Motorcycle Jack O’ Lanterns That Are Surprisingly Epic

It’s that time of year again. Time to grab your pumpkins, candles, and carving materials to get ready for Halloween. People have been carving pumpkins for hundreds of years and lighting a candle in a pumpkin is a tradition created to ward off evil spirits - but most of us just do it for fun. We’ve seen a lot of creative carvings in our day, and this Oct. 31st, why not combine your love of riding and Halloween? We’ve rounded up a few of our favorite motorcycle-themed Jack O’ Lanterns that will give you some serious carving inspiration for the upcoming holiday. Check them out below.


A lot of riders pay tribute to their motorcycle brand of choice and we are all about it...

Ready to try out one of these motorcycle designs for yourself this Halloween? Figure out the design first, and once you’ve decided, we suggest printing out examples or templates that you can either tape directly to the pumpkin for easy carving or use the images as a guide for a freehand drawing. Check out this simple motorcycle stencil that’s printable and free to use to get started.
