Default kinda like...

Ever walk into a bar you've never been in before and eveyone in the room turns to look at you?

As you pull up to the bar you think..."Hey, what was that all about?"

Could be anything.

At least the rag looks cool I guess.

I'll start to worry about Harley World when I see guys ridin' down the road with a roll of toilet paper on their handle bars

I use mine to quickly disguise my face when I rob a gas bar for a pack of smokes.

"braided leather lanyard hanging off the clutch lever"

That's a speedometer. When it's parallel to the ground in the wind you are going just the right speed. That equals about 80 MPH.

I use mine for all of the above......Lens cleaner, gas rag, sneeze rag, maxi pad (for the gal on the back if she is so inclined), gay id. (oops, not that one), robbery, dust mask, and so many other uses. In fact it is more useful than a can of Lemon Pledge. But I never thought to tie it to my handle bars. I keep mine tucked into my back jeans pocket. Silly me.

Geez, I thought the reason for being on the bars was to let it air dry after a bit of use clearing out the nasal passages so it could be used again without gettin' your hands all wet!
