"As a kid growing up in a hardcore Harley household in the seventies and eighties, I can tell you that biker gear was pretty primal stuff those days. No-frills, utilitarian basics were accrued, used, and abused\u2014then discarded once they were road-worn, threadbare, and beyond repair. If you wanted anything fancy, you personalized it yourself with patches, spot-work, chains, stitching, and stickers\u2014but not too many people were into ornamental back then.\n\nNowadays, there's more gear than you can shake a stick at\u2014from old-school to high-tech. And what you choose definitely tells the world how you roll.
