Telling Bikers Apart By The Biker T-Shirts They Wear

By Peter Mills


The world of the motorcycle enthusiast is as varied and different as any hobby possibly can be. The problem is that there is no way to really classify the group as a whole because the members of this particular group don't always really associate with one another. Some of them are thought of as lone nomads who have no permanent home while others are part of a large organization of bike owners. If you really are interested in classifying this patchwork quilt of hobbyists, then you need to pay close attention to the kind of biker t-shirts that they are wearing.

There are many organizations that remain loose, and can really only be considered a club because they get together and ride. The seriousness of these groups usually is reflective of how serious these people consider their motorcycling. Hobbyists will only get together for Sunday afternoon drives and may, or may not, be wearing a few poker run biker t-shirts here and there. If a group lives more of the classic biker outlaw lifestyle, then you will see the organizations that they are a part of be much more intense and cohesive.

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 last are certainly the rarest, and that's a good thing. These guys are hardened criminals who really are living the life of the biker gangster. They usually don't even wear biker t-shirts, preferring to wear leather vests and coats that are covered with patches that tell the story of the wearer to anyone else in the know. Violence, crime, drugs, and death follow in the wake of these guys. If you see someone covered in jailhouse tattoos, wearing plain white or black tees, and sporting driving leathers...then have the common sense to stay away. These aren't bikers you want to play with. Luckily, they comprise only about the top 1% of all motorcyclists.
