Question
Im not trying to be smart or funny here...but, doesn't the name “GET BACK WHIP”[ imply that its function is to indeed hit things? Whether that be a car etc? I know those side views come off pretty easy without any whip. 😎 QUOTE=Mi3ninos;18225106]1. Ive seen thousands on bikes. Decades ago at CoC meetings, club events, benefits, these were common in club colors.
2. Ive NEVER seen or even heard of ANYONE using it as a weapon or on a cage. This myth will never die if the inexperienced "bikers" continue to believe it.
3. Once stickers became easier to make, more common, greater variety etc the GBW became a rare decoration.
5. I have one packed away somewhere in club colors. A gift from a diff era.
Don't care if you have one or not.[/QUOTE]

For those wondering, it shouldn't cause a front brake endo situation, because...panic snap.
In horse tack, a panic snap is a mechanism often used between a lead and a horse harness or halter. They are useful because, unlike swivels or carabiners and similar fittings, they can be disconnected under load, as the panic snap is specially built so that the latching mechanism is separate from the load-bearing structure.

I would try a swap meet or a rally. Also leather shops. Not sure if these were covered already. Just a thought: I wouldnt put one on my bike bc it brings attention.
I don't know about other parts of the country, but I see them in almost every independent store catering to bikers, whether it's a mostly leather store or if they sell parts and have a couple of service bays. The indy store I most often visit, the guy that owns it makes 'em. Don't think I've ever seen a leather one. All that I've seen are made of paracord. I'll bet that Kuryakyn or other big-time scooter-centric catalog sellers offer 'em. Probably some of the smallish-time ones do too. I'd bet that they're sold by vendors at large events too. They're around.

Alternative
a monkey fist is a good one. Learn the knot and use 550 cord.

Yes it does. Same as assault rifle implies the owner will use it to assault someone. Not all owners of switch blade knives are street
thugs either. I'm just sayin Ive never known of one being used as a weapon.

Intention
Having a whip shows intent. Thats my point. When I have my pistol on me, the need to use it may not be there but the intent is. If you dont plan on using it dont have it. What? It looks cool? Hahaha! [QUOTE=Mi3ninos;18226462]
