I ride with fingerless gloves and a skull on my leather. Couldn't give a rats azz who likes it and who doesn't. To each his own, live and let live. I'M COMFORTABLE

I have over 18 skulls on my bike and I like every one of them. Might even get some more if I know you're not cause I don't want my bike to look like anyone elses.

How was it that it became know as "Willie G Skull"?
Did HD create it?
He may have sketched the skull outline, may have hired someone to do it or may have copied the idea from some graffiti artist, who knows and what difference does it make?

Don't know, I have a couple on my bike. Like the look of it better than most of the derby covers out there.

I dont think its much of a story. Willie G Davidson went to a graphic designer to put a series of parts out and had a skull designed. Im not really sure of the question.
