I love doo rags so much I put a switch on my bike to access a hidden compartment to hold two of them. I hit the switch and an actuator slides the rocker boxes out,one left,one right. Its custom made,and cost quite a lot of $ I figure what hell,you only live once.

"Doo rags" come from a time long ago when black guys would konk their hair. A doo rag as in hairdo would keep your konked hair in place during the day so it wouldn't get mussed up for looking good at night.

Those things I see on some Harley riders are called pirate flags. I'm bald and wouldn't be caught dead with a doily on my noggin.

Yup...

actually, they're called 'skull caps'.....

and like FLULtrarider, when my helmet comes off, so does my skull cap (or doo rag if you prefer). keeps my helmet clean longer, keeps the sweat out of my eyes, and keeps my helmet in place.

aaaaaarrrrrr, call me a pirate if you want, but idgaf what you think anyway
