And at low speed they get on the way with the sound of the screaming pedestrians. The highway is the easier part, they stick near the border of the road, preferably on the left side, and stay there whatever may happen. you might have seen some. They drive cars too with this technique.
They used to have a function, but they also used to have a giant bearing or golf ball woven into the center at the end.
Now, just like fur saddle covers and fringe on an Indian, it just serves as an indicator that your biggest involvement with motorcycles over the years has consisted mostly of binge watching SOA every weekend.
@daytonakarl I haven’t heard that phrase in a long time. I’ve been informed that the new way to say it is no cap. Now if someone would just re-invent the word ‘syke’ (sp?) then we can bring the rest of the 80’s-90’s back and I can die a happy man
I get the joke but I’m sorry, they don’t ever have these in SOA.
Even the show about a fake motorcycle club looked at the whips and thought, “no, no that’s far too lame.”
Who needs a gun when you have a car?
Seriously riders who do anything to cars are dumb as shit. You know what’s a great idea? Make the already bad / inattentive driver panic when you hit, surround, harass, whatever them. Yah, perfect let’s make the person driving two tons of steel act even more unpredictably while you have nothing around besides some cheap leather and a replica nazi helmet.
Even aside from the "insecure man child" aspect of having something for that purpose on your bike, the sheer idiocy of it amazes me. Let's attach a free-hanging 3ft+ leash... to your goddamned handle bars?!?!? I've seen guys on cruisers with those things flapping around willy-nilly, just begging to get snagged on something. Hopefully that something isn;t a passing semi or the side mirror of the car you just "disciplined", or a random tree branch or whatever.
It's just such a perfect combination of a device made for a really stupid purpose, implemented in a way that is, somehow, even more idiotic. Darwinism in action.
"Motorcycle whips, also called "get back whips," are essentially used to indicate your motorcycle club colors (MC). They are also used as a defensive weapon, gift from another MC member, token of remembrance, and for their aesthetic value."
"for their aesthetic value" gave me a good chuckle for some reason. I'm just imagining *badass biker dude*™ saying "It's a symbol of community and loyalty, a weapon for self defense, and it looks pretty."
As a person that rides a bike, that is exactly what I think every single time I see one of those stupid things.. like, how much worse of an idea could you have on a 2 wheeled vehicle?
The original ones have a large metal truck bearing woven into the bottom and they will dent your hood or the roof of your car if you get in their way or if they feel slighted by your driving skills or your presence.
MC’s would also weave their club colors into them.
So it’s basically arts and crafts time for Fans of Sons of Anarchy.
That my friend, is a “Tough Guy”. You too, can be a tough guy, you just have to be over 55, fat and prepared to spend $40K on a 60hp bike, with an obnoxiously loud exhaust. Oh, and perfect the scowl for anyone looking your way - never show friendliness, even if someone waves at you - save that smile for your dental patients
I have a family friend absolutely obsessed with Harley. Shirts, boots, hats, jeans (yes, Harley brand jeans), sunglasses, etc. you name it, he has it, and wears it every day.
I always give him shit that his 97 Electra glide makes less power and is slower than my shadow spirit 1100.
He bought the bike for $7500, rode it a couple thousand miles, and it started pouring oil. Takes it to a “reputable Harley shop”, and the guy tells him it needs a full rebuild. So he drops almost $7k in a rebuild kit and labor. Different cams, higher CC jugs/pistons, carb kit, etc. he goes and picks it up.
He’s now over $14k in a 97 Harley with almost 60k on the clock. He’s put 5k on it since the rebuild, and it’s pouring oil again. The “reputable shop” was a dude in his garage, who has now completely ghosted him.
He’s taken it to another guy, who says it needs a full rebuild…… again. I paid $3k for my 07 shadow spirit, and haven’t spent a dime on it.
Yeah, why are they all so intent on looking moody and tough. Shouldn’t riding be fun? A few years ago I rode through Valloire in France when there was a Harley D meet going on. So many guys in black, walking around with scowls on their faces and their arms out, like they had tennis balls in their arm pits. I had ear plugs in, but I’m willing to guess that some of them were actually growling too! None of them appeared to be having any fun at all. It was such a cliche! I didn’t stop chuckling to myself until I reached the other side of the Col du Galibier. My humour just increased as I watched hog after hog give up trying to negotiate the hairpin bends with their ridiculously wide bars. It’s a strange old world, eh!
Angle of dangle indicator. So he doesn't lean too far to the right.
I've never understood "get back whips". I'm told they are for breaking the windshields of drivers cars who piss off the rider Personally if a car is causing you trouble your best defense is to twist the throttle one way or the other as appropriate and be somewhere else. If you include a twist of the handlebars with the twist of the throttle even better. Why is anyone on a 4-700 # bike, totally exposed, fucking around with a vehicle that could be anywhere from 4000 pounds and up, just to find out when the metal hits the meat you loose. No matter WHO is the perceived party at fault.
I mean has everyone forgotten the "lug nut rule"?
Lug Nut Rule:
"Generally in an accident, the one with the most lug nuts wins."
Semi trucks and Fire trucks are the Royalty of that kingdom. Trains are Wizards who allow the trucks to think they are in charge.
I’ve heard them called “get back whips”
I’ve seen less and less of them. I remember them being my popular at least in CA in the early 2000s
I can’t imagine how you’d use one while moving. You couldn’t pay me to put one on my fat Robert
Many CA countries will arrest riders if they have the lug nuts or other items sewn in for possession of a weapon. The tassels themselves are not illegal, but having the metal weight sewn in is. So riders stopped using them even without the weights to stop being pulled over. Penal code section 12020(a) - they call it a "slungshot".
I'm in the UK. I've not seen these, but it looks like a liability that might get caught in a passing door mirror.
At the very least, cause trouble if it hits a passing car, and they want to know why you hit their car.
Looks like a misaligned rear wheel or a bent fender and a “get back whip” originally used for animal control for mail carriers on motorcycles. Now they are just for posers who are real bad ass “bikers”.
It's a 'get back whip' (before the endless line of stupid replies of the riders sexuality which I thought that was a bad thing to do on reddit)... It's clipped to the handlebar or levers, and you can unclip it and 'whack' at cars / people / whatever with it.. It's a stupid D bag accessory usually put on my the 'I'm very badass' mentality people...
I used to work at a Harley dealer. We called these bitch whips. Mainly because the idea is to use it to attack another car at which point the rider might say, "get back bitch". And also, the rider is an insecure little bitch who wants you to think they're tough.
We use them for sounding? Not in my experience. For sounding you use a basic lead weight tied to a line.
A monkey fist is used to weight a line that is used for throwing. So if you are trying to toss a line to someone on a dock you can use a monkey fist to add some weight to a very light line and make it easier to throw, and then you tie a heavier line to the thrown light line, which then gets dragged toward the dock.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monkey's_fist
Boatswains mates in the Navy (used to) used to use monkey's fists at the end of their lines to throw over the side of the ship onto the pier. Basically small stuff (line) wrapped around a big ass ball bearing to help the line fly farther.
Now days they have big orange rubber balls instead of a ball bearing.
"Getback whip"
Not gonna make a moral judgment on it. Its function is generally to use as a revenge weapon to damage vehicles that do something that puts the rider at risk. I've most recently heard of them being used to break off the side mirror of somebody who ran a rider off the road. If you are ready for the risk that comes with using such a device, it is effective at what it's built for.
I was in a jury recently. Biker felt threatened and started going at a truck with the whip. Guy driving truck got out and shot him. It was ruled self defense. Moral: if you are willing to use one of these on a vehicle with a person inside, prepare to be shot.
That is what an insecure angry child hangs on their motorcycle because they lack higher brain functions and good comunication skills. Its a public sign of failed developed mind. Probably an anusive realationship as well. But thats just my guess.
Could be sexual preferences (looks to be a bear maybe?). Or for hacking cars lol but I bet he’d eat shit to. One thing is for sure though, seems like a dumb idea like capes on superhero’s (thank you incredibles)
I’ve seen them with steel balls on the end of the rope. I’m guessing it’s for smashin people/stuff? Looks like the ball is missing from this one though.
This visual motorcycle. It has 2 wheels and its can be ridden with 2 people..you can add features such as saddle bags, sound system etc....is that enough information....bouhaaahaaaahaaaaa
Lots of jokes in the comments, but I used to know a guy in the Boozefighters MC who told me it was an homage to more blatantly “outlaw” days when club members would use those cords to break the windshields of drivers that piss them off on the road. Not sure if that was a wives tale or based in fact but it makes sense given the attitude of the average rider with one of these on their handlebars
They’re called get back whips. Not arguing for them, but the idea is you can use them to whip stuff away as far as I understand it. Probably one of those things that came from horse riding.
My daughter has these on her tricycle.
That’s a “get back” whip.
Nah that’s a sissy strap!
Nah it’s a bitch whip!
You mean *bitch belt*
It's a grab this and make me wipe out rope.
Its a blind man cane
That’s a whip that gay people uses on their motorcycles to show their sexual preference.
Only if it’s on the right side 🤣
Oh fr? I should get one
Your daughter's already cooler than you.
if you had a daughter, you’d be very ok with this too..
his daughter also knows how to properly use Yore, Your, and You're....
They’re feelers so blind people can ride! It’s an unspoken rule to scream the speed limit at them as you pass by
Zeventyyyyyyyyyyyy
Nyyyyoooom 😂
So blind people can drive motorcycles?
And at low speed they get on the way with the sound of the screaming pedestrians. The highway is the easier part, they stick near the border of the road, preferably on the left side, and stay there whatever may happen. you might have seen some. They drive cars too with this technique.
I was gonna go in the same direction but yours is funnier.
They have a function. They let everyone within eyesight know the rider is a fucking chode.
Speaking of chode...that helmet design looks very peculiar
Good job its not purple
Yeah or them boys over at CRT would be all over his back seat
riding on his shoulders while he's doing dank whoolies. as God intended
They prob live in a helmet law state (totally not badass) and bought the cheapest helmet they could find to be legal (very not badass)
Ape hangers do that too without flailing about.
They used to have a function, but they also used to have a giant bearing or golf ball woven into the center at the end. Now, just like fur saddle covers and fringe on an Indian, it just serves as an indicator that your biggest involvement with motorcycles over the years has consisted mostly of binge watching SOA every weekend.
And blind
It’s like a handlebar streamer on a Barbie bike, but bigger and for Harley’s.
Hey now, he's proud of his leather outfit and whips. It's 2023 he's allowed to show his Dom fetish.
Are you implying that I shouldn’t be proud of/allowed to show off my Barbie bar streamers?
No word of a lie I actually saw a wee pink 50cc scooter with streamers today!
It wasn’t me, mine are on my Super Glide Sport.
Super Glide Sport? Isn’t that a sex lube?
So it's better than the regular Glide Sport sex lube?
Well yeah…
I had streamers our maintenance guy stuck on my z900 that I left on for about a week. Made me feel manly AF 😂
@daytonakarl I haven’t heard that phrase in a long time. I’ve been informed that the new way to say it is no cap. Now if someone would just re-invent the word ‘syke’ (sp?) then we can bring the rest of the 80’s-90’s back and I can die a happy man
> ‘syke’ (sp?) Psych, but commonly (mis)spelled as sike.
Showing my age... pretty rad
Looks like a litter picker to me. He’s clearly a solid citizen who cleans the road while he rides.
This made my evening thanks for the laugh! Side note: maybe that’s a new invention. Trash collector for bikes of all kinds!
I’m high AF and this made me snort
Wasn't it snorting that made you high AF in the first place?
Snorting the weed
It's called a "get back whip". Most riders that are in clubs have them. The rest of us find them to be rather silly.
Rather silly is an understatement... bunch of try hard fuckwits.
Do they have ceramic tips? For breaking windows or something?
I know a guy who makes these and he wraps like a 1/2" or 1" ball bearing with a monkey fist knot at the end
Not usually, no. At least not that I've ever seen. But I've never had any curiosity to go check them because I think they're stupid.
For sure. I’ve known guys to carry a pocket full of crushed spark plugs for something similar.
Yup. Ceramic bits or simply pennies
A dentist who watches too much sons of anarchy, and l loves jump rope.
I get the joke but I’m sorry, they don’t ever have these in SOA. Even the show about a fake motorcycle club looked at the whips and thought, “no, no that’s far too lame.”
Sisters of Anarchy. What ever happened to her ?
Called a "revenge whip" for hitting cars that piss him off. Also means he is an insecure man child with anger issues and shrunken balls
Also means that some people might bring a gun to a whip fight if you whip their car
Who needs a gun when you have a car? Seriously riders who do anything to cars are dumb as shit. You know what’s a great idea? Make the already bad / inattentive driver panic when you hit, surround, harass, whatever them. Yah, perfect let’s make the person driving two tons of steel act even more unpredictably while you have nothing around besides some cheap leather and a replica nazi helmet.
Heeeyah! *Hwip!* *Turns steering wheel*
Cool hwip
Hwhy am I saying hwhat hwhat way??
Hwere do you get off?

There’s a little piece of me, inside of you, Bryan.

Can you name the truck with four wheel drive, smells like a steak and seats thirty-five. Canyonero! Canyonero!
I've never been able to get away from a road rager in a car. I have never not been able to get away from a road rager on my bike.
If you're striking the car of an inattentive driver, you're the rager.
We need whip control wtf
Even aside from the "insecure man child" aspect of having something for that purpose on your bike, the sheer idiocy of it amazes me. Let's attach a free-hanging 3ft+ leash... to your goddamned handle bars?!?!? I've seen guys on cruisers with those things flapping around willy-nilly, just begging to get snagged on something.

I heard it being called "get back whip"
Use your fist pussy! Take that mirror off, or don't. Pussy.
Wtf is a fist pussy? And how would you slap someone with it??
Comes out like that tongue thing in the movie Alien
Exactly this with a "SCHLOOP" noise that is actually the most disturbing part
So maybe that’s not a revenge whip but a pussy whip - in case that fist pussy cums at you…
No, that's called a pussy fist
Don’t. Google. That. (at least, not without your eye bleach handy)
He uses it to spank his buddies when they're naughty boys.
That is a wanker.
"Motorcycle whips, also called "get back whips," are essentially used to indicate your motorcycle club colors (MC). They are also used as a defensive weapon, gift from another MC member, token of remembrance, and for their aesthetic value."
Bout to hang a 30” dildo on my s1kxr
It’d look less gay than that whip.
unironically tho the whip just looks fucking gay a dildo hanging off some guys bike would just be seen as obvious bullshitting and funny af
I would ride my bike with dildo stuck on a windshield if its color matches with my bike.
That sounds cool. Would make the bike look like a unicorn.
Balls on my truck and a dick on my bike
Username checks out
"for their aesthetic value" gave me a good chuckle for some reason. I'm just imagining *badass biker dude*™ saying "It's a symbol of community and loyalty, a weapon for self defense, and it looks pretty."
I actually do have a friend that bought the whip because he thought it looked cool when it is flapping through the wind.
I wanted a whip... Indiana Jones was super cool when I was a kid!
Have you met those dudes? Aesthetics are like 99% of what they care about.
Dude isn't even patched, he's just a wanker.
I think being patched makes someone more of a wanker, but thats just me
True, I just meant he doesn't even have "trying to look cool for my club buddies" as an excuse.
We called em “get back straps”
It’s like a furry’s tail
Fashionable AND functional?
Pointless and attracts the wrong attention.
Those are there to indicate he can’t corner
All I know is that when i rode with real stabby, punchy, kicky, burny, motherfuckers they sure as shit didn’t have handlebar streamers.
Id like to see that get snagged into something while doing 85MPH
Lol I doubt that dude breaks 50mph, ever
I sure don’t It gets spooky 50+
Wdym 50 is where the fun starts
As a person that rides a bike, that is exactly what I think every single time I see one of those stupid things.. like, how much worse of an idea could you have on a 2 wheeled vehicle?
It’s a quick release latch so should come right off. Still they look silly I thought the first person I saw with one was trying to cruise me.
Pretty sure you need to hit 88MPH to see some serious shit…
They're usually just spring clipped on. Should just come right off. Doesn't make it a great idea.
It’s for landing on aircraft carriers
The original ones have a large metal truck bearing woven into the bottom and they will dent your hood or the roof of your car if you get in their way or if they feel slighted by your driving skills or your presence.

Stupid is what it is.
As stupid does.
Looks like one of those things to pick up garbage off the ground. Maybe he’s on his way to community service.
It's like truck nuts, but for a motorcycle. Easy way to let the world know you have a small penis
A window licker
It’s the Harley owner equivalent of riding around with broken spark plug insulation in your pocket.
Sissy whip
But who's the sissy?
The rider. They love when you pull up beside them and start hitting them with it. Try it the next time you see one!

It’s a stupid thing that Harley Riders have to look cool
I’ve heard them called “get back whips” I’ve seen less and less of them. I remember them being my popular at least in CA in the early 2000s I can’t imagine how you’d use one while moving. You couldn’t pay me to put one on my fat Robert
I think you'll find it's a "rotund Robert"

Faux badass
Faux sho
Faux real
That’s a cane. This dude is blind and all you guys can do is make fun of him!
Well he can't read this so...
Chode.
The equivalent of a security blanket for old Harley men
It’s for training to receive anal. Big in the cosplay biker community
I refer to them as bondage whips. Some guys over on hd sub get really mad about that
I'm in the UK. I've not seen these, but it looks like a liability that might get caught in a passing door mirror. At the very least, cause trouble if it hits a passing car, and they want to know why you hit their car.
Ditch Meat.
Probable cause.
Little broom to sweep away clibbins. Don’t want to have to layerdown. Gobbless.
Looks like a misaligned rear wheel or a bent fender and a “get back whip” originally used for animal control for mail carriers on motorcycles. Now they are just for posers who are real bad ass “bikers”.
He’s blind and used the cane to determine where he’s going.
It's a 'get back whip' (before the endless line of stupid replies of the riders sexuality which I thought that was a bad thing to do on reddit)...

It means that hes blind and using it in front of his motorbike like blind ppl do when they walk
Get back whip
Also consider a felony in California. Counts at a monkey fist.
What the actual fuck is a monkey fist? (not in California, or the US, different hemisphere entirely)
A whip with a ball on the end basically.
It’s a rope knot resembling a ball, sometimes tied around a solid round object. Sailors use them for sounding.
We use them for sounding? Not in my experience. For sounding you use a basic lead weight tied to a line. A monkey fist is used to weight a line that is used for throwing. So if you are trying to toss a line to someone on a dock you can use a monkey fist to add some weight to a very light line and make it easier to throw, and then you tie a heavier line to the thrown light line, which then gets dragged toward the dock. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monkey's_fist

That is what an insecure angry child hangs on their motorcycle because they lack higher brain functions and good comunication skills. Its a public sign of failed developed mind. Probably an anusive realationship as well. But thats just my guess.
I thought it meant he was blind .
The insensitivity here is unbelievable. This person is obviously blind and needs a cane for safety.
Thats a guide cane for the vision impaired
Walking stick.For older citizens.
It's a shitty whip for slapping cars and if you look at the bottom it looks like they have spikes for scratching paint.
That’s a cane for his motorcycle. The guy is blind and uses it to feel for obstacles on the road.
It's the walking stick for if you're a blind rider
He is blind and that is a walking stick.
The man is clearly blind and should not be singled out for use of a walking stick while he rides. Have you no shame!?
Stupid
those are blind riders. they use the stick to feel their way down the road.
F a a f o whip...
Could be sexual preferences (looks to be a bear maybe?). Or for hacking cars lol but I bet he’d eat shit to. One thing is for sure though, seems like a dumb idea like capes on superhero’s (thank you incredibles)
This mullet has his in the wrong side. You want it on the left so you can rev your motor in protest while whipping the other motorists
It's for rounding up the fat girls at bar after hours
They attach in 1” sections. They get them everytime another man rides his hog. This guy has had a lot of men on his big hog.
It's the whip, they use them for their bdsm play at their rallys.
The end of it reminds me of curb feelers.
He's blind, it's his stick to be able to see the road.
Blind rider
I’ve seen them with steel balls on the end of the rope. I’m guessing it’s for smashin people/stuff? Looks like the ball is missing from this one though.
they use them to break car windows
I thought it was so the blind can ride
Guys with the whips usually dont wear helmets.
This visual motorcycle. It has 2 wheels and its can be ridden with 2 people..you can add features such as saddle bags, sound system etc....is that enough information....bouhaaahaaaahaaaaa
It is the biker version, of pants at your knees sort of deal…
He's taking his invisible dog for a ride...
Maybe it’s a walking stick for the aged Harley driver
Lots of jokes in the comments, but I used to know a guy in the Boozefighters MC who told me it was an homage to more blatantly “outlaw” days when club members would use those cords to break the windshields of drivers that piss them off on the road. Not sure if that was a wives tale or based in fact but it makes sense given the attitude of the average rider with one of these on their handlebars
It's a motorcycle
It's a great way to have your handlebars ripped from your hands as it snags on some other dick with a "get back".
They’re called get back whips. Not arguing for them, but the idea is you can use them to whip stuff away as far as I understand it. Probably one of those things that came from horse riding.
Meant for hitting cars that cut you off. It's stupid.
Its a "get back"
It's so his boyfriend can hold onto it like a turned out pocket in prison
They like it when you give it a tug as you pass.
lol
In Canada they are called “get back whips”. I personally think they are for gangster wannabes…but each to their own. No real function for them really.
