Why do harley riders wear skulls?

Okay then, jus' git yourself a beer, pop or a coffee.
Why do 'bikers' where skulls. This, according to "Gumby".
(Back me up here, Schu )
Anywho, the skull is actually a very, very old religious symbol. It is on gravestones from back before I was born.
Anywho, it was the Germans, who associated the skull with 'the military' as in medals and symbols. And the skull took on a 'dark' meaning vs the religious.
When a lot of the veterans came home, and they had the proverbial 'fall out' in Hollister, those vets that broke off to join the 1%ers (as per the 'reporter') used those German medals as symbols of rebellion towards the establishment. Also signified you prob'ly didn't want to 'ruffle' the young man's feathers, if ya think about how he GOT those medals in the first place.
Is that true? ELEPHINO, but it sorta sounds good.
And "Hell's Angels" was actually a name used by numerous flight squadrons since WW1, most notably, a WW2 bomber squadron. Long before the HAMC.
Oh, and almost forgot, they MUST be jus' POZER fodder, by now.
Gots no skulls on my scoots, 'cepting the nummm one holdin' the bars.

I just have skulls because I like them.
Oh yeah, and because I'm really a zombie.

Riding a motorcycle is dangerous....Wearing a skull says your already dead to the spirts. Goes way back to the days of pirates. Just saying.....

I read that from the old pirate days it was a symbol to ward off evil spirits. Kind of a 'don't tread on me sign'. But I don't know if that's true or not. I have chrome skull foot pegs. I like 'em!
