About biker culture?
I saw my first knife strapped to a motorcycle last night. Now I'm curious if it signifies anything, or if it's simply 99%er flair? To me it seems like it's a good way to instigate a flight, but what do I know?

Counterclockwise?

Looks to me that knife is for one thing and it's not for peeling apples.

Seems like a ratcheting knife to me. He looks like an SAE type of guy.

Billy Lane used to build his choppers with a metal ring below the gas tank that held a ball peen hammer. I looked up the reason for it. Its designed to mete out punishment.
I've seen plenty of choppers with a 5 foot braided leather whip clipped to the handlebars. I looked up the reason for it. Its also to mete out punishment. The knife is a new one on me, but I don't imagine its used to spread peanut butter on an apple.

When he's pulled over the cops will approach with guns drawn. And knowing what happens when cops point their guns at people these days it not the smartest think to do.

Most are living out some sort of outlaw fantasy, playing dress up if you will.
There are real 1% ers still out there though, pagans, warlocks, mongols etc. |

I saw the thing strapped to the handlebars and assumed it was a box end wrench so roadside repairs could be done.   ATGATT or stay home. Best Les

Why would anyone keep a weapon out where anyone could grab it. That seems especially stupid.

Why would you have a knife in FL unless you are a felon. Everyone else is strapped.

Except because the guy was a douche we laughed as we watched him tear his car apart thinking he’d dropped it in there - then told him the next day. |
