Re:Get Back Whips 2 Years, 8 Months ago

Or, use it on a cage that's crowding you, and then get them pissed-off enough to just go ahead and run you off the road.

If I had a whip, it would be purely for decoration, unless I was involved in some altercation where we were both stopped, such as a parking lot, but if things come down to that level, I might just go ahead and draw my gun.

In places where guns aren't allowed, I've usually got a knife with me that opens with the push of a thumb and flick of the wrist. It's not an automatic knife, (i.e. switchblade), but it opens nearly as quickly and it's very sturdy and very sharp.

I don't understand the purpose or utility of the whips. Maybe someone can enlighten me...

Califronia shoud be annexed from the USA. I cannot comprehend how anyone who is a free thinker can exist in that socialist state. Forget the whole whip thing for a moment and look at every other government run, maditorily imposed sanctions they authorize against their own citizens. Land of the free except CA. And the ride home today was good.

They look "cool" hanging from a parked scoot in a parking lot (I mean that seriously..) , but if someone approached me with that as their weapon of choice at an altercation......Game over. BB

If someone whips out one of those things on me, they probably won't have anything to put a hat on.

Anyone stupid enough to use this as a weapon deserves to get his azz whipped. I posted it because I thought the look of it is cool and would add character to the bike, not as a weapon, that's another topic....What do you carry for protection?? Me----->>>Baretta 9mm and a permit to carry it.
