It is a tradition brought over from the Cavalry. A single spur is worn on the right boot in remembrance of a fallen Brother.
Some riders are also members of The Order of the Spur, a tradition in the US Cavalry in which a Trooper is awarded his Combat Spurs after engaging in combat or completing a Spur ride.

When I was a prospect with a one percent club in south Texas, I ask my sponsor this question. The answer was, as many have said, to honor the fallen, but there's more to it. Spurs are a pair, one without the other isn't much good. If u have a brother perhaps one u came up with as a prospect, even an old lady, anyone who you love and u know, and for whatever reason u won't see them for a while, or maybe ever, u split the pair each taking one. If u see one spur then u know somewhere in the world there's a person person who has the other. It about love and respect for a true friend a brother. And with every step, the jingle of that rowel is a constant reminder of someone who made an impression on u r life. It's a special gesture, not done lightly. Yes for the fallen, and for those that are no longer part of u r life, but u want to remember. The whole gay thing may be true in some parts of the world, but in the true biker world, it's respect, and love for someone gone, but not forgotten. You split the pair, as u have had to split with u r brother, even sometimes an old lady. That's what I was told anyway, and it makes more sense than most of this . Bikers are all about respect, and when u earn that, and it must be earned, then u r family. They also are big on symbolism, and tradition. It's as simple as that.

Why do bikers wear spurs?

Why do some bikers were 1 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.

Why do bikers use the iron cross symbol?
I haven't noticed that many bikers using it but if they do you can bet it got its basis from the Wehrmacht bikers during WW2. The iron cross is a German symbol. The Germans were some of the first to employ motorcycles heavily in combat. The iron cross and other symbols like it had their base in the medieval era including the teutonic knights who the Germans used as propoganda. You know how some bikers wear those kaizer helmets with the metal spike on top, or we think of bikers like that, its the same concept.
