The Way To Spot Bikers by Their Biker T-Shirts

By Kerry Mills


If you were to ask someone to explain to you what a biker is, you may be surprised when you get two different answers from most of the people who you stop and ask. Some people see motorcyclists as the solitary, leather-clad road warrior who makes his way down the avenues of the world as a solitary man on a bike. There are still others who will tell you that the average biker is part of a collective, who join together to form biker gangs that ride in tight packs like wolves of the road. Well, the truth is completely different, and yet somewhat the same. Bikers are indeed loners and they also group together, but there is a wide range of people who fall somewhere in between. It is actually easier to tell them apart by the biker t-shirts they wear.

Bikers group together for a wide variety of reasons that reflect the type of cyclist that they are. There are plenty of riders out there who ride merely for the fun of it. These are the people who buy funny biker t-shirts to tease their friends with and make motorists laugh. They like to attend group events and have a close knot of friends who usually ride with them, and are especially good about joining in on charity events.

Bikers group together for strength, camaraderie, and safety. Motorcycles are notoriously unsafe, mainly because of the careless driving of others. Having another rider with you ensures that if anything happens, you will have a friend there to contact emergency services right away. Doing anything you have a passion for is always better when you have someone with you who shares the passion and the experience. The more nefarious bikers ride together as a show of power to others who wish them ill will. The sight of similar biker t-shirts is a good indicator of which type of biker you're dealing with.

The style of biker t-shirts that a person wears will also give you a good indicator of their level of biker intensity. Bikers who are into it just for the image is give them and for the mere enjoyment of the hobby, then they will most likely be wearing shirts that are from various biker events that they have attended. The loner biker who takes his bike a deal more seriously may be wearing a funny, offensive biker t-shirts or t-shirts that bear typical biker images, like skulls and eagles.

The third tier of bikers are the people who you don't really want to mess with under any circumstances. The biker t-shirts these guys wear will usually be plain and unadorned. Their vests and jackets with be covered with patches that carry a secret message of their allegiances, achievements, ranking, and exploits. These are the guys who don't need biker t-shirts to sell their validity. These are the top one percent of criminal bike gangs, and their loyalty to the club is unconditional. If you see one of these guys, just put your hands up and back slowly away.
