Since the thread has been resurrected, i'll say, my wife DID get me mine, she got it the colors my bike is. Black and blue. She Did intend for me to use it for things other than hanging from my clutch lever... and I have, many, many times. It hangs from my clutch lever for 3 reasons... one, I do think it looks kinda cool. 2. It makes me smile to see it, cause it, me, and the wife have been through a lot together. And 3, you never know when the urge is gonna strike the wife and she 's gonna wanna pull over somewhere and i'll need it.

For all you old-timers who like to try to say unless I heard about it, it didn't happen......
Chances are, unless you were an 1% MC member or support club, you wouldn't have known about them even "back when."
A get-back whip was/is used as a weapon especially when equipped with a heavy brass spring-clip on the business end of the whip. They aren't classified as a "weapon" so the cops can't arrest you for carrying one. Just as a six-cell maglite flashlite isn't classified as a weapon. But both, when used correctly, can cause some serious damage.
Here in north Texas, I can attest that many of the members of the 1% MC and support groups carry get-back whips. Attend one of the COC or United Federation of Clubs monthly meetings in the State of Texas and see what I'm talking about.

Here in NM we carry handguns. Never bring a whip to a gunfight. One 1%er did a week or so ago. Tried to teach a rival club member some respect. Hit him in the head with his whip or asp or baton or whatever you want to call it. He's dead now. He got dead real fast.
Cops don't know yet who the shooter was that capped the guy looking for respect. That's because there was so many shooting.
Here in NM you don't need a CHL to carry concealed while riding, your private conveyance is considered an extension of your home.
But please, whip on.
