When facing a difficult task, act as though it is impossible to fail. If you're going after Moby Dick, take along the tartar sauce.
There are many people attaching "tassels" to their bikes now because they think it looks cool.Dennis
Not to offend anyone, but I'd hate to tell someone I had a "tassel" on my bike. It just don't sound too masculine. Same with fringe IMO. But then I think about the little bell hanging off my bike..................???
lemme see, a "get back whip"??? must be a yuppie thing, sorta like ride bells, or the goofy garfield stuffed animal that people used to bungee on the back of their goldwings? i just don't get it. a whip for riding a bike? does this sound a bit like paranoia? wait till someone grabs that whip from you and whups your ass with it. if i felt the need or the lack of self confidence to ride my bike without a weapon, i think i'd give up riding altogether. i'm assuming that a get back whip is some sort of short version of a bullwhip? thanks anyway indiana jones.
Jim,
You seem to have a strong opionion about the type of rider who rides with a "get-back" whip on their bike. I suggest you walk up to the next rider you see with one and tell them they're a yuppie and should give up riding if their that paranoid. You don't mind if I just stand back and watch, do you?????

CHL and Springfield XDM-40 with Cross Breed IWB holster. Using a whip against a cage will only make a bad situation worse.
It’s not for use against a cage it is used to attract the driver’s attention. The eye is attracted to movement; drivers don’t always notice a motorcycle because it is moving at or close to the same speed. The movement of the “get back” will attract attention and just might keep you from getting run over.
Funny thing is, most of the guys that have been ridin' 20, 30, 40 years ain't never heard of these. Maybe when they say "back in the day" they're talking like a long, long time ago, ya know, like back in the late 90's, maybe even back way further when dinosaurs ruled the earth and the twin-cam hadn't come out yet, you know, the early 90's!!!!
LMAO!!!!
