I am offended by the appropriation of one of the natural wonders of the world to represent inclusion. 

BTW, a rainbow is the separation of colors or dispersion of the light.  So really the light from the sun is inclusion and the light of the rainbow is dispersion. 

So, the symbol of inclusion should be the sun.  :)

OK, apparently my mental blockage isn't working today, maybe I don't watch enough TV...

Guzzistajohn gave that link to what a "Back off whip" is.... I'm still drawing a blank on what one is used for...

I know, my innocence is showing... it's part of the price for growing up and staying a small-town boy.

The "get-back whip" is a symbol and a weapon.   It says "I'm a bad-a$$ M.F. on this loud, intimidating motorcycle, so don't F. with me, because if you do, you see this get back whip?   I'll break your windows, whip you off your bike, and hurt you bad.  So step the F. back, get out of my way, and don't F. with me!"

In other words, a substitute for the male reproductive tackle that most of us carry instead.

As to whether one has ever really been used, it's probably been as often as someone has ACTUALLY kicked in a door on a passing car, or thrown a sparkplug or ball bearing through a windshield.   In other words, not often enough to ever make the news ....

I wonder how one of those “back off” thingies would fare against a M43 glock;)

Now this is what I call smart humour!   Nicely played sir!

It's bad, I know, to even think this, but 40 years on, that car doesn't look so bad.   I wouldn't mind having one, Corinthian Leather and all ...

What with a Bentley-ish grill, Vega headlights and minimalistic whitewalls, one can see the appeal....from a distance! 

It must be Mr. Roark that adds a touch of class to the shot, or those extra wide collars!

You know its funny... I was JUST telling my daughter [who just past her drivers test today!!!!] what I drove for my test... It was a 76 Charger SEThe Charger SE was the dodge copy of the Cordoba..  it was really a great car once we ditched the leanburn setup. other then the 10mpg from the 400 big block.

While in Australia I was told ( in1986) that flogging punishments could still be handed out by a court of law, (The last one I was told about was in 1957 or thereabouts on Melbourne prison.)
 If they wish to make a penalty for get back whips being used or flouted, maybe a flogging would be the way to go.
 Any of you from down under can tell me if the flogging rule is still on the books?
 I was told that the 1957 recipient was a model prisoner afterwards.

  You might say absurdity needs to be met with absurdity....But I don't do stationary burnouts beacuse it's a dummies show...

[Guzzistajohn]

Uhhh, there’s this book, it’s been around for a long time. It says a rainbow has a totally different meaning. I’ll go with that one.

If you watched the video, you would see that he wasn`t stationary, but was doing a power slide or "drifting" which takes some skill.

You’re not the dummy, rough, the dummy or idiot maybe a better term, is someone who leaves 2000 miles of rubber in 5 feet😂

I am now officially ignoring this thread, lest I get myself into trouble.

Then you know that they are using the Rainbow incorrectly.

I must've similarly lead a sheltered & cosseted life too.

Is it a weapon then?

If so, then it begs the question;  what the hell for, or to rephrase, a weapon against what?  Don't many of you new-worlders carry sidearms?  Is it used to "whip it" out of an aggressor's hand?

[Guzzistajohn]

Here's EXACTLY how it's used        :grin:https://     www.youtube.com/watch?v=j_QLzthSkfM

So far, no matter how much I nod and say hello at gas stops or overlooks, I haven't found one yet with a "Get Back" whip tied to his handlebar who WASN'T an anti-social arsehole.   And that's quite a few.

So we're apparently NOT all "brothers in the wind" etc etc.   I'd be willing, but I don't wear the approved outlaw non-conformist rebel uniform.

The obvious irony stems from the fact Harley riders epitomize conformism.
