RE: "Skull's"
It could remind you to keep death in front of you. That is, don't take your life for granted, as it could be snuffed out at any given moment. Life life to the fullest, because you never know when your time is up. Not to be a spreader of doom and gloom, but I have a neon skeleton figurine in my truck, and it is a reminder to me that death is inevitable, sooner or later.

RE: "Skull's"
Ahoy Matees!
Didn't any of ya' scabbees see Pirates of the Caribbean?
Avast, the old skull and crossbones goes back to the days of pirates and seafarin ne'er-do- wells as a way to scare the beejeebers out of the common man.
Even further back the skull has incited fear in mere mortals to the point where the average man saw them and shivered in their d@mn boots or whatever they was a' wearin' on their two stinkin' feets.
It's just a modern nod to the days when men were men and intimidation was everything!
Ahoy! Now back to swabbin' the decks ye landlubbers or there be no grog nor gruel in yer futures!

RE: "Skull's"
I like skulls, have tattoos and the bike has em, several shirts and more to come, tatts and what ever else I can come up with. I like em. I do not know exactly why, dark, death, unknown, danger, ROCK???????? I have liked them since I was a kid. I like fire to, for I guess the same reasons as the skulls. It is just like anything else folks collect or have some type of hobby towards. I do not understand why bleach white people have tons of indian type collectables or grown adults collecting Star Wars junk.
RE: "Skull's"
It's the anti authority in all of us Harley Riders that makes us put things like skulls on our bikes.

RE: "Skull's"
I must admit I to am a skulloholic. My bike has a ton of skulls all over. I have a custom paint job that I have not had time to count how many skulls are involved and skull mirrors and a few HD skull accesseries. My helmet is covered with skulls like my bike. Once you get started you just can't stop. It's getting so bad that you may find me out on the corner late at night trying to score some more SKULL!
