If we have to expain it, you probable wouldn't understand. I think you are riding the wrong kind of bike, maybe you should have stayed with your honda.

[sm=confused06.gif] I was thinking about it. Why do we use a dead human's head as decoration for our bikes, hats, etc. Why not some other kind of bone?
(Dirty mind! I mean an arm bone, a leg bone, a hip bone, etc.) Why not a dead animal head or a hoof? How about a dog bone, or not a bone at all. We could have chosen ANY object, a rock, a tree, an arrow, a phallic symbol, a gun, a knife, a straight jacket (most accurate), a hearing aid (reserved for geezer glides only), a pole dancer (reserved for HDWG & Heather only), a wheel, a flower (reserved for liberals only), a bowl of whip cream (reserved for metrics only).................
I wonder who the first guy was that said, "Lets take the head of a dead man, strip all of the skin and tissue off of it, and hang it on a motorcycle". Was he a former pirate? A pigme? Or, I wonder if it was the same guy who came up with the international symbol for poison. At least we understand that symbol, it says to us, "If you drink this you will look like the skull and cross bones." Are we sending the same message to people who look at our bikes? "If you ride a Harley you will die!" If so, no wonder every busy-body in the world tells us that riding a motorcycle is so dangerous that we are going to leave our children fatherless / motherless! It's our own fault!

You ask why do WE use the human skull as a decoration. WE don't. Only a small group wanting to pass themselves off as 1%'s

Skulls were used as an evil decoration LONG before there were 1%er's.

You're right and I just don't understand why someone who was'nt EVIL would want something EVIL on their bike. That's where I have a problem with it. If the person isn't evil but passing themselves off as evil, that is a poser, right?

No man, if you like the skulls, keep them. A poser is someone who does something for the sole reason that they want to look a certain way for others. If you get rid of the skulls just because of something someone says to you then you become a poser in reverse! You like the skulls? Keep them. You don't like the skulls? Lose them. Be yourself an you can't go wrong!

I bought my bike with the skull leather tank "apron" and Skull battery box stick on. Just haven't had the time or extra cash to throw away on new ones. Would rather have the eagles *shrug*.
