kilted motorcycle?

[smaughazard]

Absolutely right! I've got a dozen or so pairs of the jeans and one of the Kevlar-lined jean jackets, so the leathers are mostly reserved for winter. Even though I'm no longer a part of the process, the basic idea is still great. About the only time I'm willing to wear a kilt on the bike is when I'm on the sidecar rig and only traveling a short distance such as from one venue to another at a Highland games event. For more spirted riding and longer distances, I always advocate protective gear.

I wasn't aware of other sidecar people here.

I've ridden around 2500kms (part of a much larger trip) over around 6 days wearing a longsleeved T-shirt for sun protection, rather than suffering heat exhaustion and possibly falling off the bike(it was over 40 Celsius for the entire time). I wear what I feel is appropriate for the time and dont feel I have to tell anyone what to wear, it's my choice. Not my place to tell someone else what to wear either unless they ask for an opinion.

Just the same, Unless it was a parade or similar I'd never wear a kilt on a bike. YMMV

Yeah, I wear as much as I can, but here in Florida in the summertime at mid-day, even a ventilated coat can be way too much to bear (and I've been a medic long enough to know the consequences). I figure I'm safer fully alert and oriented in a T-shirt than semi-concious from heat exaustion in a padded jacket.
