...I ride it with a pair of muskets stuck in my belt, too. Can't fire pistols with a hook now, can I?

that is so rad! man it must be a bitch and half to ride with that flag tho, hehe..I bet its so cool in person..I hit cars with my tiny little flag, so I bet you are breaking windshields, knocking over trees/pedestrians and generally just causing a huge ruckus with yours.. HURRAY!! :D

Oktokrewl, the flagpole is made out of thinwall PVC -- it flexes and makes a tremendous racket as I roll down the street. The flag makes a really cool flapping sound, though!

On my maiden voyage, I tore the telephone line out of the roof of my house when I got the flagpole tangled up in it. I gotta watch out for low powerlines, tree limbs and all that.
