Grandpa Tee Shirts

[Riverdawg]

In case you didn't get in on the order for these Grandpa/motorcycle tee shirts, another campaign is started and as of this morning they need (11) more reservations to start a run. Takes about 2 weeks after the campaign ends to ship, they don't charge you until they make them.

nice looking shirt, although their "sense of urgency" isn't exactly true:

Custom shirt made for Grandpas who love to Ride Motorcycles.
They will never be sold again or in stores. Don't delay, they will sell out! <---- looks like they will be sold again if they get 11 more.

This is one of those "design it yourself" sites and then you can sell it. Do you know is it silk screen or Direct To Garment Ink printing? I couldn't find
where they said how it's printed on their site and I was thinking about getting one cause they are available in BIG sizes and I don't do Silk Screen or DTG.

Matt,
The sales verbiage is kind of contradictory, (never again unless you order enough?), and it does look like a promo kind of thing for groups or clubs, but I got one on the original campaign after Rocky posted about it and had several people asking me where I got it. I don't even know who restarted the "campaign".

I'll check tonight and see if I can answer your question about the printing, you obviously know more about it than I do. The last silk screening I did was in 1971 and you cut the film with an exacto knife and melted it on the silk with acetone, sqeegee'd the ink by hand, each color!

The shirt is silk screen printed. I wore mine at the Wisconsin Dells ride-in this past weekend, and got lots of compliments.

I ordered one from this company (TeeSpring) about a month ago for my wife who rides. "Cool Grandmas Ride Motorcycles". It's a nice shirt.

JMO, I like the wording but don't care for black tee shirts.

[Riverdawg]

The premium ringspun tee comes in red or light blue. It's light but good quality.

(3) more for minimum, got some Grandpas over on the COG and Chromehead forums getting some!

Why don't we push for a 'Wing silhouette, instead of that V2 lookin' thing they got goin' on.

I sure like mine! I get thumbs up everywhere I sport it!!

I agree, it would look better for our crowd. I don't have a clue who started this design campaign, just bought one during it's last run and someone asked about it. Anyone can start a campaign with virtually any design and see if it will fly. I think it's actually setup up like a promo or club thing to make a profit for a group. If we wanted to start a campaign with a Goldwing featured design, maybe we could donate the proceeds to support the website?
I see on their site examples where 200 shirt sales net $490. They have one about the Granite Mountain Hotshots Crew that has sold 28,000 tees shirts.
I would buy two Goldwing featured shirts, if it were to happen. Could even be GLForum and Goldwing featured. What do you think Chris?

[Riverdawg]

The minimum has been met. They will continue to take orders until Sept. 18th, but all reserved shirts as of now will be printed.

After I bought my first shirt. I went back and ordered a Blue shirt for safe keeping. I have been known to mess up a nice shirt in the past helping some poor schleb who has broken down in d past..lol

[Riverdawg]

Road Rat,
Thanks for catching that date error.
