Sticker = £3.00 to round things up
P & P
£0.70 1st class
£0.60 2nd class
At cost for upto 15 stickers for UK only. Ask for price outside UK please.
I will put the individual price from the printers on here when I receive the invoice so you can see how much will go to the Forum.
Original post:
Does anyone know if Forum stickers exist ?
I was thinking of having some made on a non profit basis. Any profit that could be made could be donated to the forum,,,,
what do you think ?
:agree: +1 :punk:
Asif did mention about three years ago that he was going to produce a newsletter, a monthly newsletter. well it hasn't materialised yet but when it does it's going to be one hell of a publication. :popcorn:
forum stickers are a great Idea, id make a small donation .
Well being as they are for the Forum.........anyone got an idea on designs..? :feedback:
hey ant, how are you progressing with the canyon cages? maybe they will be a good place to put the forum sticker!
:hammer: :hammer: Final fit and test on Wednesday, off to powder coaters next week.....hopefully, once I've done the fitting instructions,
ordered the right size boxes, bolts, checked every set, and finalised prices etc etc, should be ready to ship out next week.
Slight design change to rear, with option to use with crash mushroom, or not. And i think you will like the price for what you get !!!
Your talking of a small sticker there aren't you Viper ? I was thinking of one you could see !! :mfr_lol:

Looks ok,
Can work along those lines,,,,,,Rectangle or round ? And should the forum info be larger ?
I was just messing with an idea, that took about 3 minutes to put together, just put some ideas on here and see what people think.
Crickey....I didnt want to spend that long on them !!!! :mfr_lol:
Are there any graphic designers on the forum that might fancy a pro-bono project?
Anywho, just throwing some ideas out there:
A GTR riding around the world
A GTR riding off on a great long road that goes off into the distance and over the horizon
A GTR leant over going round a twisty black ribbbon road
GTR1400 text in the shape of a GTR

Maybe something with Concours 1400?
Think our american friends have a special sticker for 100.000 kms also . Post a pic from your dashboard with the kms/miles on it and you can buy the special sticker...
A litlle idea if it is not too expensive to make them ;
Of course it,s possible from 50.000 miles also :-)

Got a rough price on some laminated stickers today, 4" round Diameter, union jack background ( faded ) silhouette GTR with forum address on.
I'll sell them at £2.99 plus P&P of which £1.70 goes to the forum, 10p to the envelope, and £1.19 to the printers.
I will pop a pic on here when the proof comes through.... hopefully it will be in HIGH DEFINITION for Viper :mfr_lol:
If you think its ok, i'll get 50 made, if not........i'll forget it.. :whistling:
I will go for one or two, sounds ideal way to recognise fellow forum users?
Im In
Ye sounds a great idea I'm in for a couple :devil2: :devil2: :devil2:
Me too, or two???
4 for me please
2 for me please :cool:
Just an update...just had a proof from the designers......Are these any good ???
IMO. 'kawasaki' looks odd being off centre.
Do away with the 'K' logo, and centre the word 'kawasaki'
Is the flag too bright as well ???
Too much of: "www."s
Ok, i'll take a few more comments then have them redesigned and thats it.......
If you see a bike with 50 of these all over it --- assume they didn't go down well :mfr_lol: :mfr_lol:
Am I allowed to stick Union Jack on the Croatian Bike :whistling:
Nothing wrong in that......... :cheesy:

'GTR1400.co.uk' would be fine.. Agree lose the 'W's
I like the layout and the overall idea just dont like the union jack, stick with the flag if everyone else likes it tho!
Final design and going to print.... 3" design. I'm going for 100 on the initial order ( Mr optimistic ? :mfr_lol: )
Paypal gift payment to my email address, which i will give you on a PM then i will forward the remainder to Asif..Please specify quantity and whether you want first or second class.
They will be posted to your registered address on paypal.
I will get Asif to post progress of donations ( i hope )
Sticker = £3.00 to round things up
P & P = £0.70 1st class = £0.60 2nd class --- at cost for upto 15 stickers for UK only. Ask for price outside UK please.

Whilst the forum is GTR1400, the bike is actually a 1400GTR.
If it's a forum for those who are fans, then this will be a home goal...

Certainly don't want to confuse anyone by swopping the letters and numbers around, and as MCN use it that way, thats what people know it as, so kept it simple....
Take it you don't want any ? :popcorn:
Ant he has one of those awesome BMW K1600's, I don't think he will want any. :popcorn:
All the more reason to tart it up.... :mfr_lol: :whistling:
Um, I'm going to be pedantic and go with Winston :whistling:
Other thought I had was maybe a strapline somewhere?
Ant, I wasn't trying to be awkward, I am still a passionate fan of the 1400, I just know what some 'anoraks' can be like.
I can just imagine the adenoid & bespectacled in the funny voice that no-one quite knows, but always uses saying
"I think you'll find it's a 1400GTR, as it's known in Europe or Concours by our, ahem, Atlantic cousins - Not a GTR1400"
Followed by
"Oh, you say you're members of the premier forum for this machine - Mmm, thought you'd have been aware of it's true designation
A little investment now may save embarrassment at a later date.
A strap line would be good too, like Asif stated. Even just a nicked one from Kawasaki, "Let the Goodtimes Roll" or "The Worlds Most Efficient Fly Killer"
I know what your saying !
What I'm annoyed about is that its being noticed now, when I asked for feedback only a few commented. If that wasn't seen by yourselves and had no time to comment, fair enough.
Right, what 'strap line' and where ? QUICKLY.......And everyone chirp up PLEASE. I'll see if I can get it 'politically correct' before artwork is done.
If not and someone said to me "I think you'll find it's a 1400GTR" My response would be "Not on our Forum its not, thats why we're different". Or words to that affect..... :whistling:
We are not selling parts for the bike, or advertising sales for it.....its a forum and the bike can be called what we like. If someone wants to be an "anorak" I say let it rain.
I will do my best to get it changed JUST to keep a few happy..........then have feedback....after Sunday thats it...
I can get them changed as they were just about to do the artwork this afternoon...... so ill change to 1400 GTR and we just need a catch slogan / strap line --- and where it should be, before Monday Morning :popcorn:
1400 GTR
That's my vote as it were as that's what it is.
Alan
I quite like the word Concours or Connie....... :popcorn:

I do agree !
Strapline
'More smiles per mile' or am i being annoying now :hammer:
More along the lines of " Keep up if you can "
Theres plenty Just Here (http://www.bobkatsjaunt.com/motorcycle_quotes.htm) to look through
I'll check back later.
Good news also, the price per label is .67p each + vat = .804....so I will round it off to .90p each to pay for envelope. ( This isn't the selling price ! ) Please see other Topic
Get it right and i'll order 200.
BTW a sticker or 2 will go on each of my bikes as I'm advertising the forum - not the bike.
"Faster Than A Speeding Ticket" is my entry (Yes I know I haven't got one...)
If it were me I would have the strap line in the border at the top and the 'www' around the bottom border
(Oh and Ant - I will have a couple when they're sorted)
It's an incredibly difficult task designing, organising things like a Forum Sticker or even a T-Shirt :mfr_lol:

Don't forget its a Forum slogan, I think I would get laughed at if pulled with that slogan..... :mfr_lol: or I would at least feel stupid.
There are some good ones on that site, and if at least 5 people don't agree on one, I'll pick :shocked:

Kwikasfuki
Like that.. It would fit well... A little rebellious :laugh:
You can buy Kwikasfuki stickers on ebay :yes:
FWIW, I prefer "GTR1400" at least that's what I call it.
As for slogans I like "Not all those who wander are lost" (Tolkien).
Suppose it depens on whether we want the slogan to be about the bike or the people...
How about a play on the silly "[my colour] is the fastest" trope that we see a lot around here?
Brainstorming:
"Putting the super back into super sport touring"
"Munching every Mile in Style"
"Crushing every Continent with Class"
"The Flagship Forum for The Flagship Sport Tourer"
"Every second I'm alive"
"Every ride I'm alive"
"Keeping it shiney side up"
:banana:
The way I see it is that the bike is 1400 GTR
The website is GTR1400 and most people call it GTR 1400
Psychologically, I reckon people will see the 1400GTR and swap it around. That's how this website is found by the majority.
And think off all the stories you could tell people when they say why is the bike called 1400 GTR and the website GTR1400 :smiley:

I'll get some 3 inch ones done later, when they actually abolish the the tax disc.

No slogan at all on these..............
Now going to print with just the change under the Kawasaki to 1400 GTR.
These are actually 3" ( 75mm ) and not 4".

Anyone else want some.........?
These are sold for non profit and the surplus goes to the forum as it costs money to keep it going
