In for a large whatever the final design, as always. Looks good to me.

Re:Outlaw Ride '09 at Big Nose Kate's Saloon
Personally I think it's crazy begging anybody to do the ride. History, good food, great roads, Guzzi people, bike weather and some of the last land in the country where you can get away with WFO fun. No brainer.
Five weeks left and no charge. Questions ? PM me. We make the ride and we are the ride.

" The worst day riding is better then the best day fishing ". No excuse (unless your a prison punk).

Criminitly Lup, don't offer that many choices. We'll never get it figured out (welcome to the wacky world of T-shirt design/printing). You'll never get anyone to agree. That design leaves RR out too. :huh:
Text is OK, but a bit too Toys-R-Us for me.
I would like the Southwest Guzzisti Tacho design on the high back/neckline like last year, regardless of which.

From "Little" Larry,
As the designer of the above, I feel I should throw in my two cents here.
Richard is not included in the design because it is simply too chaotic with the other image. This source photo is a much more balanced composition and is far more suitable for a t-shirt. The tachometer will not be included on the back of the shirt due to price considerations. By keeping costs down it encourages people to purchase more than one shirt and allows for a better price overall from the printer; Wal-Mart economics. Given the relatively low turnout of the event, it becomes absurd to add complexity to the design as it would greatly increase the per unit price of the shirts. As you know, the price per unit decreases the more shirts are printed, so if the run is too small these could very well become $20 shirts and that's kind of nuts.
I do agree that the font could be improved, and so I have switched it to something more stylish. I also agree that there are too many choices there, so I have cut it down to the below. The overall premise of the brown ink on a sand shirt is to create a sepia-like appearance. Due to the previous choices, I noticed that the red ink on a sand shirt also looked good and had a very nice western flair. As you said yourself, it is impossible to get everyone to agree on a choice and, while you may like the gray, I am sticking with sand. Others here in Arizona have expressed concerns with getting yet another black shirt, so that has very strongly affected my view on the shirt color.

Re:Outlaw Ride '09 at Big Nose Kate's Saloon
Check the lead post. I've added a map of the route. Also, email me your orders for shirts if you plan on doing the ride so I can plan the order with the screener. To keep it simple all shirts will be short sleeve. $10 for small through x-large and $12 for xx-large. Send order to motolupo@netscape.net
Thank you, Lupo
PS. Let me know about your plan for the night in Clifton so I can reserve (shared) rooms.

Re:Outlaw Ride '09 at Big Nose Kate's Saloon
hey, I'm trying to follow along (late at seeing these updates) on my screen there are 2 blank lupo mesg. blocks and then talk of different "t" then I see a block of text with little Larry defending why he chopped picure and pic of second "t"....I don't mind/care if my image is in the design, I think the tan and brown with the image cropped tighter represents the SouthWest flavor, if not mistaken the T-shirt shop always drive home the importance of "less is more".

Larry,
I will be there unless my wife has major problems after her surgery on April 16 or I am having big troubles.
My friend in Camp Verde is going to Mongolia, why, is beyond me. After the ride i planed to stay with him, which messed me up big time.
I had planned to stay with Larry and his wife, but maybe I should just stay with his wife :evil:

An odd thing happened moments after my last post. Friend Larry, in Camp Verde, was riding home on his BMW from Blythe and at a roadside rest for a Red Bull break, a fellow collapsed in front of the rest room. Someone tried to help, but it was grim. A RN tried to help and things went south. Larry, a EMT in one of his past incarnations, assisted while someone else called 911. The poor soul expired right there.
Wow, what a story.
I posted here because this is where I was when all this happened.

Sorry to here your pal had to go through that. Even if the guy was a stranger it's still tough to see someone check out.
To address your first post: After the Outlaw Ride you could plan on the Prescott Rally. You'll have the new bag and Walmart is 10 minutes from the rally site. Just pick up a $29 tent and an $18 thirty pack
To all reading this, be sure and check the changes to the lead post.
