Old-SchoolBiker Whip, and it would prolly hurt likea MF... think my belt buckle would be worse tho ...

whipsare usually made from the biker's club colors - to display their colors and for club recognition. But the whips were a whole lot more than just leather club colors. A biker whip could be quickly released and used "in case of emergency".

you too can have a bad *** biker whip ... for only 39.95
