Gas Tank Murals





I love gas tank murals.

They can be dragons, or Nordic warriors, or maybe naughty pictures, eagles are alright too.

I love that the construction of a custom chopper is not enough to contain the builders vision and creativity. To fully convey their biker vision, they must go so far as to provide a graphic narrative upon the gas tank to complete the story.


This one, I think, is a landscape?

It kinda looks like a road there, on top.
So, when you are riding your motorcycle down the road, if you get bored, you can look down at the picture of the road and imagine riding there?
I am not sure, but i am pretty sure there is some really heavy Timothy Leary style thinking involved with true understanding of the meaning contained in this gas tank mural.
