Thomas Rhett has plenty of friends who ride motorcycles, including Dierks Bentley, Florida Georgia Line and Brantley Gilbert, but he says he is definitely not a rider, at least not yet. He admits, “The only motorcycle I’ve ever been on was Brantley Gilbert’s and I knocked it over, back stage at a concert. So I decided from that point forward that if I’m gonna do it I need to take lessons before I ride.”
Thomas is out on the road this year with Jason Aldean, who is also a motorcycle rider, so perhaps he’ll get those lessons this year. In the meantime, he just released his brand new single, “T-shirt,” the follow-up to his six-week #1 song, “Die A Happy Man.”
