    Skulls and Flames

    What's the affinity some Harley riders have for skulls and flames on their bikes? What's that all about?

    C'Man, you have waaaaaaaaaaayyyy too much time to think about these things. I would assume it's the whole "outlaw biker" thing.

        Well, what's a skull have to do with outlaws? Anyway as you can see I have questions that I need answered before my golden years are over. Thanks for your participation in helping out.

          We don't need those for image. We like rice burners. A real fun night was to get our little group together and drive over to the Harley biker bar and make fun of their lack of cylinders.

            The skulls and flames are because puppies and daisies would look really gay on the leathers...

              Hey Cab,

              As they say in some circles i know, "I can tell you, but then I'd have to kill you".

              But then you SF guys have that T-shirt that says "Kill them all and let God sort it out".

              Merry Christmas

                    Mike,

                    Why am I not surprised. Although I didn't realize that Jarheads were bright enough to thunk that one up.

                      Now you know...
                      I read most of the article and clicked on a link to 'Sonny' Barger, founder of the Oakland chapter. According to the write up, he was still active with a chapter in the Phoenix area as of 2007. And this is now a man of 70!

                        You'll go on Pappy's "S" list with that one.

                            Hey Guys,

                            At last I finally made it to the top of something.

                            Bruce

                            Merry Christmas, Don.

                              What if you did a rabid, slobbering, chewing-on-a-shoe-with-the-foot-still-in-it, killer were-puppy and a poison-spitting killer daisy?
