The author’s journey to understand the skull and crossbones began when
he was sixteen years old, even though he didn’t know it at the time.
Being a sixteen-year-old boy with limited means, when a friend offered
to sell him a Sears Vespa for $100, he jumped at the chance. Over the
ensuing years there was a Honda 250, a Yamaha, several Kawasakis, and
finally a long string of Harley Davidsons.
After about three years of riding, he accepted Jesus Christ as his
personal Saviour. Eventually, he began a motorcycle ministry that has
spanned more than four decades. Today, after being a biker for about 50
years, as well as being a pastor for quite a number of years, he is
comfortable in both arenas.
One thing he noticed is that bikers don’t get Christians, and Christians
don’t get bikers—in fact, both have told him so. Still, he functions
well in both circles.
Bikers, who know that he is a Christian, unabashedly lay claim to the
skull and crossbones symbols, thinking they are symbols of a more
sinister underworld. Pastor Hughes decided to research the subject to
understand if that point was indeed true. As he studied, shocking and
amazing discoveries emerged from the depths of history and the Bible. He
came to the conclusion that “bikers didn’t own the skull, God, the
creator did” (page 5).
These pages are the results of his study, and the intent is to provide
bikers with the knowledge that, through their own perceived symbolism,
that they and Christians have more in common than either side has
previously believed. More importantly, Jesus shed his blood for
everyone, even the most die-hard biker with skull-laden gear.
