what is the significanae of a biker wearing one 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.

One of the meanings of the word "spur" is "to impose or force an event or action to occur". Thus, the phrase "on the spur of the moment" would mean "to force an event to occur immediately", as in the following example: "Having spent hours on his computer, little Jackie realized that he was wasting his life just sitting there, accomplishing nothing, so, on the spur of the moment, he turned the machine off, and ran outside to find friends to play with."

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 placard 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.
