To me skulls are a way of laughing at death. They do it in Mexico every year. Besides, they're always smiling.

You haven't heard? Skulls make people bad asses. Just add the pirate bandana and people instantly turn into the baddest ****** that walk the earth.

I am no Bad A$$, just and egg head Engineer who love skulls and loves to ride... I have a few on my bike, have a few shirts with them, have a sweatshirt with some on it... Why, because I like them, no other reason
