Tank Plan A is back in good shape. New stock Header with a V and H S22R muffler, runs pretty good a lot more quiet, but seems to have the occasional cough on initial throttle input. the force had it sometimes but usually when it was running hot. I might need to get it dyno tuned. I'm curious to what she's putting out at the rear wheel. To All Y.I.R. this weekend is bike racing I'm thinking about riding out saturday morning. just tossing it out there Mike P.S. plan A has the corbin seat back now also. |

Got it Mike, So thats: 1 clear up the XB 2 put the logo into the sign 3 spray paint "hooligans" bottom left to upper right 4. use the two lightnings facing opposite directions at the bottom with the Buell logo in the middle. Sound about right? Any preference on exit # for the sign? |

Mel Not an exit # the # 7 is for the seven buellers that have made a ride. outside of that you pretty much have got the idea. Me personally I think this should be the shirt. Mike |

Alright... lets roll with the "HOGS". It looks like its going to start at that new HD dealership in P-Town. If you show up... look for the other Buells! (lol) |

Man, I knew I should have looked at this more recently. I'm right around the corner from that HD dealership. And it's already too late. Oh well, I'll be riding out to the beach for some errands and whatnot. Ride safe. Brett |

Spotted a Black S1 (at least I think it was an S1, I was driving past and didn't get the best look at it) parked over at the local KTM dealer with 30-day temps on it. If I had seen that up for sale I would have been on that like stink on shit. Brett |

To all took 4 rolls of film today, only saw 3 Buells, a black XB lightning, a blue XB12R bolt and a black M2 cyclone it had the manta tank and a huge seat so I'm guessing it was near the end of production and 01 possible. Look for me in the crown at turns 4 and 5 I'll be in the Buell shirt. |

To all Took a picture of a custom Monster at the Ducati tent. It had "Hurricane" across the tank. I guess Erik's influence can be felt in the land of pasta. |

Mel The number seven on the sign is for the seven of us who have made some rides, and it should be a sign like 7 miles to hampton. I was thinking a monochromatic print to keep costs down and was looking for help in removing the shading from the XB and adding the hooligan script. keeping the format and artwork as submitted, I really don't know S--- about computers. It's amazing I can post these threads Mike |

I like the flame job.... that's pretty cool. did you do that Tank? I hear ya Mike, kinda tough to work with the fax though. Maybe if I had the original picture scanned in I could edit it. I basically took your idea and found pictures out on the web to edit and combine into what you see above. (Yeah, I forgot it wasn't supposed to be an exit number) Do you already have a place in mind to screen the shirts or were you thinking of going the "low cost" "high tech" thing with the Iron-on's? Because, I don't think any of us are above Iron-ons!!! |

I like the bike logo, but I would do an "H" in the front and an "R" in the rear instead of in the frame. When I first looked at it I couldn't see the "R". I think it will clean up the logo a bit more, also shimmy up the "Hooligans" text to make it a bit tighter. Just my .02 |

Mel I've worked with a couple of screen printers over the years wit some low volume work. Which what I am guessing once we decide on what we want, this will also be low volume. next time we ride together I'll try to bring some original artwork for you to scan Mike |

Mel! I like it. How about Hampton Roads in the background. Hooligans in front (read, black, others...) Take the "exit" off and leave the "7"... keep the white and green highway sign. What do you think? That is for the back.. and a small Tank's flame Pegasus for the front left chest. We can sell at least 7 t-shirts. Van
