Default Question for you "Real Bikers" ;)

My wife bought me WILD HOGS the movie last night. We sat down and watched it and then at the end Peter Fonda shows up. Right be fore he leaves them he says ...

" One last thing, lose the watches"

So my question is, DO REAL BIKERS NOT WEAR WATCHES??

Watch the opening scene of 'Easy Rider' and you'll understand.

I think it is supposed to mean that watches are constrictive. Like real bikers are free from everything, and it's the lure of the road away from all distractions. If you have a watch, you're on a schedule and aren't free. I dunno. Pretty funny movie with some awesome bikes though

I think you are supposed to have one of those biker watches mounted to your handle bars or a clock on the radio on your bagger. This would make wearing a watch redundant.
