how to wind your mate up!

[2kwacks]

went to the french and swiz alps last year with my mate, I was on my zzr1400 and he was on his hayabusa! had this tee shirt hand painted before we went to wind him up! he did try is dam best to rip it off, but like is bike, he was not fast enough ;D

A hand painted T-shirt, how does that work? Is it colour fast? And where can I get one from?  8)

had this done on holiday, they hand draw the image from a photo, then hand colour the image with any back ground you want, they are also fully washable, but you must iron them in-side out, am  not sure if they do then over here thou, just google it!

This is exactly what frustrates me....you go on holiday and you can have a t-shirt created like this which is bloody brilliant and then like me a few weeks ago I went to a local screen printer to see if they would make me a few shirts up using my own images and all they harped on about was copyright, and that they wouldn't be able to put the words Kawasaki GTR 1400 on it anywhere because they would be sued by Kawasaki for breach of copyright. Thats before I even get going about how much they wanted for each shirt.....

To be able to draw that bike from a photo and then create that end result I think is fantastic, I just wish I had such artistic talent!

But, but, that's a good thing isn't it? You'd have felt silly with 'GTR 14000' on your t-shirt because it's a 1400GTR... :)

I never know what it is....GTR 1400, 1400 GTR C14, Concours 14, its all so confusing.... :-\

It's none of those.
It's a ZG1400??? depending on which model/year you have.

Mine is called Vivian

It says '1400GTR' on the side and that's good enough for me!

well this guy did not know is true tallent really! had it done in mexico, this guy was by the pool under a brolly painting faces on tee shirts for the kids, he would take there photo, then draw the image. then he coloured the image in with paint designed for cloth!.  then used a hot air dryer to dry the paint. every one he done was briilant, even the eyebrows stood out! I happen to have bought a bike mag from the airport on the way out, which happend to have a pic of the df8 zzr1400 in silver exactly the same model as mine, even had the 380mm shorter exhaust cans on. so asked him if he could draw the bike then colour it in the same as the picture. he said no problem, but because of the detail it would take 2 days to complete. he said he would do it for $40.00 but he done such a good job and he also put the hayabusa destroyer on the back, so gave him $50.00 and a tap on the back! he did ask what a hayabusa was? I told him, its a zzr1400 wann-a-be! which just confused him even more, but he was happy with $50.00 and I was happy knowing my mate would blow his top.

Nice story there 2kwacks. I dont know what 50 Mexican dollars is in proper money but it sounds very cheap.

I'm a biker so that's an oxymoron. We are all weird.  ;D
There are those who claim to not be weird but that is weird all by itself.
