Wow. These guys are so hard. They keep a motorcycle next to a heap of oversized Tupperware containers in the garage of their 3/2 lennar homes.

It's what they use to spank each other when they get off their bikes and are in their leather. Just ask Darth, he loves a good get back whip.

Get real close to one while driving and he'll show you.

I think you use them to check for mud levels or something. If the mud is above the bottom of the whip, you can’t drive through it. That’s what Darth said at least.

Goddamn, you’d have to try and side bump them to be in range. They’re definitely getting bumped off the road if they slap my car with that bullshite. frick it, it’s old enough...be funny to see them deploy it in anger.

I figured it was for dogs, though I can’t imagibe being bitten by a dog is that likely. I used to ride touring bikes, and my water bottle was my get back whip.

its for self defense against bad drivers and road rage

when a guy slings that across your windshield or on the side of your car you will stop crowding him

Back in the day, you'd see bikers sporting whips - hanging from their clutch or brake levers as they rode. The leather whips were usually made from the biker's club colors - to display their colors and for club recognition. ... A biker whip could be quickly released and used "in case of emergency."



About as silly as those colorful patches they wear on their leather vest to

They were used for weapons and to identify what biker gang you belonged to. Now it's just for decoration.
