And the winner is...........!

 

They are used to fish for them flying carp.

 

I can understand your frustration but it is wise to live and let live. Let me share a story from a ralley I attended a few years back. I was there with my brother (retired navy seal) and two of buddies. A dudelookin like a football jock who I eyeballed walking around stops at my brothers bike (yup you guessed it he's got tassles on his levers) and says "what gay MF ownes this tassled POS". Oh **** is the first thing that comes to my mind as I'm looking at the other two friends as they get a grin on their faced which usually means let the fun begin. In the flash of a milli second my bro is on his feet and right in his face holding a blade just under his jaw on his left side of his neck. I'm the gay MF do you want to see what this blade feels like as I violate you with it? The rest is history but the story ended without anybody dying and the dumb jock ended up partying with us with a red outline of the blade on his neck the whole time. The moral to the story, live and let live or the life you sacrifice could be your own.

 

Yep to each there own, but I can't stand them and would never ride a bike with them.

 

And all that action from tassels your couldn't make it up? .....

 

Hang 'em on a fatbob, they be tassels. On a Heritage, they be fringe.
Now rant about White Walls or Chrome Wheels. Do a clean bike bother you?

 

Floor board tassels are the best.LOL!

 

Depends on the bike. Tassels & fringe don't look bad on,say, a stock Pan or Knuckle. Maybe even a Springer. But on a bagger or Dyna? Nah.

 

I don't really care if someone has them or not. I don't understand the look/purpose, but whatever.

Funny side note. My wife has mentioned wanting to ride... me and my buddy immediately started planning her bike out, oddly with tassels, dual fishtails, whitewalls, spokes, etc.... Not sure why we both jumped to that look. It honestly wasn't a "chick-bike" thing. I think maybe we both have repressed west-coast style desires.

 

Is it odd for folks to post coments about HARLEY owners and their equipment including their choice of clothing when they did'nt have a ride of their own?
