Riding Shorts : V-Twin Forum: Harley Davidson Forums

No, I don't want to ride in shorts. I want shorts, or underwear, or riding shorts, or whatever you want to call what you wear as a base layer, that doesn't chaffe.

I usually just wear my regular 'ol boxer briefs under my jeans when I ride, but as of late the seams are really starting to annoy my skinny little ass. I was wondering if anyone had a recommendation (besides putting on weight) as to what type of undergarment may be of suitable use.

Under Armor? LD Comfort? Any other suggestions?

Help a skinny assed, seam annoyed brother out, would ya??

thanks,
darrell

I've seen, and I must say, the boots match perfectly.

All kidding aside, I do have a pair of the LD Comfort shorts and they do make things more "comfy" on long distance rides.

Let me be the first to say that you don't have to be skinny to have uncomfortable shorts. My boxer/briefs get pretty annoying too, and at 5'11" and 265, nobody ever told me I had a skinny (_!_).

I'm interested in solutions too...besides losing weight...which I am working on by the way. Lost 30 pounds so far. Got a good ways to go though, but that's another tread.

J C Penny sells a line called "Pro Player". Good comfort, easy care, and usually can be found on sale.

Well, you could do like a couple of my riding buddies....get a couple cans of "Monkey Butt" and don't wear any underwear. They swear by it. I haven't tried it...going to take them for their word.

I bought some this summer and they really work well in the heat. Cotton gets wet and clammy while these stay dry and comfy....

I wonder if a good pair of those gay looking bike, as in bicycle, riding shorts would work well. You know, the kind that advertises your "package" or lack thereof. Good subject though cause I sure get monkeybutt on my Badlander seat. I am NOT trying to start a gay thread. Speaking of Gay...John Kerry is an asshole.

Pleezzzee!! John Kerry is the biggest moron that I have EVER seen run for office in my 33 years of voting! I was a liberal left wing pacifist until the last election. Now I am a right wing Christian conservative!! See what that idiot did for me??? He improved my life!! Just by being himself!! He is what makes me no longer afraid to be a conservative republican.

I should have known starting a thread about underwear would lead to a debate about whose more of an ass.

I'm gonna try out the LD Comfort just as soon as I get some extra play money.

Maybe try some bicycle shorts under your pants? Of course your buds may wonder why you have butt padding showing through your jeans.
