Okay, so you don't have to have your motorcycle on it.  You can put whatever you want on it, front and back.  I've been wanting a shirt with my motorcycle on it, so I will probably take this opportunity.....

To get 1 shirt shipped to you for $12.73, use coupon code: D25OFF (25% off)

Buy 3 for $30.94 using this code:  D10P25 ($10 off a $25)  expires 10/28/2008

Will post pics of how my shirt turns out.

I got 3 for $30.94 shipped.  I am excited about this shirt because I've been wanting to put my bike on a shirt.

Thanks Hope. Please report on your experience and quality of the work done. I have a couple of companies on file who do similar work and I'm considering having my artwork printed up.

One company is Cafe Press, another is Zazzle- we're all familiar with, and another will take your uploaded image and print onto poster paper and even giclee.

The prices here are much better than the prices at CafePress & Zazzle.  If you are printing your shirts for profit, neither of those companies are the way you want to go.  You want to make friends with someone who prints silk screen shirts.  I have a little deal on the side where I sell shirts for profit.  PM me and I can let you know more.

If you are printing the shirts for yourself, this is an excellent option.  A few folks have used  their services here and they say the quality is pretty good.

I'd also be interested in the quality of the cotton.

I've used Cafepress (Glenn's first run of shirts about 3 years ago). The printing has faded a little but the shirt has held its shape and irons up nicely.

Zazzle is similar - good quality cotton but in this case (one of Heffay's shirts) the printing has faded badly.

I can find nobody here (UK) who offer a similar service and have to be sure before embarking on transatlantic shipping!



PS: My Triumph shirt design was removed by Zazzle at the request of Triumph's lawyers!

Again Hope, thanks for this info. It's good to know what options are out there. I like my SOHC/4 Zazzle shirt but that picture book has th' gears turning!

How's the truck running?

The truck is running fine.  I am changing the flywheel now.  I couldn't get one ordered during the storm. 

My order has shipped so now I am waiting for it to come in.  I will take plenty of pics when the shirts come in!

I don't have a motorcycle, sold it ('85 Yamaha Venture Royale).  Haven't had a CB750 for over 40 years.

It turned out fine.  I don't recall having a problem sizing the images at all.  I am still wearing the shirts too!  Just wore one the other day.

Heffay faded badly also.  ;D

This place ships from China, so it definitely isn't Zazzle.  I found the shirt size a little small, so order a size larger than you would regularly wear.
