Not a fail, but mad props...



Texting while riding? Is that the dog's leash still on the handlebar?

It's attached to the front brake lever to remind him not to touch it or suffer immediate death. Sort of the opposite of a "Remove before Flight" ribbon. Or maybe it's so the passenger can give it a tug and slow the bike, sort of like the chains that used to hang along the wall in old trains!

We've touched on that thing, it is to whip cars and there is a website that sells them. Living the stereotype of a bad HD rider. (As opposed to a true motorcyclist that just happens to like harleys.) I can't believe that it is actually attatched to the brake lever, what could possibly go wron there?
It also looks like it could whip his kid back there while she's texting or playing angry birds.

I saw a pick up today with a license plate frame declaring, "owned by a harley davidson owner." Struck me as odd, I guess it's kind of like Baby on Board and you are supposed to be extra cautious around it.

Hang one of these bad boys from your waist to complete your biker outfit, if you really want to make a statement. Fringe at the end of the whip can vary between 6-8" from the tie off.
Yo ho, yo ho...

Wow, because I don't like to see people get hurt I must be fat, drunk, and stupid? Personal attacks are a great addition to any thread.

Oh and if you're going to insult someone get the terminology right, it's my screen name, not my sig, that refers to my fraternity.

FYI, The Eta Triton Chapter of Phi Sigma Kappa, at the time I was a member, was an unofficial military fraternity. Everyone in it at the time was either in the Reserves, prior service, a brat, or in ROTC, like I was. That is, was, until I got hurt in a motorcycle accident and got medically discharged. Hang on a second, I think I've got the pictures around here somewhere. I'm sure you'll relish the opportunity to laugh at my misfortune, which prevented me from continuing in the service.
