Sure, I understand some wear it as a statement. So what! What gives when a troll posts how cool they thing they are because he saw someone dressed as a poser wearing a doo-rag. Some people need to get a life. I do not measure the worth of a man, a rider by whether he wears or does not wear a doo-rag, chaps, a pin and badge covered vest or fingerless gloves. Those who do must live very shallow lives.

I did not read the history of Doo-rags. I did not read the history of chaps, or pins, or fingerless gloves. I do what works for me and two out these four work for me. I am happy if 4 out of 4 or none out of 4 work for you.

My current doo-rag was given to me by another rider in Thompson Falls, Montana, in 2009. My ride bell was given to me outside Houston, TX complete with the Star of Texas. Some of the things we do we do because it means something to us and we don't give a crap what it means to anyone else. Sometimes you meet incredible people on the road and form lifetime friendships through simple gifts.
