There's a history behind these "Getback Whips". Back in the day, you'd see bikers hanging whips from their clutch or brake levers as they rode. The leather whips were usually made from the biker's club colors. But the whips were used for a whole lot more than just showing off the club colors. The whip could be quickly released and used "in case of emergency" to swing at anything that was causing a threat to the biker, hence the name "Get Back Whip"

If it goes with the bike DO IT! If someone is offended beacause of a color on your bike...F&^%$K EM!
It's my bike and I will put what I feel is appropriate on it regardless of the color or what people think!

You can use whatever colors you want.
Just don't try to pass yourself off as a member of any club unless you are a member period.

lemme see, a "get back whip"??? must be a yuppie thing, sorta like ride bells, or the goofy garfield stuffed animal that people used to bungee on the back of their goldwings? i just don't get it. a whip for riding a bike? does this sound a bit like paranoia? wait till someone grabs that whip from you and whups your *** with it. if i felt the need or the lack of self confidence to ride my bike without a weapon, i think i'd give up riding altogether. i'm assuming that a get back whip is some sort of short version of a bullwhip? thanks anyway indiana jones.

Lighten up Nancy. More of a fasion statement than a weapon unless your into taking a whip to a gun fight.

At work there are two bikes that park side by side just about everyday. One has what has to be a 6 foot blue and red get back whip hanging off the handlebars and the other has a Disney Tigger plush toy strapped to the tourpack rack.

For whatever reason, I think both are gay. Maybe its my parents fault...
