69 Sturgis: Best Selling Design Ever

By Laurie Williams


Those who have spent a lot of time with bikers will know how creative the designs can be in terms of biker art. We see it in tattoos, on clothing, and even on the bikes themselves. I think that some of this artwork is so great that it should really be in a museum. But that begs the question, what would be considered the best, and most creative piece of biker artwork?

While there are no hard statistics, biker gear retailers often point to the 69 Sturgis skeletons as the best selling design over the last couple of years. If it's not the best-seller of all time it is at least the best selling design from the 2009 biker season. Almost everything that was sold during the 2009 rallies had this design on it from hoodies, to t-shirts to mugs and almost everything else. You can find some of these t-shirts and hoodies available to buy at the Online Biker Shop.

So what makes this artwork so special? Sex, booze and skeletons are included in the design and these are the three things that most bikers love the most. The fact that the Sturgis bike rally of 2009 was the 69th of its kind was something that the artist took advantage of and this made the design even more interesting and exciting.

If you haven't seen it yet we suggest you look it up right now. The artwork was so creative that it was even incorporated into the 2010 rally by adding "+1" and an extra skeleton. I often wonder if the artist was the same for both years.

Creativity is one of the hallmarks of the artists who create the images for bike rallies. They have the ability to capture all the aspects of each rally that make it unique from all other ones. Yet all of the artwork together paints a great picture of the entire bike season for that year.

For now it appears as though the 2009 Sturgis artwork will remain as the best selling design in recent history. But we always have 2012 to look forward to. Hopefully we will see some spectacular designs at next seasons rallies.
