair gets weaved thru the cloth when you bank and lean to the sides. then without you noticeing when you come out of the turn and into the next turn or into the straight your hair gets pulled out from the roots. and since you will be kind of layed up for for a while you’ll see short hairs returning after a week or two.

When women are riding on a motorcycle, why do women and even men wear a bandana around their forehead? I know they have to "play" the part, but there is also a reason for it too. Why? Is it to protect something?

Most of the other folks answered your question correctly.But since we are on the subject of bandanas and motorcycle riding,let me add a few other uses for them on the road.It’s a smart idea to keep a couple of them with you at all times.If you are riding out west,and you get caught in a sand storm or even strong wind,you can tie one around your face to protect you from abrasion from the sand and also so you can breath.Good idea even if you wear a helmet.Sand has a way of finding a way in your nose.For people that ride bikes without a front fender,you can tie one to your forks and it will keep the rooster tail from hitting you in the face if you are caught in the rain.Also good to wipe your hands with if you end up having to do some kind of maintenace on the side of the road.And if you find yourself in the middle of nowhere and need to take a dump you have something to wipe your bum with.So it’s not just a fashion statement as some have suggested.So to those who answered in such a manner,it is evident that you don’t have that much experince on the road.Or at best you are a bunch of fair weather riders.Also about the helmet thing,let those who ride decide.And another thing about having to wrench on my bike on the side of the road,I would ride my shovelhead to california today and not worry.I know I can fix whatever happens.I might not show up fast,but I would show up on some class.Sorry I got a little carried away there at the last.Anyway,be safe,and keep the rubber side down,Buck
