Default RE: Skull stuff

I dont 'do' skulls. Maybe once upon a time it was cool, but to me its just another cliche. I mean, it kinda looses its bad-assed-ness when your dentist who puts a stunning total of 1200 mile a year on his bike only going to HOG meetings has the whole skull collection of stuff on his bike.

Dont get me wrong. If you like them, then by all means have them.

I just dont like them.

Here's a good article referencing skulls and the motor crowd: http://motorcyclecity.com/skulls/

Last HD I had had 23 skulls total. Current one has zero.

But I have this one on my right calf:

Live to ride is is fine if it's true about you.
Work to ride, ride to work is closer for me.
Skulls on the other hand is something I like to scare off the "hey mister, can I sit on your bike" people.
