Lol I thought you meant the bike before I read the scarf bit.

"Uh, vermillion, I don't think they make those quite yet"


I dunno, know any tailors?

Or, just buy a regular scarf and cut the edges if it's that raggedy look you're wanting.

Or, if it's just the scarf you're wanting, buy one.
Have fun on the open /¦\

yeah, the raggedy look is a must.

:laughing:

i got so caught up looking for motorcycle scarves that i forgot i could look for regular scarves instead.

i'll look for regular scarves then. i need a wine red color to match my helmet. and then i'll figure out how to get the raggedy look.

thanks.

Tell me honestly, do you really want something wrapped around your neck flapping away that could get stuck on cars, trucks, signs, other bikes trees etc etc etc.

The whole idea is to wear tight fitting clothing. You're a biker, not a super hero. Speaking of which, have you seen The Incredibles? LMAO girl gets sucked into a jet engine.
Of course I'm generalizing from a single example here, but everyone does that. At least I do.

He could be. It's a dirty job but someone's gotta do it.

Plus a great way to meet chicks. They always seem to be getting dropped out of windows/grabbed by giant apes/robbed/stuck in burning buildings and the like.

well yeah, my helmet, jacket, gloves, pants, and boots are tight. the scarf won't fly off unless i put it on wrong. i'd probably hit the obstacle 1st before the scarf gets caught.

and yeah, i've seen the incredibles, it was surprisingly entertaining.

scarves have a good purpose accdg to D. Hough. plus i like the look. even if i do find and get one, i'll only wear them at night and next winter time. it's already getting hot in here.

I said nothing about flying off. That loose flapping thing wrapped securely around your neck could easily snag on something, while remaining attached to you. Whcih results in:
1) you leaving the bike
2) it tearing off you
3) broken neck

well, that sounds like worst case scenarios and i assume you mean if it's flapping sideways... since i'll hit or get hit 1st before it gets caught from the front or the back of the bike.

im not trying to argue BTW. but you're right, i guess crosswinds would be dangerous w/ it. thanks for the warning. i only pictured it flapping behind me.
