Oh shit, thats what those things are. I always thought they were leather bangles that dolled up their bikes. Daaamn, was i off course. Nasty little ditties for sure.
@jenette16 That's the point I'm trying to convey. We thought the same as you. Could you imagine how bad one would feel after one of those things got hung up on a car. Or anything. And we just wanted to spruce our rides up.
No loose clothing or loose flying things from a bike or riding to close to a vehicle because things they would just run over because of slow reaction time could shoot out from the back and literally take a head off or limb or could get caught in spokes or even blow a front tire or rear while interstate riding at a higher speed and if you have never blown a tire this way its not a happy ending, I've watched a young man wreck and go flying long ways through the air and an aluminum light pole went right through him and I turned around to find him hollering his legs were gone and used his arms to pull him self towards me and it was terrible to watch .
@user-ft8kz6yc2q JESUS!!!! That's the point I'm emphasizing. We ride for the absolute pleasure. Knowledge helps keep us as safe as possible in a deadly sport. We don't need any help with things that are mindless Hazzard. Have you ever become an instant genius after a accident was created by not being aware. I'm actually trying to help. Thank you for you commenting.
@@janetgilmore8006 we were out that way this month. We traveled all over on our bikes. Shame we couldn't have fished those lakes. I'm an avid fisherman also. Ty for your comment
@@parcadv419 yes..then Glendo then we did not get fish at Glendo so we packed up and drove at night to Walden Co. Cowdry was great for big Rainbows seems they love that copper spoon , ate some nice meals of fresh rainbow trout , now we are camped at Delaney Butts the fishing is better at night Browns on Wooly buggers all colors olive, black green with 4ft leader with bubble copper spoon just before dark we got good hits and ate 2 nice Browns last night ..? Good luck ..
'Get back whips' look cool but I think their purpose is childish and they don't even actually do anything. Like, you think someone who's paying so little attention that they're running you over is going to stop and swerve because of a rope? And how are you going to actually use it faster than you could have just avoided the vehicle? Plus, I really don't like the idea of having dangly bits on my bike just begging to catch something. To each their own and I'll never judge anyone for having them but, they're just not for me. I'll do other, probably dumber, stuff to my old p.o.s. bike.
They barely move in the wind at 90 mph so I don’t think they are a hazard, other than to use it as a weapon. But that’s not for me, and that’s not my style, and don’t care much for it.
Literally just watched a video last night of a guy that had a sleeping bag come unraveled and got stuck in his back tire. Locked it up and he high sided. Lost his lower leg over it.
Those are "get back whips." They're not superficially attached to the bike. They pop of easy. They're there for those times when some asshole in a red t top tries to turn into the bike. Not intimidation. That car driver will think more than twice next time after the first time they have to replace their windshield because they got whipped by this biker. Yes. It's necessary.
@mmruma your right. Once that admission was made . He had left. It would have been a better clip if I had. I have talked to several riders about these but when I saw this bike I just went for it.
Get back whips are a quick disconnect and should only be used by people who MIND THIER OWN BUSINESS! The real "bad idea" is posting a video about something you know ZERO about.
@CLADAWG Have SEEN THE ONES WITH GRAPPLING HOOKS . Sure to snatch of what ever comes in contact. These will sell out. Then snatching DONT DO THIS CAN READ , OH HELL HE DID IT ANYWAY.
It always reminded me of little girls with the tassels hanging off the grips. Kinda makes the bike look lame imo. But i have bad taste so take that for what little its worth 🤷🏼♂️
@cali5ive124 my wife saw them and was just like a little girl . She was all about getting them. I'm happy she went with the small fringe on her seat instead.
They’re attached to the brake and clutch levers which is even worse imo. Harley riders love to play dress up with themselves and their bike instead of just leaving the thing functional and wearing a helmet lmao
No, I don't see what you're saying. There's no way in hell those are going to catch on a guard rail or another vehicle. All your doing is complaining like a little bitch.
You sound like someone who would like to trample over more of my liberties, to keep me safe. Maybe that's the reason for the device, to keep you out of my lane 🤨
