Skulls and Flames
I don't want to offend anyone but could someone tell me what the skulls and flames are all about? I realize different things appeal to different people, but I just don't get it.
Could somebody tell me what they mean to the motorcycle world?
Thanks

Initially we put skulls and flames on our bikes to intimidate the "civies" so we could enjoy the thrills of motorcycling all by ourselves. Nowadays unfortunately there are so many "civies" riding that the "hard core" bikers are seriously considering dropping the skull and flame motif in favor of a much MORE intimidating image of a stock certificate for shares in a failed Mortgage company.
Dunno about skulls, but, it's a scientific fact that flames make a bike go faster.
