When it comes to motorcycle t-shirts, men are pretty particular.

I should know.

I’ve been doing my own deeply scientific research on the subject.
My methods are flawless.

They involve asking the Big Questions over several beers.

Turns out, guys often want 3 things from a motorcycle t-shirt…

The perfect women’s motorcycle t-shirt only has to do three things.

It has to:

1. Reflect your personality
2. Look good, and
3. Be comfortable.

That doesn’t seem too hard, does it?

So WHY do women’s motorcycle t-shirts so often do the opposite?

In reality, they’re more likely to…

When I lived in Australia, I used to hate going to motorcycle shows.

Summertime motorcycle shows would be set up in a large hangar where the temperature hovered around a million degrees.

Parking was a nightmare, and you’d have to leave your bike miles away at the edge of a massive parking lot.
Then you’d trudge for half an hour in your leathers and boots under a blazing sun, back to the hangar.

On this delightfully sweaty trek, you’d try to ignore the circling packs of suspicious, aggressive policemen just itching to make an arrest.

Finally, you’d arrive at the hangar door: scowling, sunburned, and panting.

And the fun just kept on coming…

Seen one vintage motorcycle, you’ve seen them all, right?

Oh, that’s hilarious.
It’s pure delusion.

Because a vintage motorcycle is a wonderful thing.

It’s unique.
It’s individual.

Old motorbikes have character.
They have a soul.

And old motorbikes are devastatingly beautiful…

OK, I’ll admit it: I may be just a tiny bit obsessed with motorcycle tanks.

Of course, there are already plenty of cool things to look at on a bike.
You want to check out the motor, the exhaust system, the shocks, the bars…

There’s a lot going on.

And because I’ve been riding on the back of bikes for 25 years, I always take a second look at a motorcycle’s passenger seat, too.

There’s wonderful distraction everywhere.
But I have to say for me, motorcycle tanks are the Main Event.

They’re always the focal point of a bike.
They really reflect a bike’s identity, and unique style.

Maybe I should go see a therapist about my obsession with motorcycle tanks.
Come to think about it, talking about them for hours in group therapy would be a lot of fun.

But in the meantime, here’s a peek at some of my favorite motorcycle tanks.
