See a lot of baggers with these Get Back whips hanging from their front brake levers. I understand the potential use of such but what I cant figure out is the HOW? If I had to grab one with my right hand that means letting off the throttle, thus slowing down. If it was hanging from the left side clutch lever I couldnt swing **** with my left hand. So are they just for looks and the "cool" factor?

 

I have one on my front brake lever. I tried to run it on the clutch lever and since I am right handed it didn't work out so well. Mine is more for looks but I will use it if I need to. If it gets that far along I may just pull out the gun and end the dispute right then. You will just have to try it in different locations and see which work best for you. I have seen then on both sides.

 

 

Double facepalm FTW.

 

assuming we're talking about hitting cars with it? what happens if it hooks a mirror or antennae or something and gets stuck? what happens when the traffic breaks and the guy runs you down from behind on the next off ramp? just wondering.

What if the guy has a mattress?

 

huh ? Those are lever wraps with tassels or long fringe on the ends of then . Some people think they look cool on thier bikes flapping in the wind . It's like all the other fringe and dangly stuff some people like on their bikes . I don't like that myself , but to each his own .

 

BRM, why dont you try googling "get back whip" so you know what you are talking about?
