Nope... can't stand those things, it's a Buzz Kidder canvas kilt, in the style as worn by the Black Watch squadron in WWI... My other one is Blackwatch Tartan, I like it more, but I don't have any decent pics of myself wearing that one... This is the best pic of me in my Blackwatch tartan kilt (With my dad wearing my canvas one)  |

We're definatly interested. But you boys have to wear them kilts on the bikes! We would likely ride down on Friday, go to the fair Sat, and come home on Sun.
Surely I wouldnt be the only pirate on that weekend... right...?

Unless you are not at all interested in the Kings Feast, I usually ride down early Sat and do the two day pass and the feast. Kick around Sat afternoon and evening and watch the fireworks, do the King;s Feast on Sunday early lunch and then come back.
