What is the meaning of giving a single spur to the survivor at a funeral of a biker?
Giving a spur to a survivor is a biker's tradition of honoring a fallen friend or loss of a loved one. Here is a presentation given at a friend's funeral (copied from a plac…ard given to the family at the service) - the name has been removed to respect the privacy of the family. Spur Presentation "Today, I have worn this single spur in honor of [deceased's name]. This tradition dates back to medieval days and the knighthood, when medieval horsemen returning from battle would wear one spur instead of a pair, symbolizing the loss of their brother knight. This was significant because it was their spurs that symbolized a man was a knight; not his sword, horse or armor. And no matter what kind of hardship a knight faced, he would part with everything else before he would part with his spurs. This tradition has been handed down and adopted by many groups throughout the centuries. Most notably, perhaps, is the United States Cavalry, where spurs are only awarded to a deserving few. These chosen few represented the best of the best and embodied all that has been, is, and ever will be great within the organization. The tradition has also been adopted by many of today's "Iron Horsemen" to honor a fallen brother or sister rider. With this tradition in mind, it is an honor and a privilege to present you with this spur as a keepsake to remember your loved one's last ride. Please accept our deepest condolences." When the verbal presentation is complete, motorcyclist kneels down, removes his spur, and presents it to the loved one. He then stands back up, turns and walks away.

Why do some bikers were 1 spur?
The myth supposedly began back in the days of the American Calvary. When a soldier would die, after his burial his comrades would take his boots and face them backwards in the… stirrups of the saddle on his horse. They would then ride away wearing only one spur out of respect for the fallen soldier. The motorcycling community has adopted this same symbol of honor. When you see a biker wearing one spur they are honoring brothers and sisters who have died chasing the wind.

Do bikers wear earrings in their left ear?
That's like asking what ear do warriors or pirates wear their jewelry. We wear rings, studs etc in either or both ears and sometimes multiple rings in one ear. Which one d…oesn't really matter anymore. Bikers tend to wear larger ear rings than you might find the average citizen or more "in your face". The "style" of what is now termed Goth has been worn by Bikers long before they existed. The same is true for the jewelry Rockers wore until the 80's when Rocker jewelry got a bit "delicate" for Biker taste. The bottom line is that a Biker wears what he wants, when he wants and where he wants as long as it shows no disrepect to those with whom he rides. There are no rules for jewelry...if there were, we probably wouldn't do it.

Why do bikers wear the swastika?
A very small percentage of white bikers who wear swastikas do so because they are racist (usually not Anti-Semitic though). A slightly larger percentage do so because there is… an identification in that subculture, even amongst non-White Motorcyclists, with the swastika as the ultimate "evil" or "badness". Also the fact that the Swastika is associated with very brutal, violent, and ultimately self-destructed movement appeals to a certain warrior ethic in the biker subculture. Most however simply wear it as a "leave me alone" deterrent. Bikers get a lot of attention, from people trying to test how tough they are, or people gawking, taking pictures, etc. If someone puts with a big swastika on their jacket or helmet, what better symbol would immediately communicate "leave me the **** alone," more efficiently? As is evident in the fact that many, if not more non-white bikers use swastikas as symbols than white bikers do.

Can a loner biker wear the one percent patch without repercussions from a one percent club?
Yes, but there will be consequences. Being a lone rider you shouldn't have too many confrontations with other 1%ers. I don't. But I don't push. I steer clear of all groups of …riders. Most 1%ers are club affiliated. I ride alone and nobody needs to know my mind. You will be questioned and maybe called out if you are around a pack of 1%ers . after all, they don't care about consequences or you.
