That would like very nice on your bike, if it's not too big.  Suits a cowboy just fine.

I like it mostly;
The checkerboard makes it hard to read, especially from a distance.  I'd like to see the loop from the "o" up higher so it doesn't look so much like an "a" and try the script in a more contrasting colour like red / or maybe the checks in grey.
Just to see...

I ditto that sentiment, the "o" looks like an "a" and I wanted to read"racing-M" but it was misspelled! LOL

All in all, I think it looks great.  I can see what Ernie and others are saying, but I do like the font.  It's got that sixties thing to it.  Mebbe it'd look cool without the checkerboard, but then it would lose the cafe aspect.

Well, I have been debating on the checkered flag strip down the center of the bike.
So it may be best to lose it on the brand. O point well taken!

How about this simple change? I'll be keeping this one small anyway.
About 5" to fit the rear cowl.

I still like the original. The lack of color seems to make it more "classic." I should add though, my wife has suggested on more than one occasion that all my taste is in my mouth.  ;D

Hey Heffay,

A fellow down the road is making these up for me. I'm not sure what he is using.
I'm going to find out though since the only way I know to do it is with a drafting board :(

The guy who did my decal would be able to change that "a" to an "o" pretty easily.  It should be easy to try the checkerboard in grey and white, too.  Just needs to drop back a little visually.  If you haven't done so yet, look at it from 5 or even 10 feet away to see what I mean.

Now you're in trouble- Kathleen's in on this, too.
I/we really liked the lettering with shadow behind it.  The lighter checkerboard helps, but we'd like to see it a little lighter still.
Also- keep in mind that if this is going on the bike in your avatar, anything orange/red on the sticker is going to basically disappear.

Hey, great minds think alike. I like the shadow one too. And now since your in the Blue Ridge Mountains,

this is the start of our Cafe Decal, it will say Blue Ridge Mountains on the bottom some how or other.

That's the best offer I've had since Kathleen said, "Where the hell are YOU going?!"
Discretion forbids me to mention how long ago that was...

I've noticed a few ton up clubs. One is in Raleigh I believe.

And just what did you answer Kathleen? I hope it was
the right answer.  :)
