Personally those leather "tassles" remind me of when I was 10 years old and I had purple sparkly tassles on my 1 speed bike. I think it looks stupid on a motorcycle esp if you are over the age of, well, 10 and you're not a girl.
Speaking of stupid, passed a guy on a huge ol bike (no, I dont know what kind, lol) and his riding gear was shorts, flip flops and of a course a Harley T-shirt (sleeveless).
No helmet, imagine that, but cool biker shades. Umm, whatever buddy.
