Easy Rider

If you ride with three feet long, black leather motorcycle streamers are you more bad ass than the rider without? Sure they’re black, instead of iridescent rainbow, but honestly, a streamer is a streamer. And, call me crazy, but aren’t gratuitously lengthy streamers a hazard on a motorcycle? Not only might I feel a little silly if my streamers started slapping me in a cross wind, but what if they got stuck in engine parts, or started snaking over to other cars? Perhaps I should stop being cynical and find it refreshing that in a state where people take their guns to Starbucks and The Good Egg, there are still rebels out there rocking the streamer. Or, perhaps I should not linger by the bad ass streamers and mind my own.
