Biker lore has it the "get back" whip adds 40hp to your ride and gives you 200 billy badass points too!
wow, that means harleys would be rocking 57hp total. Not a bad jump.
Forget the wip I have a get back Glock!
G27 all day every day
@@YogisCycleService gimmie a 26. 9mm follow up rounds be quick. Lol actually that’s what I got holstered now lol and everyday
...but with the whip, you don't have to wait for arraignment!
That seems odd but I guess if you're going to tie a handgun to the end of some paracord and swing it around, a Glock would be perfect since it's lightweight and sturdy.
🤣🤣😭😭😭😭Dam,,, roflmmfao,,
I work with a police officer his name is Justice Carver. Carver had a road rage incident with a car while he was riding his motorcycle. Carver only got road crash but he learned quickly that you dont road rage with cars when you're on a bike.
I’ve been on bikes since I was 5 in 1967,actually since 1964 when my dad took me for my first ride on his’58 Pan . These‘buggy’ whips are a poser thing that weekend warriors want to play with to look tough. Saw a guy with long trailing fringe on his Fatboy have a strong wind push his frills into his front wheel at a stoplight. Thought he was cool until the fringes locked his wheel and he dumped it. Whips are a poser thing. A real rider knows he’s a target anytime he gets on the bike,accepts it,and in extreme circumstances, deals with it like a man.
You hit the nail on the head with that statement, brother... Deal with it like 'Real MEN' Do!!!
Deal with it like a real man while riding your bike 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Some people just think they look cool…..
I like the Sig Saur get back whip . Sam Colt makes a good one too!
I got a Taurus Judge get back whip myself
We call the Staybacks out here in AZ.. Usually has a Monkey Fist around a ball bearing on the end..
Been riding 41 yrs, never had the desire to run with one....but I have been tempted to have nuts/bolts electrical tape bar bundle..tempted...I just found them best technique is just to stay as far away from cars/trucks...
Cheers
I’ve always got a Glock and a spark plug
@@kurkgarro2341 lol. I always have my Sig p229 Scorpion or Ruger Alaskan .454...don't need a spark plug. :)
Cheers
At first I thought they were disk lock reminders. Then I thought they were some S&M thing for weirdos. Thanks for explaining. I've no use for these.
You nailed it! Literally an aesthetic to look cool for the scooter hoochies, never seen one used in any sort of defensive manner.. if you get upset enough at a car while riding and you have time to grab that... the situation was not that serious! To each their own, but ive Never even thought about putting that nonsense my bikes, But i also dont wear harley attire , skulls ,or flames sooooo.... maybe im not hardcore enough for that!
It's all show , and is retarded and a great way to loose control of your bike if someone gets a hold of it and they Yank and send you into oncoming traffic
I have ridden solo trips all over the US without one. Including California where they are considered weapons and anything hanging from your bike that is not "permanently" attached is against the law. I don't know of any clubs that actually attach these to their bikes. Riding down the road on a bike pretty much makes these impossible to use unless you are at a stop. Using these against a dog just gives the dog something to grab onto. Using one against a person or their vehicle, well nowadays, you're likely to get shot. I carried one on my bike for a few weeks because I liked the way they looked. However, it just seemed to get caught up in my crash guard and in the way of my brake pedal, so the coolness factor went out the window and it got tossed in a bag with various motorcycle parts. Since then I've had plenty of people, including an ex-boyfriend who used to be in a 1% club, tell me they are for wannabes. You would be better off carrying a gun or tazer for protection. Or even a pipwrench or hammer which are perfectly legal. If it's dogs you are worried about then a can of pepper spray shoots a much longer distance than a modified dog leash. Personally, I carry a variety of protection, depending on where I am going. About 20 years ago there was one spot in a horrible unmaintained gravel road where I kept getting chased by a big German Shepherd. One time he bit my leg and drug me off my bike, causing me and my bike to go down. I had words with the owner and he refused to do anything, and the dog kept chasing my bike everytime I went by. I love dogs and I hated to do this, but I carried a can of wasp spray on my bike to keep this one dog from attacking me again. Getting sprayed once is all it took and he never bothered me again.
I saw a guy at the Cherokee North Carolina rally get beat half to death with one of these that had an eight ball on the end of it so don't tell me they're strictly for novelty sake
@@ronbranum4134 I'm not saying people ain't been beat with them, I'm saying I saw a guy get yanked out of control on his bike because he had it on his brake handle let alone his handlebars.
@@wolfking359 your point ? It was a get back whip that hangs from my friends front brake lever.. It served it's purpose that day, WELL !! a soft person would never use it the way it is intended . But a hard MF will .
SO I've been riding by the Grace for God 47 years. I've never had one of these . My thinking is the ones I've seen have been WAY to long enough to get tangled in the rear wheel then your REALLY not gonna have a nice day 😂Also I don't think it's advisable to wip at a car 🤔Piss off a cager and I don't care how barny bad ass you might think you are a motorcycle is gonna LOOSE EVERY TIME . My 3 and a half cents worth ( for inflation)😂👍😎
Exactly. A piece of leather doesn't make up for 3-8k of steel. Not to mention one could wipe themselves out trying to swing it at vehicle. Seems like a really stupid idea to me. I really like the idea of hanging it on the brake lever. Gonna be fun if it catches on something and fully applies the brake causing you to down the bike lol.
Inflation? Or canadian coins?
I’ve been saying the same. A car (and most people are driving SUVs and trucks now days) is far more dangerous than some dumb whip.
You whip truck. Truck “taps” your bike. You are dead on the side of the road.
Just stay away, pay attention, and don’t get angry. It’s not worth it.
Just keep a 45 and you won't lose nothing
Force = Mass x Acceleration; bike loses, and unrestrained biker takes the fall.
Just carry a D cell Maglight on the bike. And it's actually useful.
Extra note: That whip being handlebar mounted would be a great thing for someone nefarious to yank on and put a bike into a not so good situation.
Every time I see one on a bike I think the same thing.
Goodluck.you would find urself on your ass after the bike yanks you to the ground in the direction the bike was traveling. Try it with someone foot racing. You will surely see.and a motorcycle has way more weight to ensure you will be on ur ass. If your lucky enough to not get your arm yanked out of its socket
Or it gets stuck on something when riding
The panic snap would stop someone from being able to jerk your bars…
Thanks for this video! Brings back long ago memories. Thanks for the balanced show. I must admit, I know these to be weapons, although its more of a warning and a barrier when it is spun in the air.
Personally I would not get one longer than from your hand to the crook of your arm. In my case that's 12" for a spinning diameter of 24". Also the correct length for a professional baton. Any longer and you could injure yourself badly.
These days, I use a wooden bead necklace to practice my spinning routine, usually dancing in my living room! Oh you can still get hurt, proper length is critical. My take, thanks again!
I've been riding since I was a kid and my dad rode as well,these things are ridiculous ornaments so posers can try and look badass,I remember all the girls in my neighborhood had tassels on their bars too, ride because you love it not to impress.
I put whatever I want on my bike come to Texas and say it to my face
@@miguelalopezjr7012 My thoughts exactly. Fifty plus years on two wheels and I never heard of these. LOL
@@TM1Alan mountain bikes don't count
Always a necessity....for anesthetics of course....
Besides I saw a guy had real long get back whip hanging off his throttle side handlebar and when he went to go make a turn he ran it over and knocked himself over and since then I said those things are for assholes
Seems like something that would only cause road rage for anyone on the receiving end of it. Motorcycle vs car is a fight that ends badly for the motorcycle.
Probably me. I bought one that would get caught in my exhuast and lock my bars. I took it apart and made a shorter one with a golf ball in a monkey fist at the end
MAN THANK YOU FOR THIS INFORMATION Because I always wondered what they were😎
Thanks for commenting!! Hope you had a good weekend!
"In california a whip like this is considered an illegal weapon" EVERYTHING is an illegal weapon in California 😂
@Kaisan Productions
I'm pretty sure that a functional brain is considered an Illegal Weapon in California 😒
No one I know has ever gotten shit for it here in SoCal from cops. Just lucky I suppose. Lol fricken Cali.
Pretty sure it causes cancer too in California.
Only because bikers and clubs in California are active AF and don't use this as flare for the motorcycle like most others.
Unless you’re a criminal, then the lawmakers in Cali are okay with you having weapons
The clasp is called a "panic snap" and is used most commonly for hitching horses in trailers. If you pull on the rope hard enough, it will release in the same way as pulling down on the sleeve, although there's a much stronger spring in the rope end. They're designed this way so that if a horse falls in a trailer, the panic snap will release, and they won't be hanging from their halter inside the trailer.
Good explanation thank you!!
@@YogisCycleService you're very welcome
@@RustyCarnahan my grandma had 2 horses and I loved going to her place as a kid and to the rodeos. It has been many years since and I forgot more then I remember it seems. I did know the name panic snap but it escaped me at the time. Didn’t know that it was used when trailering horses. I thought it was more like something on a lead when breaking horses in or something like that. Have a good night! Appreciate it
The only thing I ever seen hanging off the handlebars was an old Indian Dude who hung something with beads and feathers with his medicine bag attached.
That was a beautiful piece of art man I loved looking at it.
I didn't know what it meant to him or was used for but according to him it was something he always kept with him no matter what.
Tonight has been one fun adventure CZcams has recommended biker stuff to me all day I've learnt so much stuff
Lol that’s funny
Interesting comments. I have had a get back whips on my bikes for over 25 years. Have absolutely used under different circumstances. Ride every day, everywhere.
Yes they are quite a variety of comments lol.
the idea of a biker whipping at a car like he's Indiana Jones is so lulzy
Only if your riding near the Temple of Doom ! 😄
Get cut off by a tard spiderweb their windshield and take off, a few rail road spikes in a saddle bag also works nicely.
@@HentaiZombie good thing many drivers are installing dash cams to catch assholes that destroy others property because they feel slighted in traffic.
@@oneslowcamaroify that's why they make plate brackets that flip up 👌 some are even spring loaded with a handle bar switch.
@@HentaiZombie my only hope is the driver getting their car hit makes a hard left on contact and smashes the bike and rider into the pavement then. Since property damage seems to be the biker response to everything. Drivers need to watch for bikers but bikers don't get a pass to be an asshole because they are on a bike.
I remember those fringe strips hanging off the ends of the handlebars on my tricycle (the pedal type) They were used as a speedometer. Wicked fast!
Thank you! If I was to make one it would be my luck I would be out of state and it would be the wrong colors I ride alone most of the time. I do think you did a big service to many that just wanted one and put one on their bike! Stay safe sir!
Thank you!! Appreciate the comment very much
That's one of the problems with clubs. Each one has its own color combination and its pretty much impossible to not have a color on you or your motorcycle that doesn't clash with one of them.
Very informative... thanks you sir...I always wondered about this item when I saw it on motorcycles.
Thank you so much for explaining this. I've been looking for self defense options from my wheelchair and this concept seems entirely doable and adaptive.
The most mall ninja sidewalk commando thing ever.
Yeah, if you're not the type that regularly uses it, then you just look like a tool.
@@tyrusmfrechs7025 only the last six words of that statement are correct :D
I always thought it was a tow strap to tow a Harley when it breaks down.
*Laughs in Sportster* 😂
With the right branding and marketing strategy this could be the next hot item in the personal defense industry !!!
Those are cute!
When I 1st started riding, I had an old school buddy that carried a pocket full of ball bearings. He always rode at the back of the group. After the ride, we would ask how many he had left and he would show us his empty pocket. Not 100% sure, but I think he used them.
Oh wow. Yeah, I see a lot of people on here talking about it and hear a lot of people talking about at runs and stuff, but I have yet to ever see it..... Thanks for commenting!!
@Brian Axxyyzzz ha ha good call
We use rocks. Had to do it a couple of times. pretty effective.
@Brian Axxyyzzz never mind either. That's what pennies are good for.
Drop a ball bearing or steely on the highway, good chance it will take out tye windshield or radiator of the car behind you..
Harley dealer gave me one with a new bike. I use it as a dog leash.
Always wondered about that. Thx for sharing.
I use a get back pistol.
Come on people its 2021 , Dogs are carrying guns now.
One of our buddies put a pair on his heritage, after we razzed him about his streamers enough he ditched them.
I bought an old relic from the 80's that had leather streamers on the hand grips. Taking them off was going to be one of the first things on my list, but when I was riding down a long straight country road with the old school throttle lock on, I realized I could recline all the way to the back rest and use the streamers to steer with. I can also steer with my hands in my lap if my arms get tired. They look stupid but they're kind of convenient. And they're vintage, on a vintage bike, so they'll stay for now, but I would never have something like that on a newer bike.
@@wolfking359 Go ahead and talk your crap, but unless you have something with a sub-4 second 0-60, you could very easily be put to shame by a 36 year-old $800 bike with handlebar tassels. The bike is a fkn beast. In fact, that's another reason I kept them on, just to goad and embarrass people like you. It would be like you laughing at Mike Tyson for wearing a pink shirt.
But I'm sure your bike looks cool when it's parked...
just as long as you don't park it next to one of my other 12 sec vintage bikes. Then I doubt anyone would even notice yours, unless you've got an original Hydra-glide Panhead, or a Vincent, which I doubt.
@@wolfking359 Yeah, and anyone with cruise control on their bikes needs to sell it and never ride again, for the same reason.
Sunday July 10 2022 !!! Greetings from Montréal, Québec, Canada !!! Was looking for tutorial on how to make a 'Monkey Fist' and came accross your video...Glad I learned something new today !!! Thanks and Cheers !!!
I think there good for making you more noticeable to cars it catches someone's attention that may otherwise be zoned out behind the wheel
Every time I see those hanging from a front brake lever I just want to give it a quick yank. Seems like a safety hazard.
let me know how you make out with that
Sounds like a hazzard to your safety
I wouldnt recommend that lol.
That would be hazardous to your health
Seems like they’d just get in the way of my Dyna’s handling, whipping me as much as anyone
Sometimes it does but if it has some weight in the end they just float
most weapons need some training so you don't hurt yourself. the ole what not to do. give me some nunchucks and I'll just knock myself the fuck out.
Thanks for this video. I always wondered what those were!
Thank you!
They look cool
Been riding since the late 70s. Never had one, never needed one and I don’t understand why you would. If a car rolls into your lane, and you have enough time to detach this thing and give them a CRACK, then it wasn’t that close anyway.
And, there’s a real BDSM vibe to this thing too. 😳
Ha ha love it and I agree totally.
@@YogisCycleService
Just wanted to add.....
But hey if you like this and want to ride with it.....hey.....you do you and it’s all good.
I instantly thought, perhaps this is to say I'm into kinky tied up sex? Or I'm a leather daddy? 😆😅😉
Reality...it's just SAFER to SAY it was for cars to.get back.
It's definitely for F'ng people up
@@agonleed3841 Very impractical weapon
The "hey look at me" whip
Nice video though
That's cool a friend sent me to your channel as I didn't know what one way. Super interesting thank you so much and I had always wondered myself 😊 Thank you
Been sporting my GBW here in Cali...hmmm, never been stopped for it. Maybe I've just been lucky. I also heard that if you zip tie the quick release than you're golden.
Pss: This whip makes me think of the Southpark Bikecurious episode... "Fa@s!" 😂
Best TV. Show EVER !!!😎😎😎😎😎😎😄😄😄😄😄🍺🍺🍺
You’d have to be pretty stupid to take on a car from a bike, whip or no whip. Your best defense on the bike is your throttle and riding skill. Get the hell out of there.
They do come in handy for dogs and i have seen them used on mirrors. Sure its decor 95% of the time...but just like my pew pew, be damn glad i have it if needed 😉
I’ve always just rode with a lightweight 3/8 chain on a quick release definitely heavy,But effective.
Did you also marry your cousin and hate democrats?
Just more crap to sell to people that ride on holidays and special events. Otherwise the bike is sitting in the garage.
If you are being chased by a dog while riding through a subdivision, go to the dollar store and buy a small spray bottle, and fill it with straight real lemon juice. It won’t hurt the dog, but he will stop in his tracks. I was a meter reader for years, it never failed to stop everything from Rottweilers to Chihuahuas, and believe me, the Chihuahuas were worse than the Rottweilers. I am not kidding..Mommy’s little lapdog was way more protective
A pack of chihuahuas is even worse . Thay are everywhere at once . I have hit a few by accident . They learn fast .
Good info
Great video brother
Nothing’s cheesier than seeing some Grandpa on a Gold Wing with one these stupid things.
What's even worse is seeing a grandpa on a Harley with one of these things..
Its a decoration
Nothing cheesier than seeing one of these stupid things
@John Ferrari I beat the hell out of a rude rabbit yesterday with a Toyota Corolla 👍👍😃
@@seahunter75 I know some bad ass grandpas
I dont think a whip with a nut hanging off the end just flapping against my $20k bike while im going down the road is a great idea
20k ? Damn they saw you coming.
I use the get back whip for vicious dogs I encounter regularly at stops, I do carry but the whip guarantees I won’t miss or over penetrate and injure someone else. Mine is a chain off an old bike with 5 metal prongs welded to the end and a quick release on the brake lever.
Yogi, you should name that whip Boo-Boo, I mean damn, brother.
Typically my Smith and Wesson is my get back whip. 🤣 But in all seriousness, I never knew what the heck that was. Thank you for explaining. California is crazy. Everything is illegal in that state and I’m happy I moved.
Lol, Glock is mine. Thanks for watching!!
They are legal in Ca/ Ive had one for over 20 years and been stopped a lot and they dont care.
In California paper is an illegal weapon due to the edge being capable of cutting.
I have one that’s purely looks nothing more, and only reason I bought it was its red, white and blue with a small American flag and lady liberty “charm” on the end. But it’s rarely on the scoot because it just gets in the way most the time. Usually just clipped on at large functions like shows or organized rides. exhaust provides all the attention grabbing power I need.
Helping grow your channel. So red and black. I won't say but think I know a club with those colors.
I don't need to get back whip I have one of those faces
🤣🤣🤣
@@aliekatsmom see I can even make an emoji laugh
hahahaha
you too huh
I used my old sport bike chain and made it into a whip for my rat bike. Turns out everybody wants one made from a chain LOL until they realize it’s scratches they’re pretty paint not so worried about it on my rat bike
🤪😝 love it
In California you can have a get back whip as long as it's permanently connected to the bike. The quick release makes it illegal as it then can be used as a weapon.
I don't have a leash on my ride, I carry a 45 if I need it !
I use bouncy balls the small ones and watching them fly in ultra Violet colors is entertaining
You still eating Shrooms brother?
If your bike isn't faster than the animal chasing you your in trouble anyway.
You don't have to be faster than whatever is chasing you, you just have to be faster than the slowest person in your group!!!!! LOL!!!!!
Well...they're used on Harley's sooooo...
I have Black an White one i have not tried it on my new bike but Sportster it just got in the way
I’ve seen one used ONE time to smack a biker who kicked a guys bike. Don’t know how it’s started but when they got to the intersection o was at in a cage, the guy kicked the bike and the other guy grabbed that whip by the leather end and hit the guy across the face and helmet with the clip end. The guy got smacked and laid his bike down holding his face and the guy with whip hauled ass out of there. I asked the guys at Harley store that weekend what that whip was and they basically told me it was for defending against dog attacks and also for club ID/decoration just like you said. One of the wildest road rage incidents I personally ever saw. I bought one first time we went to Sturgis years ago, but when got back took it off and it’s still hanging in the Cave. Mine is just plain saddle leather color which matched my fat boy custom leather seat at the time. Great content
Thanks appreciate that and your comments. Crazy story
WE mainly use them on other bikers lol
It must be legal here as I've seen several bikers around here that have them on their Bikes, ride safe and keep the knees in the breeze brother 💯
You as well my friend and I hope you’re having a good start to the new year!
@@YogisCycleService not to bad brother, just dealing with all the crazy stuff that's going on in the world like everyone else is, I'm sure hoping for a better year ahead for everyone 👍🏼
What's up brother, small world. As you know I live in CA and I see these regularly, I never knew they were illegal actually. Someone else in the comments said they'll pull you over in a hot second in CA. I've never seen it myself. I'm gonna pay attention more closely. Actually just a few weeks back on "MotoMadness" a guy in LA actually pulled his on some punk kids riding electric bikes and acting stupid. So that goes to show he's riding around LA openly carrying one on his bars.
We use them here when scumbags purposely cut you off.
You smash the side of their door glass as you ride by.
We have Leather balls on the end of them so they don’t slip out of your hand.
The metal attachment part is not the part you hold.
If that don’t cut it.
I also have my get back 1911 .45 ACP.
It can be rather subjective as to "purposefully cutting you off". I'll give you a short story.
My, almost 17yr old son, had an incident with a rider in a parking lot. While pull out of a KFC with shrubs higher than the Accord he was driving, he inadvertently maneuvered into the path of a rider. We know the guy for years too. His son played football with mine. There was no impact nor was the bike dropped. Scared the shit out of my boy. Huge lesson learned about blind spots and being technically and tactics proficient with driving. In the immediate haul he apologized and proceeded out of the riders path. The rider turned around and pursued him to a stop sign, which I personally think was warranted. The boy needed to be addressed and told to get his head out of his 3rd point of contact. But this prick commanded him from the car and dismount his bike. The guy(rider) isn't big, 5'9" and about 215ish, round in the middle, not intimidating to say a avg stature adult male. My sons reaction was to egress the AO which infuriated the rider. He began pursuing him around the block. My son simply kept going around the block. Apparently 3 separate people in the area witnessed this and began following and observing. During this time, he struck the vehicle damaging the A pillar but missing any glass. At one point the guy almost got himself killed by pulling along side my son's car and into oncoming traffic. He eventually forced him into a parking lot of the medical center and blocked his car in. The boy wasn't thinking clearly enough to leave himself maneuvering room. He again dismounted his bike and with whip in hand approaches while threatening. Luckily the witnesses also stopped and had called the police so the engagement was short lived.
The reity is, had my son not been a pragmatic, that guy would have been injured and or killed. As experienced riders we have to be expecting the worst. We have to anticipate the inexperienced. This candy assed attempt a bravado is really just escalation that will result in no good outcome. A cager outweighs us by orders of magnitude. Has a cockpit surrounded by blind spots and will unintentionally kill us at a moments notice. We have to be the superior operator, the cut above other road occupants. This shit talking, cognitive dissidents concerning this whipp and my "stay back 1911 or Glock", is wilfully chosen stupidity. You will more than likely, needlessly injure or kill someone, including yourself. Possibly worse end up in a cage for a good portion of your existence. Had I been driving instead of my son, what do you think would have happened? Who do you think would have been at fault? The moment he began pursuing and attacked, he essentially forfeited his life. Especially with witnesses. Had my son panicked and flinched, during that attack, he would have had to live with that shit. The other guys family could have had to live without a husband and father. Imo, probably been better off with the I surance money. Just nonsense really.
I ride and I've encountered both sides of it. If we are honest with ourselves, it's probably been damn close to 50/50 on fault. I have never had or precieved anyone try to intentionally cause me harm while riding. I've experienced extreme negligence, inattentive operation, distraction and just common blind spot issues. I've been riding since my late teens, I'm 51. I've riden too fast for the traffic conditions, passed on the wrong side, rode In a blind spot. I've been an inferior operator. I've been lucky and I've learned a lot over the years. This "get back" shit will get people hurt. Use the attributes of the motorcycle to your advantage. We can decelerate better, accelerate quicker and are overall more agile. We have huge mass disadvantages and will always loose in a collision. A riders best tool is their ability to create distance. Just like a gunfight, distance and situational awareness are your friend.
Yogi, if you want to do a service, you should discuss this for what it really is. A bunch of immature, Tough guy BS, that will lead to escalation and needless mayham.
@@billgreathouse1913
Come ride in my hood for a week and then your opinion will change.
I live in a heavily populated area with selfish pricks on the road that will cut you off and kill you just so they can get to the red light first.
Or they are driving around oblivious to the road and who is next to them while their face is in their phone texting.
Some people need a good smack down.
We don’t play around in my parts.
An accident is just that.
An accident.
Read my first post again.
The key word is when people “purposely” cut you off.
If anyone purposely cuts me off on my bike I take it as their trying to kill me.
At that point it’s on!
@@jayonez137
So you clear leather and send rounds down range? I've riden in the South, the Dakotas, New York, New Jersey. He'll, probably at least 40 of the 50 states. Never have I had someone maliciously interact with me while on a bike. I have had a few folks get road raged and contemplate suicide while in my cage. I guess I've been luck. I've had plenty of people with head in ass syndrome, as you've discribed. I don't think they were "trying" to kill me. That story I gave, that rider said to the police that my son was trying to run him over the whole time. Thats why he kept pursuing. One of the witnesses had video of everything after the first dismount, the whole pursuit. I'd definitely get a camera.
@@billgreathouse1913
Negative!
You obviously misunderstood what I’m saying.
Thankfully Ive never had to draw a my handgun.
That’s the last thing any CCW holder wants to have to do.
However it is there for my great equalizer if life is in danger.
The whip on the other hand is a different story.
Go back to my OP and read again what I said the whip is used for.
I’m done with story time admittance.
Stop over analyzing like a cop.
Let’s move on!
@@jayonez137 uses whip to hit the car.
Driver gets mad and hits you.
Uses gun as the great equalizer,
Shoots driver.
Driver is incapacitated or dead and veers off to hit you.
You jump off the bike and the driver gets out,
You use your whip to hit the driver.
The driver pulls out a gun and shoots you .
You dismount and the driver gets out the car,
You pull the gun and possibly shoot driver.
You go to prison.
None of these situations are in your favor.
Get back on your bike and go. No matter how big or bad one man is, a cage will always beat a thin frame with two wheels.
Those fringe pieces are to slide nuts onto and knot the fringe below the nuts to keep them on. Nothing like getting whalloped with a 1/4 pound of steel. Also a 2 or 3 foot long length of 5/16 chain with a huge master lock on the end for "locking your bike to a pole".
I have a 16 inch old school lead filled leather slapstick hanging off my left grip. I call it a side mirror adjustment tool. Cause if someone in a car pushes me out of my lane. Obviously they need some side mirror adjustments. Im happy to oblige.live free. Ride free.
A 36 inch steel cable enforced leather getback whip will absolutely remove a mirror from a car if swung from the fringe end at highway speeds. Total attention getter. Heard from a friend...
@@ssgjokerlord that is your opinion, which means absolutely NOTHING. I've been riding for over 40 years. I positively do need anyone's permission. Furthermore I don't actually use one myself. But I don't judge those that do. I leave the judgment for the snowflakes that have never ridden anything but a dick...
I always thought it was something to hang a purse on.
😂😂😂
It is.
I’ll keep my get back .45, you can keep your little handlebar tassels on your Hardlys
Like others have said, these are just tassels or streamers. BUT...if you were to use it as a "get back whip" it seems way more useful if you were to hold the leather end and swing the metal clasp.
Yes agreed but the chance of actually being able to control a motorcycle and use this as a weapon while moving is slim to none and stupid. Maybe at a light but then again at a light there are a lot better options then actually using this item as a weapon
I can think of a dozen weapons id rather have. I think It's mostly for looks
I used to carry 3/8 nuts in my leather if things got too serious.
Clear marbles.
Pennies work great and they are cheap!
There's a time and a season for everything got a often closes the door to open a new one just trust him in the direction he moves you be blessed
Yogi is so laid back.
Early days we use to toss a extra spark plug into the windshield if they crowded you out.
Uh, yea.... back in the early days.
Some.of us still do.
Pennies!
The porcelain part all crushed up is window shredder.
Same. With a large ball bearing or some coins. Really freaks the cagers out even if you just do it to tell em to back off.
It’s a nod to old school M/C culture and a way to show club colors. Mine has reflective material and waves in the breeze- you can’t miss it and that’s the point.
Gotta love California laws. Backwards and upside down.
4' of chain with a padlock on the end over your shoulder works too!
Love the reading material, I wonder how many who commented have to get permission from mommy to go for a Sunday ride.
Back in the 50s and 60s, my dad, uncles and all their gang used to cut 1 foot long sections of 5/8 heater hose, plug one end with a bolt and a hose clamp, fill them with molten lead, then use broom clips to attach them to the rear legs on their motorcycle frames.
If any ragin' cager purposely got "too close", they'd reach down, grab one out of the broom clips, and sail it THROUGH the guy's windshield!
As far as those whips go, I hear that certain club members will sneak up alongside ya and yank on them... Knocking some unsuspecting rider off balance.
I do have a belt that's made of a Cossack whip... Braided leather, steel wire core with a lead weighted tip and a quick snap to keep it around my waist. But that's only effective if I'm standing on the ground.
I personally run those "little kid" sparkly bicycle streamers on my old Glide... Just to be a shithead 😆
And PLUS ONE on the old spark plug trick!
Yep. 8,000 pound Silverado 2500 HD with a turned up Duramax and a cracked windshield vs. some putz on a 900 pound bicycle who tossed a lead filled piece of hose. Gonna be some 40s poured out that day.
I'm going to call bullshit on your story I'm thinking bolted lead would melt that hose you know because it's hundreds and hundreds of degrees hot yep got to call you on that one or if not you your dad and his brothers and their gang LOL
Decades ago, I used to ride with something bungeed to the passenger seat behind me. I called it a "Fuck-Off Brick"! Obviously, it was a one-use item, but replacements were cheap, and freely available! If some twat in a car was getting too close behind, just raising it in the air did the trick! They may be more protected in a car, but no-one is prepared to take the chance of a brick flying straight at their windscreen, especially if it's a shiny new toy!
Clubs I rode with actually used them. Not on dogs. Anyway, been trying to make one for my bike in memory of.
Now i find that a women with one of these is kinda cute but a full grown man looks like a wannabe tough guy who should be riding a ten speed bicycle wearing spandex shorts with neon colors on them.
I was kind of expecting a legitimate reason for having nonsense hanging from your bike. Guess I had too much faith in the guys who have them, taking themselves too seriously when they put on their biker costume to ride.
I always called it "wearing your happy shit" 😆
I've smacked a couple cars with mine. You actually smack with the heavy end not the fringe side, and the fringes are kinda gay, mine has a knot. It was given to me 10 years ago by a very close friend who is no longer with us, and trendy? I don't know another person with one around me, but maybe its trendy where you guys are, and I also do not own anything at all that says Harley on it other than my road king. Just to set the record straight.
When you were a kid did you ever get your shoe strings caught in the pedals that didn't go well either 🤔
Yup. Sure did. Not sure kids now a days know that feeling
@@YogisCycleService hahaha!
I've got a pal who's got 2 young boys, 5 and 8... He asked me if I'd help him build a swing set as a surprise for them.
I straight up told him that kids today would break their necks just looking at a picture of a swing set.
He said "yep, you're probably right" and forgot the whole idea 😁
@@slicksnewonenow wow. Just wow
My dad use to keep old spark plugs in his cut pocket for this reason
You can buy this in Combo Packs with Ninja Stars and Brass Knuckle Knives....
My daughter’s first bicycle had these tassels. It was a “Barbie Bike”. This is just another example of Harley riders being posers.
uh, wow, ok.
Agreed. Ridiculous paraphernalia
Spoken like a try douche bag.
Uh, yeah. We DEFINITELY want to be like Barbie. Ha! Also, that's a bicycle. Get a grip, with a bike attached to it. Then you'll get what riding is about.
90% of 1% clubs ride Harleys 🌽 ball , you sound slow 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Biker lore? I've got steel ball bearings in my vest, my jacket and my batwing. You tailgate me, I take your windshield. No lore, fact.
My oldlady keeps small marbles for that reason. No trace.
You’re an American Badass!
Lmfao...loser
@@ryanhale8013,
You're windshield got broken, didn't it?
I only see the iron order with these mirror whips lol
Kind of like handlebar streamers when we all started out,on 3 wheelers or 2 wheelers with training wheels!
Wait, club members reserve the right to destroy your bike if you have the wrong colour rope on your bars? You're a strange lot...
Words of wisdom...
Get back whip= loser leash
You must be a biker hating cager.
I used to carry bolts in my vest pocket for tailgaters.
Yes, they are for horses they are clipped to the side of a halter - 1 side or both - when a horse is in the cross ties for grooming/tack
