how about something like this to replace the rider? cool yet subtle. i like the BDI skull idea too. would need BDI's permission on that though.

i like the parts picture idea may be and explosion diagram (oem microfish?) of the 500 top end may be. The only problem is that this is a kx riders t-shirt not kx 500. I was thinking maybe have different options for the back of the shirt. for example.
1. stock kx 500, with the letters kx 500
2. kx500af
3 kx 65/85
4.kx125
5.kx250
6. parts diagram (as above)
ect

Mark, the guy doing this for us has already offered the option of a stock 500 on the front below what is already there
im am sure that this optional back idea will push the price up

thanks for the feed back i will give it a few more days so every one can have have some input. we will some how have to make a choice then.

I like the idea. I'd want the 500 on the back with something like "Can You Keep Up?" above it. Also prefer black shirt with green lettering. I destroy white shirts the first time I wear them lol.
It's hard to keep a drivers license riding a 2 stroke dirt bike on the street.  If you drive within the law they are VERY boring.

I would not care if you guys used my skully on it but that would be an honor I'm not sure if i deserve. As for this being a kxriders shirt and worrien what bike was on it goes, I think it would be oppropiate to have the grandfather of all kx dirt bikes on the shirt in any form you guys want to use.

oh yah! do the skull, do the skull!!! bdi, you have cool ideas and it would indeed be appropriate to have the skull on it in your honor. you deserve it. i do agree on having the K5 in the shirt, after all that is what this site is mostly about anyways.

on the back, in easy to see print,  ''Make my day, try and run''
And lo, I did loft the front wheel and carried it forth to the unbelievers, and cast it down before them and said unto them ''look now upon the might of my throttle control ye pitiful cretinous ones''
And the unbelievers did quake in their boots....

i'm trying to put up my take on a possible design. please bear with me cause work and my corel photo design program is kicking my butt. waiting on skull design from BDI and trying to add a kx500. there is a thin kawi green outline on the main lettering, i may make it thicker. heres a possible base design so far. the date is the beginning of the website. johnny, i'm not trying to run you over, i just wanted to put another option out there.

I agree. Sorry maddog I have looked every where for the disc that has my art on it but can't find it. The women who put it on disc for me robbed my buddies house so now I don't talk to her.

ok last call now on this, if you have anymore input for the t shirt now is the time. although i have to say all the ideas have been good, i quite like the simplicity of the plain kxriders.com front further up this page. perhaps with the optional back. we have somhow got to make a decision on this now. i think danger4u2 should get the final call as this is his site. how would you feel about this danger?. thanks to all that have taken the time to give some input.
best regards
john

hi mark. there has been alot of interest on the forum, just a couple of questions, can the t shirt be another colour other than white and could the be an option to have writing on the back of the buyer request e.g  kx500 and members name and maybe the kx500 pic you mentioned. how would this effect the price ect. i will email you a link to the t shirt thread in couple of day so you can veiw our coment ect. manythanks for you efforts so far

jonny500, you can do what you want but i would wait till the other design is complete so members can make an informed decision. it may be a week or 2 weeks tops before the other design is finished, so bear with us please. this other design requires 3 members to coordinate. kinda tough.

hi John, sorry i only work with white t-shirts due the printing process i use. I am not sure if you mean in your email that members would like the logo i sent you on the chest as well as an image of a kx500 on the back as well as there own name across the shoulders of the shirt, if so that would be very expensive for them to have done. At the moment i don`t realy want to get any more involved with the project than i already am, i have spent well over half a day on sorting graphics & had no return for my efforts so far, & as they say time is money especially when you work for your self. If we were talking about a large order with money up front to cover design costs like most other companies charge then yes i could spend a lot more time to sort it out for you, if there had been a steady flow of orders for the first design i sent you it would be a different case but as it stands it`s just not worth me spending any more time on the project. Mark

this is the email i recieved back
 
and my reply


i totally understand, being a grease monkey i would not know what is involved in a t-shirt design lol. however i do know what its like to invest time in things that are not profitable. i wont ask for any more of your time until there is a definate order acompanyed by some payments. its just takes some time for so many people to make choices.

best regards

john


so the shirt has to be white. i am thinking go with madoggys front on a white shirt with nothing else. nice simple and easy.
i know this situation is not ideal but i think we wont find anyone to print them and post in the way this guy has offered
