Memento Mori
What's the fascination with skulls? Prevalent in the Harley culture of course but they are everywhere. From day of the dead tattoos on girls to skulls on pajamas. I just don't get it.
Each to his own. If that's your thing it's none of my business but damn you just can't get away from them. I don't care for them, but some how I still ended up with one t-shirt and a pair of sweat pants with skulls...
Anyway, I was just wondering.

I think in their mind it makes them look like a bada** or something. Same reason many folks buy a Harley... The image.
Always cracks me up when I see some suburbanite cruising around in shorts and sneakers on a bike covered in skulls and flames.
...the toughest accountant in the city

Back during the leave it to Beaver days when bikes and the riders were considered a " rough fringe crowd " anything socially unacceptable was a way to shock all the Ward & June Clever's out there by putting in their faces. Fast forward 35 years with a sharp marketing campaign and 10 plus million new riders it's just tacky like everything else harley and the badboy image that's been overdone to the point of absurdity.
