Ok well I hadn't read any of the link but after the nice sampling by kghost...

I honeslty think there must be some pretty nice drugs available.

The ancient swaztica symbol actually has a meaning of life and birth in many ancient cultures. Most people don't know about that.

Modern history and the Nazis have unfortunately tainted the ancient symbol for who knows how long.

ALot of the 1%s also wore swastikas to keep people away or as a method of intimidation. Dont get me wrong alot of the 1%s who sported it were fascists but alot also wore it just to scare and outrage people. That was more 60s and 70s. Oh yea, Jimmy Hendrix had a swastika on his bike, and sometimes wore a german picklehaub. (WW1 helmet but outlawish non-the-less.)

I don't think that it was making it that embarrassed me.... but the fact that the guy took 3 months to pick it up. I mean if you paid for it, you'd want it right away right?

And besides, a giant chrome swastika'd backrest was kinda hard to hide in a 2-car-garage-sized shop. I got all kinds of people wondering what the hell they got in to.

I have no problems letting things like the "SS" bolts, or even the WWI german helmets as stated above, lying around. But it kinda creeped me out when you could visibly see people's reactions.

I have no problems with it, #$%* ya if you can't take a joke. But sometimes it can be bad for business.

Speaking of stereotypes.... Is it bad to have about 30-40 500lb black guys sitting around on little 600cc sportbikes outside your shop all the time??

Cops drive by reeeeeaaaaaaaaaaallllllllyyyyy slow breaking their necks trying to see.
