1981 Bike Week Survivor Tee
This is an original 1981 Bike Week Survivor tee—pulled straight from the golden age of American biker culture. Screen-printed in classic multi-color ink, it features a vivid bald eagle graphic soaring in front of red, white, and blue banners, with bold “Daytona Beach Bike Week Survivor 1981” typeface across the front. The graphic placement and type design are unmistakably early ‘80s, and the shirt’s single-stitch construction confirms its vintage authenticity.
These survivor tees weren’t just souvenirs—they were earned. If you rode down and partied hard enough to wear the word “survivor,” you were part of the culture. The graphic’s punchy Americana energy captures that perfectly: long rides, beer-fueled nights, and a sense of brotherhood on the blacktop.
Made in the USA, the shirt features a soft, broken-in cotton body and shoulder-to-shoulder wear that drapes naturally. It’s wearable, collectable, and steeped in history. No reissue or remake can replicate the feel or weight of a true early ‘80s biker tee like this.
Tagged XL. Measures 20.5x27.5
Flaws – Natural vintage fade throughout. Graphic is lightly cracked but still vibrant.
Perfect for fans of Harley-Davidson history, vintage biker ephemera, or anyone building a true vintage tee collection with soul. These early biker shirts are only getting harder to find—especially ones with strong graphics and wearable sizing.
