I've always been into evil looking stuff. Skulls being one of them. When I saw the skull collection it just fit my personality. I loved them. Long before the Willie G skull collection I was brought into a group of friends called "The brotherhood of the Skull". Any Texas folks may remember it from Stevens/Pruit/Greggo from 101.1 KLOL.

I have 20+ skulls and fingerless gloves...i still like them.
20+ years of riding and still a poser.

I own chaps, but hardly wear them unless long ride and really cold, does this help?

Not sure the question was really answered...alot of conjecture though. I dont know the story, but I read other places on this forum things like " I thought the skull collection was gay until I learned about the story behind it..."

If the "story" is that he drew it one day and it became a parts collection, that is pretty lame.

I was waiting for someone to actually say that. I always assumed the azzless chaps were worn around the house without pants or something...

Bought my Sporty used, it had two skulls on it - the gas cap which I was going to get rid of and the derby cover. I guess somebody thought I liked them so for my birthday I got every ***** G skull chrome piece in the catalog. They're just not that trick to me, but I might put them on (foot pegs, bolt covers, sissy bar, air cleaner and some things I don't even know what they're for) just because. Then again, they might look really good on e-Bay or to donate to some homeless biker charity for Christmas. Oh yeah, even got the matching leather jacket and gloves. (I admit I'm a poser so I can wear those right?)

And the hits just keep on coming. This crap of not being a real biker is sickening. The guy asked a simple question. If you don't know then don't come into the discussion and make comments about being a poser if you have them. I'll never understand people who hate Harley Jackets, shirts, boots, skull accessories, etc, etc. but insist on only riding a Harley motor cycle. You will give the MoCo 20k dollars for your bike, but not 25 for a shirt.
