The willie skull and the live to ride/ride to live bling should of died years ago.
Yep. I swore years ago that if I were ever blessed enough to own a Harley, and it had anything that said "Live To Ride, Ride To Live" on it, it was coming off. My '94 Fatboy had gas tank medallions with that crap.
You could always tell a newby to Harleys by that live to ride stuff. Remember seeing a fully eagled up as it was known when a bike sported the full set on a Sportster that was about 6 years old and had all of 4,000 miles on the clock.
I get the live to ride/ride to live but why the willie g skull?
I know a guy that has the live to ride/ ride to live collection all over his bike. He puts on at the most 100 mile a year. also has the chap, leather jacket skull hat. Even wears them to parties.
I remember my first new Harley, I bought a live to ride air cleaner cover and thought it looked so cool! That was in 1988. Years later I remember buying a Harley from someone that was festooned with live to ride covers, and I made him take them off and put the stock stuff back on before I would buy it because I was too embarrassed to ride it home.
went to a local bike night back then, Nathan's in Oceanside Long Island, put down a towel and laid all the live to ride stuff on the towel with a sign that said "free". At the end of the night it was all still there.

You didn't use the towel as a buttcloth, did you? That might explain the lack of interest.
