Where have you been? There are quite a few keyboard pilots around here who comment in this forum, and in all the sub-forums, on topics than don't concern them, or about which they know absolutely nothing. Maybe they have nothing better to do, or feel compelled to get their two cents in wherever possible, or are just raising the old post count.Consider it aa mystery.

Mortality.....and the fact nobody here survives this Earth........

 

You'd never guess, but I kinda like the HD Skull. People who don't just must be stoopid. So are the people who like chrome or not enough of it.And what's with the blacked out stuff....that's really dumb....and boogie lights...and god...and those leather streamers on handle bars...and ape hangers...and really tall sissy bars....and whats with solo seats, how do you pick up chicks? [8D]

p.s. my bike is faster than yours...na na na na na na

 

Skulls can mean DEATH......or BADAS$.....
or could mean 'wannabe'.
Hard to tell the difference sometimes until it is too late.
(If the bike has a cup holder, and it has a cup full of tobacco juice........
your guess is as good as mine) LOL

 

Reminds me that I am mortal.Plus, I like them.

I dont have any skulls on my bike but I have one in my head. Its a very nice looking one, and while chicks think its a decoration I like it because it houses my brain. And some people dont think I have a brain but honest, its right there inside my skull.
so my answer is...
I only have 1 skull on my bike and it houses the nav system.

 

I have been drawing skulls and other Grim Reaper type drawings since I was kid,have played guitar for atleast 24 years now, have always loved Harleys and skulls. They just all seem to go together.

I just think that they are cool. I also think that the Live to Ride theme has long been worn out. Thats just my opinion. (If you like them, good they are onyour bike and you will not find one on my bike).

To me the Harley Skullmakes a personal statement for mewhich is similar to Live toRide, that statement being" RideTill You Die"!

 

I know this is an old thread, but I came across it and feel like putting in my 2 cents despite the many posts complaining about whether or not people should or shouldn't comment on the subject (LOL).

I think the definition of the Harley Skull began to develop leading into 1930's. By this time the reputation of Harley riders was they were rebels and outlaws. Their skull and wings logo was inspired by the skulls and cross bones logo typically associated with pirates, poison or death. HD created their own version with wings rather than bones. I think the skulls have stayed so popular because everyone has that inner rebel just wanting to come out (some let it out more than others obviously). There certainly are the many posers out there who simply want to look the part which takes away from the authenticity and believability of the true "Harley bada$$" aura.

I don't know the full history on the logos, but there is a plethora of information online for anyone who wants to know where the logos came from. Personally I like skulls. At the studio I worked for in New York I made motorcycle club patches and one of the clubs we made them for had a large decrepit skull as their center patch. It was cool and not like many other skulls out there. They wanted that bada$$ look and they certainly were. lol
