I was waiting for that comment,to be honest it was a gift from my youngest granddaughter. Sometimes you have to think positive ( Negative waves - YouTube ) and bite the bullet. TOMCAT has it right,it's an old school thing . I've seen them 4 feet long Old-School "Getback" Biker Whip - Chilhowee Motorcycle Leather

1% used to display their colors using tassels then there's the ole west cowboy/indian theories, keeping rain away and allowing it to run off. Assyrians and Babylonians believed the fringe assured the wearer of the protection of the gods. Kinda like the little bell that keeps evil spirts away.Now that you got the history lesson YOU of all people should know how sensative young children are,it would break her little heart if i took them off...

Just yesterday I drove up a nice twisty road I had driven in my car before but wanted to on the bike. A few hours into it I pulled off and took a couple pictures. One of the welcome to the town I was in sign - Volcanoville and the other was the snow on the ground. I only came back cause my lady had send about 6 texts to me wondering where I was, and the ground was wet in a few places and after seeing the snow I didn't want to run into any patches of ice and wreck. I saw a youtube vid of a guy on a victory that did that and it didn't look to fun. Anytime to ride is a good time.

The road was auburn to hwy 49 - 193 if any local people read this and are wondering a nice place to ride.

I attended CSU, Chico back in the seventies. Certainly no shortage of great riding out your way. Boy, did I love carving through the Sierra Nevadas on my Hondas, a CB 350 and a 750F, back in the good old days!
