posted this to rec.moto y'day:


remember a few years ago i called for interests for a "know fear" t-shirt?
i couldnt complete that project since i had to go back home (to india)
urgently and never got around to it, when i returned. well, i talked to a
few places that print shirts and i have decided to revive the idea. i will
post an image of the t-shirt as soon as i have one ready, but here's the
idea:

front shows some kind of bike/biking: a biker leaned over or something?
with the big caption: KNOW FEAR!

and the more rounded geeky in colour on the back. i prefer to do a print
on black. any interest in white background?

joe krause suggested something that he had overheard at summit point:
"If you arent afraid you arent going fast enough". do you think that
would make a good add-on to the front, lower and in smaller print?

the second tshirt idea was one showing the usual traffic sign for curves
with the caption:

"have you hugged a curve today?"

and geeky in the back.

here's the list of folks who showed interest last time around:

catness			catness@netcom.com		both
Butch Dunlap		dunlapb@peak.org		hugged a curve
Christopher Hill	jchill@gueuze.dgsys.com		know fear
David Braun		Flash@Deathstar.com		know fear
Luc Marcouiller		marcouil@ireq.hydro.qc.ca	hugged a curve
Jae D. Roh		jdroh@icd.teradyne.com		hugged a curve
Mike Frachel		MJF3935@ritvax.isc.rit.edu	both
Juliana L Holm		jholm@osf1.gmu.edu		both
Judy Anderson		yduJ@cs.stanford.edu		hugged a curve
Douglass L. Pinckney	dougp@gti.net			both
Adam Hebblewhite	adam@sulaco.demon.co.uk		both
Steve Moonitz		stevem@ew.timeinc.com		hugged a curve
Val Gregory		vgregory@hudson.den.mmc.com	both
Debbie Matyi		matyi@tfn.com			both
Paul D Thompson		iguana@aging.coa.uky.edu	both
Charles Willson		cwillson@lava.net		know fear
Joseph Edward Krause	jek3e@maxwell.acc.virginia.edu	???

i would need reconfirmation from all you folks, since you might've changed
your minds since two years ago! also thats hardly enough interest to print
shirts. if i dont get a minimum of 50 orders (some of the people above
asked for two t-shirts, so thats really not impossible), i will proceed
with the idea.

if you are interested in either of these t-shirt ideas, please send me
e-mail with your preference: which one (or both) would you like? how many?
do you prefer a black or white background? what do you think of the "if
you arent afraid you arent going fast enough" idea? it sounds funny, but
it might remove the irony of the "know fear"!

send me e-mail if you are interested: rn@research.att.com. followups
posted to the newsgroup will not be counted as a response (since i cannot
follow the newsgroup all the time).

small print: needless to say, this offer is open to everybody and his dog.
you dont need to be a denizen of doom or anything else (not even a biker,
so charlie smith is eligible too ;-)). profits (and there will be profits
since i will overprice the shirts a bit) will go to the amha (american
motorcycle heritage museum). feel free to redistribute this message to
motorcycle mailing lists and your friends. as far as i know and i have
checked both t-shirt ideas are original as of two years ago, when i/we
came up with them.
