A brother died some years back and a friend asked if I could put his ashes in it somehow so his close friends and family could have him ride with them everywhere they went. My friend found some hard wooden beads about 5/8" that we drilled, then put the ashes in. Now our badly missed friend is still riding.

Those are way cool. I've seen ash tubes and other containers in necklaces but that's a great idea!

I personally, don't like them. They would distract me.

It would also distract me if the braid was attached to a different riding device. Such as....



...instead of a fat, old biker.

Well given the choice of protecting myself with a get back whip or a 9 shot .22 revolver, I'll take the .22. (just to keep the thread on topic of those leash things.)

I attached a leash to my bike's left handlebar but my damned dog is trained to heal on my right side. So he kept trying to run in front and cross over!
