At the present time, I'm like Martin Luther King, I have a dream. That is to own a Road King. Just wondering what the SKULL represents on Harley bikes or clothes? Wanted to know the meaning behind the SKULL before I bought a bike that was dressed in SKULL's.
Pssst....At the present time, Martin Luther King is Dead.
No skulls on my bike, though I do have a nice skull ring I got from http://www.nightriderjewelry.com/
I have a buddy who hates skulls so I stick in his face when he's giving me crap, (he's a jokester).
From: 12 year, Colombia, 4 years Mexico, currently In Kuwait, but Boston is HOME!!
Hey Man, it is all abotu what you like. If you lke skulls there are tons of them to buy, if you dont, then whatever you dont like them. Other dudes are not riding your bike so you make it how you want it. For me, I like them and will put them on in a nice fashion. I am even putting money aside now for next year for a new skull paint job.
Not quite sure anyone is going to come up to me and say how cheeze my bike is, if they did I would just have to say..... to each their own, go ride your bike. Alot of people here let their opinions fly about what they like, and that is a good thing cause we are all passionate about our bikes, but I'm not so sure any one will express how lame your bike is with skulls at a rally or bike meet. In my opinion if people did this type of thing they would be 1st rate ********!!! Here we can do it and we should it is part of the fun, but dont let others steer you away form being you. Now I will agree that before you go blinging out your bike with whatever you like; AC, headers, Slips, and maybe some cams should be the 1st priority, cuase before you bling it out, you want it to run like a raped ape!!! JMO
I have skulls on my bike bcuz the first bike I fell in love with when I was a kid had skulls on it. I dont really care if anyone likes my bike, I didn't buy it for other ppl to like. I call them lucky charms cuz I would rather ride death than be scared of it. With all the wacko drivers out there if I were afraid of death I wouldn't be riding a bike.
