I feel the same (I did actually wear jeans last Sunday!). I've never taken the bike to church though at least one guy does once in a while, usually because I'm towing wife and kids along. I run the video production stuff at our church so I get to go to a lot of services, sometimes three in a Sunday, although on a warm summer Sunday I have been known to employ this favorite montra: "I'd rather be on my bike thinking about God, then sitting in church thinking about my bike."

You should come to church with me. My riding clothes are my church clothes. If you can't go to church comfortable I would find another church. I do have a suit that I were on special occasions like when I doing a wedding or funeral. I'm not a pastor but still ordained minister. Jeans and a golf shirt on Sundays and jeans and t shirt on Wednesdays. Instead of dropping your daughter off at church go with her. "A family that prays together, stays together" I quote Red Skelton. In fact as it gets colder I will be wearing leather and don't forget my colors. There is a group of riders that ride that attend my church, in fact we have a ride every fall to the mountains and Deals Gap.

I sometimes feel silly rolling up to church with the pipes and leather, dropping off my daughter but, then again, I love it, because I know I have a true love of riding and am much happier riding in complete isolation on an open country road then riding through town "impressing people". I know I'm not a "poser", others might think so, and well, I guess the fact that they think I am and I know I'm not, makes it even more fun.
PS
I told a story a while back about getting busted racing on the highway by my pastor, well, it filtered back to my wife, ugh! You always get caught in the end.
