Caged KBers - would you display this sticker?

[90s]

I was thinking about xerxesdaphats mishap in mistaking caged friendly KBers for the fuzz, and it reminded me of recent threads in which KBers lanesplitting wondered if 'good' cages moving over etc were driven by caged kiwibikers.

So I wondered how many of you would put this sticker on your cage to indicate your TRUE nature. You could then join in the kiwibiker wave and head nodding fun with your biker pals.

And of course it would help create a bitchfest on here about KBers who "should know better" when cutting up bikes, even though it is likely to be the KBers missues/clueless husband/teenage spod in the car. What fun!

So obviously I am no photoshop wizz, but if some expert on here could create a decent round sticker cutout along the concept would there be any takers?

I'd buy and display one!

[xwhatsit]

Hehehe! That would save hair-trigger paranoid police runners like me a bit of hassle.

I like it a lot. More room on cages for stickers, too; took me ages to work out where to stick my KB sticker on my bike until I gave up and stuck it on my helmet.

[jrandom]

Logo needs a bit more work, but yes.

I'd want it to just say 'Caged Biker'.

And be nice and big.

:niceone:

[Drew]

"Caged biker" yes, "caged KBer", no. I dont like advertising that I'm geek enough to trawl this place to poke fun.

[Sully60]

"Caged biker" yes, "caged KBer", no. I dont like advertising that I'm geek enough to trawl this place to poke fun.

So "Caged Geek" would be no good either?

[Drew]

So "Caged Geek" would be no good either?

Not really, since that would atract the attention of bigger geeks, and stalking might ensue.

[Sully60]

Not really, since that would atract the attention of bigger geeks, and stalking might ensue.

Yeah those bigger geeks can be a bit scary, though I don't think I've even been stalked by one. (not counting myself of course)


Anyway whats wrong with the puttingt KB sticker on your car, Isn't it obvious that you're a caged biker if you put the sticker on it?:confused:

[325rocket]

id be in for one

[Jorja]

I would display one

Since learning to ride and joining I must say my awareness of motorcyclists when riding has increased tremendously. Before I wasn't even aware if one passed except to point the bike out to the kids.

Honest opinion time, I used to tell other bikers about this place, but since things got a bit too PC, and whingy, and I stopped taking it even remotely seriously, it is almost a source of embarasment. To think that I would be lumped in with the emos, activists, and general hypocracy is more than my ego could endure.

[HDTboy]

My car rear window is covered in motorcycle race part stickers. Does that count?

[90s]

Maybe I could design you a "NOT affiliated with those whiny EMO KBers" sticker.

My fees are very reasonable ...

[jrandom]

I'm with Drew on this.

Any KBer will recognise the logo; it's not necessary to spell it out.

And 'Caged Biker' is just generally something I'd put on my car.

Print the stickers up, and the orders will come.

:yes:

[darkwolf]

I'd need the opposite, as I'm more a "cager" than a biker - 'specially since I don't have a bike yet. :)

[90s]

Print the stickers up, and the orders will come.

:yes:

Anyone want to do this? I've no objections and may even place an order :2thumbsup

[325rocket]

i know a person that can make them if needed.

[yod]

i dont have a car :nya: only two bikes :nya::nya:

i wonder if the boss would mind if I adorned the company cage.... :laugh:

So you need a sticker that clearly distinguishes you from the Hypocritical, Whiny, PC emo activists…..

[NighthawkNZ]

Logo needs a bit more work, but yes.

I'd want it to just say 'Caged Biker'.


Give me a vector verson of the logo and I'll design it if wanted... or a ultra high defination JPG...

But it would have to be cleared by SpankMe before it goes to print...

[BevanPT]

I'd happily stick "Caged Biker" on my car - when it comes back from the panelbeaters.

[avgas]

How about big taxi like magnets......i'd be keen

[007XX]

Yep, I'd have one...:yes:

Although a couple of KBers have already recognised my car from my perso number plate :whistle:

[deanohit]

Yep, I'd put one on my Vitara.

Quite a cool idea really.

[NighthawkNZ]

Bit of a rework... and tidy up

[Qkchk]

I would purchase a couple..........

Could of done with one on my work truck cause none of you hopeless buggers wave back :mad:

[Swoop]

I'd like to see ACC put out some "Look twice for bikes!" stickers.

[90s]

Bit of a rework... and tidy up

NIce work Nighthawk. If someone want to actually make the stickers that would be cool.
I would favour a round sticker rather than a square - any thoughts?

The concensus seemed to be against KBer and just for 'Biker' - the logo being recognisable to the KBers anyway. Go with that?

[Edbear]

You guys aren't talking about this sort of thing...?

as stated you will need to get clearance from spankme

[inlinefour]

Yep, looks like a good idea.

[Matt_TG]

I'll buy one or two, seeing as I spend all day in the car during the week, pulling over and ogling other bikes.

[90s]

You guys aren't talking about this sort of thing...?

Yes, as in sort of but different.
Where's the added value? The market will decide. Just a car specific version I suppose.

[90s]

as stated you will need to get learance from spankme

I wouldn't mind some leerance from SpankMe - or from anyone.

But as stated I'm not producing these. If anyone wanted to then they would have to get clearance. What we are putting up here are concepts. The "go with that" refers only to a prototyping exercise. Any actual production would have to go an OK this with the originator of that great logo.
Having said that I know KB is rife with pirates - FACT!

[Deviant Esq]

Going to agree with jrandom and Drew... I'd stick one on that said Caged Biker rather than Caged KBer. Could in fact modify the standard KB sticker - add the text Caged Biker above the logo, with the website URL still below the emblem. Or replace the URL with the Caged Biker text...

[Bullitt]

Caged Biker sounds good. not so sure on caged KBer.

Perhaps a poll?

[klingon]

Caged Biker sounds good. not so sure on caged KBer.

I would go with caged biker. It's only after you've been here that you even know what "caged KBer" means. If one of the purposes is to bring new people to the site, then "Caged Biker" makes a lot more sense.

I'd buy one :)

[gijoe1313]

:drool: Whizzo idea chaps!

Now I guess I better get a rego and WOF for my cage that has sprouted cobwebs, grass through the wheel wells, the side bumper panelling coming off... :o

Caged Biker is a spiffing idea!

[Oakie]

'Caged Biker', I'd be in for one.

[chanceyy]

Yup caged biker works .. I would be in .. :niceone:

[Krusti]

You guys aren't talking about this sort of thing...?

Yeah, what's wrong with our present KB stickers. Our vehicles have them on back screen so as to be visible during overtaking.

:2thumbsup

[NighthawkNZ]

Caged Biker

[90s]

Friendly Mod - could you pls set up a dual poll for me?

1 - I would display a "caged biker" sticker on my cage
2 - I would display a "caged KBer" sticker on my cage
3 - I would display a "caged kiwibiker" sticker on my cage
4 - I'd rather die than display any of these
5 - I'd rather die than drive a cage

1 - 90s' concept is the way to go
2 - Nighthawk's concept - white circle is the way to go
3- Nighthawk's b/w concept is the way to go
4 - back to the drawing board all of you!

I vote for me (yeah!) and caged biker

[90s]

Caged Biker

Wow, still working away eh as I am typing!
So, the stakes are raised.

I change my plea to - Nighthawk's yellow sticker.

But now I am going home. 'Night all.

And add, Why bother, stick with the one we have already....:cool:

[Rockbuddy]

I would definatly buy 3 or 4 "caged biker" stickers"

[Drew]

And add, Why bother, stick with the one we have already....:cool:

Did ya read the whole thread?

[Krusti]

Actually...........I did, but maybe I'm just dumb and simple :clap:

[homer]

Bit of a rework... and tidy up

really cool and the bright yellow would be visable ,:Punk:id get a couple

[Drew]

Actually...........I did, but maybe I'm just dumb and simple :clap:

Not my point, trying to impress that some of us would prefer "caged biker", rather than KBer.

[Krusti]

Not my point, trying to impress that some of us would prefer "caged biker", rather than KBer.


Yeah all good if that's what folks want. I just like keeping things simple. And.....my way of thinking is that if I have a KB sticker on the back of my cage then it follows that I am a caged biker.

Truth be told I don't really care but those are my thoughts.

:apint:

[NighthawkNZ]

I don't drive... or own car or even have a cage licence... :innocent:

[mynameis]

NO MAN ! Bikers scare me when I am in my cage, seriously aye. Especially when they lane split. :crazy:

[ManDownUnder]

Logo needs a bit more work, but yes.

I'd want it to just say 'Caged Biker'.

And be nice and big.

[James Deuce]

God, imagine the mouth breathers you'd attract with that!

[Kittyhawk]

What does the label look like with a thinner circle? The first thing that came to mind was the circle is the feature..is that the intended effect?

What about "Caged" and "biker" in the same colour format as "Kiwi" and "biker"

It needs approval....Wonder what the Master thinks?? :)

Have you looked at the various designs throughout the thread?

[90s]

http://www.bikerfriend.org/

Already been done.

A sticker that says in txt "biker friendly" is about the same as if John Britten had said "Oh someone has already made a 50cc moped ... why bother with another motorbike - they're all the same".

Now that "bike friendly" sticker is crap-ugly. And the purpose is a little different to this one's (whatever it is). But if thousands of people have bought it then this should sell about 1.9 million copies.

[judecatmad]

I like it! Would need to be a non-adhesive 'inside the back window' sort of thing tho cos I'd rather not stick sticky stuff on the outside of the car.

[LilSel]

I like the idea... I'd put one on my car! :niceone:

[Oakie]

Yeah, that re-worked yellow one with the 'caged bike'r on the top and www.kb at the bottom is the one!

As an aside, it occured to me earlier that I'm 47 and never owned a car in my own right. I've co-owned a few with Mrs Oakie but never had one in just my own name.

[Pixie]

So "Caged Geek" would be no good either?

Caged monkey?

[Baracus]

I like it!

I'd get one for sure.

[klingon]

I like it! Would need to be a non-adhesive 'inside the back window' sort of thing tho cos I'd rather not stick sticky stuff on the outside of the car.

Hmmm... interesting thought... would the sticker need to be sticky on the back so it would go on the outside of the car or sticky on the front so it would go on the inside of the window?

I would personally choose sticky on the back because then you could put it on the bumper, window or anywhere. Personally I don't put stickers on the inside of my back window because when I eventually removed it, I would risk damaging the rear window demister. But that's just me.

OK, now we need another poll! :eek:

Not sticky at all - just that clingy clear film type stuff they use for stickers destined for the insides of windows. No idea how they make those stickers stick, but they come off totally clean cos there's no adhesive involved.

(wow, that really makes it sound like I have a great grip on the physics of the world around me, doesn't it?! :rofl:)

[James Deuce]

You'd think klingon would know all about it!

[Sanx]

I hope I'm not stealing anyone's thunder, but here's another possible design. The KB logo is a little blurred, as I don't have a high quality one to work from.

[hang0ver]

Definitely.

TRAILOR PARK BOYS

IF YOU HAVENT WATCHED A SERIES (10+ EPISODES) YOU DONT DESERVE THE STICKER, THIS OWNS RENO 911

[Badjelly]

I'm not too keen on the whole "cager" thing myself. Too many labels, too much emphasis on group identity.

[James Deuce]

IF YOU HAVENT WATCHED A SERIES (10+ EPISODES) YOU DONT DESERVE THE STICKER, THIS OWNS RENO 911

It is absolutely freaking hilarious. I sometimes shoot peas out of my nose when I watch that show, even when I didn't have peas for tea.

[Tank]

IF YOU HAVENT WATCHED A SERIES (10+ EPISODES) YOU DONT DESERVE THE STICKER, THIS OWNS RENO 911

OK - this is wrong for a number of reasons - but I hope that this will help.

1. Don't type in caps - its called yelling AND IS REALLY FUCKEN ANNOYING as well as being hard to read.

2. Its a TV show - you don't actually have to do anything to "deserve" or earn the right for a bumper sticker. There is no test. The 10+ episode threshold is an urban myth made up by geeks who argue "who was the best captain ever?"

3. Trailerparkboys is owned by Topsail productions - Reno 911 is Comedy Central - so its impossible tor TPBs to own Reno 911 :bleh:

Individual biker in a car. Simple description. Where's the group?

[Cache Wraith]

I'll have a couple thank you very much.

[James Deuce]

i like you jim

i know where you live

The lawns are good. She does a great job! :2thumbsup

[unhingedlizard]

I'll have one too please.

[marioc]

yep I would grab one for sure

[Renegade]

yip id take couple for sure!!!

[Scorpygirl]

Great idea peeps! :clap: The Ulysses in Australia have a sticker that says "Biker Aware Driver" which I think is really cool.

[Toaster]

You guys aren't talking about this sort of thing...?

Yep, I also put the standard KB stickers on all my vehicles.

[James Deuce]

Great idea peeps! :clap: The Ulysses in Australia have a sticker that says "Biker Aware Driver" which I think is really cool.

"Ulysses" and "cool" in the same sentence. Yeah right.

[Renegade]

:Oi: any progress on this great idea??

[jafar]

Yep, I also put the standard KB stickers on all my vehicles.

So do I . But the wife drives the cage :devil2:

[Swampdonkey]

Im in.....be good to give,or get a wave as you pass by.

[KATWYN]

Yep, I like. I would order a couple.

[Dooly]

I'd be in for a few.

[Dodger]

I like. :)
I wonder if I could get one onto the car without the wife seeing it :shifty:

[Toaster]

So do I . But the wife drives the cage :devil2:

Hmmmm yes I can see the problem there.............

[carver]

please-kb is gay enough as it is, whats next, a KB car division?

[MVnut]

In a word..........NO

[Brett]

I would definitely stick one on my work cage!

[DougB]

Many of us want one.

How do we get approval, find a maker, get them on sale and make their availability known?

Lets not let such a good idea die.

[Gubb]

please-kb is gay enough as it is, whats next, a KB car division?

A mormon stunt crew?

That's faggoriffic.

[idleidolidyll]

nope, not with free advertising for KB on it.

make it a much more general bike sticker and i'd probably be tempted

[Oakie]

And what on earth is wrong with a bit of free advertising for the site on which this idea was born? C'mon ... feel the love....

[Racey Rider]

When i first saw your proposed sticker with the bars, my first impression was ...

it meant, All Bikers should be in Jail!

Is that what we want to convey to the other car drivers around us that glance at it?

[Oakie]

Valid point. The sticker is meant to convey a message to other bikers though ... not car drivers.

[homer]

yes cool
Have seen this thread before .........so how do i get one

with word use like that you could join

if your fast enough

hang on, you ride a hyosung..

[ElCoyote]

I would have a couple.....great idea:yes:

[Sharry]

I would put one my big green cage. Would be nice to let a KBer behind me know it is safe to be behind me. It would also let them know why I am drooling over them (the bike that is).

[Oakie]

I would put one my big green cage. Would be nice to let a KBer behind me know it is safe to be behind me. It would also let them know why I am drooling over them (the bike that is).

My sentiments exactly ... although our cage is small and sky blue.

[toycollector10]

Selling bumper stickers on the net that read "Biker Friendly", seemed like a good idea to me. Just add the KB logo. It achieves little except that hopefully when he as the sticker he will:

A) Indicate before changing lanes,
B) Not run red lights,
C) Let you in,
D) Be aware that you are behind him,
E) Not try to run you off the road in a mindless road-rage fury,
F) Give way to you when required,
G) Move to the left to let you and your mates through on the twisties,
H) Not tailgate you,
I) Not undertake you in a merging traffic lane...(The F*%^#g C*n+s)
J) Not pull a u-turn in front of you, and if he does he will indicate so that you have a 50-50 chance of avoiding him,.
K) Will have his headlights on in low visibility conditions, i.e. dusk, rain, mist...,
L) Won't flick his cigarette butt out the window at you.

Any more??
