Pirates of the New River

Last Halloween, it was clear — with the abundance of unkempt facial hair and trifecta of bandannas, leather, and smudged eyeliner — you were the best Capt. Jack Sparrow in the room. So when everyone exclaimed “Cool biker getup!” you became… less-than-thrilled. But it’s no one’s fault for the mix-up — bikers are the road equivalent to pirates of the high seas. There’s the emblematic use of skull and crossbones, reputations of being unruly houseguests, and a pioneering spirit when it comes to unchartered territory (even when it’s just an off-the-beaten-path coleslaw wrestling joint).
