The Worst Motorcycle Gang Tattoos

Motorcycle gangs are notorious for a number of things, most of which are their criminal — and generally immoral — endeavors.

Here are 10 of the worst motorcycle related tattoos ever. Click on any image to see a larger version.

The World's First Comprehensive Guideto Commuting on a Motorcycle With a Pet
Commuting with your pet on a motorcycle? That just might be the holy grail for any serious biker. And yet most novice riders have no idea how to achieve this lofty goal.

Worry no longer. Here at SpotMotorcycles, we've put together the definitive guide to transporting your animal on your motorbike.

We've scoured the interwebs for pictorial examples of experienced riders doing things the right way... and the wrong. When we were unable to find evidence of proper technique, we commissioned an award-winning artist to provide the sketches we needed.

The guide is divided into one section per animal. Click on any sketch to see a larger version.

He'll Eat You Only If He Has To

That bears can drive motorcycles is a well-known fact. See the picture at right for just one such example.

What's not so well-known is that bears have very little interest in the rules of the road. Bears have been known to speed in school zones, to change lanes without signaling, and to honk in front of hospitals.

Do not be lulled in to the false sense of security a bear can provide when he first hops in the saddle. You're better off designating yourself the driver.

Omnivorous Bears Only
The only downside to transporting a bear on the back of your bike is that he may get hungry. A hungry bear will reach out for most convenient tasty morsel he can find which, in this case, is likely to be you.

This problem is easily solved, though. Simply give the bear a sticky, gooey snack that will take him some time to work through. A big pot of honey is a good choice, as is a tub of peanut butter or lard. You should refill his snack periodically, of course, lest he get to the bottom of it and start looking around for dessert.
