You know who this is. You've been this guy. Heck, some of you ARE this guy right now. Bandaged leg. Missing a shoe. A couple of fresh bruises. And still standing there like he absolutely owns the place. That expression, that half-squint, chin-up, "yeah so what" face, that is the most accurate portrait of a rider I have ever seen.

And okay, fine, I'll admit it. This one hit a little close to home. Some of you already know I've been nursing a leg injury recently. And the first thing everyone asked me was "are you done riding for a while?" I just looked at them and smiled. Because that's not really how this works, is it?

We fall. We get back up. We wrap it up, get back on the bike, and act like it was all part of the plan. The scars are just the receipts. The bandages are temporary. The road isn't going anywhere.

Heavy Rider doesn't mean you're reckless. It means you're committed. It means you've paid your dues and you're still showing up. Battered, a little broken maybe, but absolutely undefeated.

So yes, I designed this tee while sitting with an injured leg. And yes, I'm already thinking about the next ride. Some things don't change.

No regrets. Just road rash.
