Is It Wrong to have tassels on a Dude's bike ?

[CURTIS L LINDGREN]

Just got this Beauty. I love the patina. Will work on bringing out the details ( What is best .......Evaporust, or WD40 ? ) Can't figure out what to do about the tassels.............never had 'em on a bike before. I'm an older guy.........................isn't this a kid's thing. I'm sure these have been on this bike for decades. Since I want to "Preserve" ,and not restore this Gem.................What should I do about the tassels ?

I vote no tassels!:eek:

Sweet project. Did you have to mess with the light or did it work?

Definitely axe the streamers. My little Sister had them on her bike along with a pin wheel. Get one of Joe's Surspins for that ride.

One vote for leaving them on there.. That bike has had those. on it longer than you've had the bike. So they should stay.
BTW if that chainguard doesn't fit I would be interested in buying it.

I believe Pee Wee Herman had tassles on his...

Don't ask, Don't tell.

They call em wrist snappers when there on a Harley

Either wear a skirt when you ride or ditch them! V/r Shawn

Well I'm outvoted then; the next time I see a 37 knucklehead I'm gonna go up to him and tell him his bike looks like something peewee would ride

You might get a knuckle in the head if you do that!
