New Mod for Trip
We all know that Trip is from Texas. That being the case....I seached the world over for the perfect new mod for his Nomad. This particular mod was on a Harley Road Glide....but could be easily modified to fit a Nomad. Trip....I know you'll want to be the first to have a set of these on your Nomad...
 ;)!

I have a question...take a look at the pic of the HD. Hanging from the right grip is a long braided strap. I've seen this locally on some bikes...what the heck is it supposed to signify? ???

Those are called "window beaters" in California. when someone cuts you off you unclip it and beat the crap out of their car with it!

So..if I understand this, you unclip the whip and beat the crap out of the car that just cut you off while still trying to regain or maintain control of your bike. It makes perfect sense to me LOL

I can't just see the tip of one of the horns entering my body in a crash.
I can just read the headline. He would have survived but got gored by the horn.

I thought that strap is from a front wheel lock, so you don't forget to remove the lock.

"Window Beaters" ??? OK, this just confirms my previous feeling of these type of "bikers" what a bunch of immature aholes. Oh I'm a bad A$$, I have a silly strap and if you piss me off I'll beat your car with it. :-/ They should all be smacked with a 2X4.

Well, believe it or not, that's what that strap is for... to beat cars senseless. Used heavily in the DFW area, although I'm sure it's used all over the US too.
Slap horns on anything and it will even make a baby doo-doo yellow HD look good. LOL.
