TCVR Shop towels

[sstodvictory]

Think we'd sell 100 of these? Minimum order is 100 towels at $1.15 each, including a one-time silkscreen setup fee. All cotton, 13"x16" with lots of color choices. Everyone needs a few shop towels in their MC travel kit.

I'd be good for at about 10 and I'd be willing to check into it.

what the heck if it says victory on it I'll buy it :crazy: put me down for ten ah it is gonna be a kyso blue vic on there right?:p

[Sparky_Bill]

I'd do 6 of those.

[mrhawkv92c]

I would like 10 of them but Amy says they need to be in Anteres Red for the >>>>>FAST clean !!!


Jim

[sks700]

What the hay. 10 is a nice round number.

Lee

[sid2002]

I'll take ten also. Sid

[Chris 2]

:cool: ah but everyone knows,KYSO BLUE is faster;) ;)

[framy]

Ten sounds like a good number, need white so I can see if their dirty! Jim

[Mellemel]

I'll take 10:cool:

[Mellemel]

whoops that was supposed to be thumbs up:eek:

[sstodvictory]

That's almost a minimum order already. I'll probably order 200 and get a small price break. I'll Email them the logo below, which tuba has entitled "Finalized TCVR T-Shirt Design", and see what they say about it. They'd probably make a line drawing, and we'd choose the towel color and the ink color. I'm thinking it should be something light but not white, perhaps black ink on light tan.

I'll post again when I know more......

Here's an extra thought. Besides towels for ourselves, what if we also print the TCVR URL on the towel, then we collect some money and buy some extras to distribute to area dealers, asking them to include a towel with each purchase of a new or used Victory? How many different MN dealers do we all frequent?

[sks700]

Great idea Steve, I'd kick in a few extra $ for that.

Lee

[ghost]

Put me down for ten.

Pete

[Chris 2]

sounds good to me besides my ten I'll pop for another 5 for dealers, my dealer of choice is warners!:p which reminds me I wonder if the blue beast will be done today?

[graemike]

Black on tan sounds good.
Put me down for 10

I've converted the TCVR logo to black & white. I couldn't figure out how to preserve the globe backdrop behind the V due to the way colors are blended in the original, but it doesn't look too bad without it.

I've sent my version and the color original to the towel guy. He's going to see if he can make one with the globe, and then I'll post the choices. Here's my version:

Looks to me that they can do Grey Scale from their samples.

Here is another version of a Black and White if they can not do Grey Scale.

[Doug G]

Yes I too will have "10" of them there shop towels, I will have to keep that new VEGAS spotless.

[framy]

Just a thought! If we are going to distribute these towls to dealers to be given with a new bike, then we should have our email address on there to make it easier for the new people to find us!

[sks700]

Excellent idea Jim.

Lee

[Butch]

:gunrev: i'd like 10 also just give me the facts and i'll pony up the dough,speaking of ponies,friday nite i made a bet at Canterbury on a horse that paid me 9.00 on a 2.00 bet,her name-miss Victory.

[sstodvictory]

Here's the version that's ready to print, not as sharp as the original, but its a rag, after all. The logo will be about 4 3/8 inches across. The TCVR URL will be lettered in below the logo. I'll post the final price when I know it.

I am now thinking Ivory for the cloth color and brown for ink. Ivory is the third color up from the bottom right in the color palette.

I may have them for sale at the Caterpillar Run if I place the order now. That would save on postage.

Here's the towel count so far. I'll place an order for 300 and see if I can get some different color combos. This isn't as good a showing as I expected for the dealer towels, but I know we'll move them once they're available. The towels will have the TCVR URL on them.

[Kit]

Steve, please hook me up with a dozen plus 8 for the dealer. I know the quantity sounds odd, but the total keeps your math simple (I hope).

Kit

[perksdlx2001]

I will do ten also and five for the dealers. I can keep some on the boat and some on the bike.

[CruiserConnie]

Put me down for 20 (10 or so for me and 10 or so for dealers).

Steve

[Swiffer]

[CruiserConnie]

Steve - Thanks for the quick delivery of the shop towels. I sent a check before I went on vacation and they were waiting for me when I got back. Haven't tried them yet, but they look great. Nice job.

Connie

P.S. Randy and I went on a two-week vacation to Bay Lake outside of Brainerd. We managed to (except for one rain-filled day) ride our bikes and use the boat EVERY DAY FOR TWO WEEKS. It was a great vacation. Next year we're leaving the boat at home and heading for Glacier Nat'l Park, Banff and Lake Louise on the bikes. I'm already excited!
