Default Rubber Chicken

I've done a forum search and a google search and couldn't find any real answer. What's up with the rubber chicken I've seen hanging off bikes? Is it the new gremlin bell? I've seen a couple small keychains but mostly what I'm refering to are the full size fkucing ruber chickens lashed to trunks and frames and handlebars of Harleys.

A few years ago it was a bar hopping karaoke thing. Seems like everybody had them.

Haven't seen any rubber chickens but my dog has a rubber turkey (see pic). After reading this I might take it and put it on my bike. The dog probably won't like it but she'll get over it.

What drives me up the wall is a google image search will bring up dozens of pictures of rubber chickens sticking out of saddlebags, hanging off bars, and lashed to luggage racks- but NONE of them are linked to a website with any explaination. I'm beginning to think this is some international inside joke...

It's like the top rocker of a M/C. But they are for the KFC M/C
