That's the most important reason right there folks. The chicks dig it....

I tried it for about a year (for possible road rash reasons).

How did my wife feel about it?

My wife made it very clear she did not like my legs shaved ... at all

Did I like they they felt when shaved?

No comment

Downside from my POV?

It took a lot of time to for regular 'upkeep'

Well, I shave my legs for mroe reasons than just road rash, it also makes it easier to keep from overheating, and of coarse the wife loves the feel when we are ummmm..... you get the idea. And on top of all that, it shows off your hard earned calves better

I have a grooming question, how does OMR keep his hair looking so dayum good after a ride, while I'm stuck with either a hat or hair that frightens little kids and puppies away?

Sweating is for whimps who ride too hard.

I remember when I used to sweat, then I remembered why I rode bikes. To meet girls of course! So then I just decided to be a poser and spend 9 grand on a bike to sit on it and try and attract the females.

Oh yeah and I shave my legs to show off the muscle implants I got in my calves so that it looks like I ride a lot.
