BRAKE LEVER?? Someone wants to be a meat crayon.

Stupid is as stupid does....

Biker with "whip" to cager- "I'll show you! I'll whip your vehicle with this braided piece of leather that has a cheap little metal clasp on the end".

Cager to biker with "whip"- "Oh yeah? Well I'll show you! I'll turn my steering wheel just a little, and plow into you with two tons of automobile, splattering you all over the road and wrecking your precious bike. And I'll get away with it by saying "I didn't see him".


Who wins that argument?


Getting into a fight with a car when you're on a bike strikes me as a good way to wind up dead.

I can honestly say this is the first time I have ever seen or heard the term "meat crayon", and for full disclosure and awareness, I'm stealing it and am going to use it in daily conversation as often as possible.

Begging forgiveness in advance for asking, but since this thread has been resurrected, and I'm too lazy to scroll through to the beginning or search other threads about this stupid ass topic...

When did these things actually come into fashion? I've seen countless explanations about how this get back whip is an "old school" biker thing, but I don't remember EVER seeing one until well after 2000 or later.

Was this ever a thing back in the day? Was it a regional thing? Did recreational chemistry erase parts of my memory? Or, is the "old school biker" bullshit exactly that?

Never saw one with the people I rode with. Except maybe.
