      My process is similar, but I'm actually applying high heat and heavy, even pressure using a press, to a special vinyl to fuse it onto the fabric.
      I have to cut a white triangle, with the words cut out of it (one reason for the black shirt)...press that onto the shirt, and then cut the red part, with the ACC in the corners, and then fuse that on top of the white bit. It's quite time consuming BUT very effective and lasts 'for ever'.
      Anyone seen the Bitches shirts? Same process.
      Far superior process for sure, nothing beats a good hot press

      Oh come on! Be nice to the guy! Pleeeeeeease!

      If we are getting mean again, he is not allowed by his mum to play with us. And he will throw his toys. And guess who is paying for the clean up and repair bill. That'll be the whole non fault but bikers pay again thing.

      So behave!

      Just an idea how about if we all buy 5xl t shirts that'll fit over the top of ur normal bike gear then you can wear them and ride so they can be seen

      T-shirt on its way. I'm looking forward to seeing it after its transformation from mild-mannered menswear to activist apparel!

      The thread has had 849 veiws to date, so at the very least, that many know about it on here.

      Is that 849 unique users having viewed it, or 849 page impressions? I must have looked at it a dozen times by now, f'rinstance, so multiple counts per user would drop the audience number down (if you know what I mean... not sure I do actually

      Mind you you'll probably be right. I wonder how many bikes it'll take to gridlock the Mobil on Oteha Valley Road for starters!

      I have always thought that once you have viewed a thread its counted as such (ie: just the one)
      Doesn't matter how many time each individual member looks.
      Test the theory, but im sure thats how it works.
      Even if we get 10% of that number first up, it will be a great start.

      The site only refreshes every few mins. Each time you look at the thread the view count will go up by one. Call me Virago He is answering site questions really well today.

      Hey and you guys, this ride has gone out to all BRONZ members out of Auckland. I have just had a call from someone wanting to clarify the times.


      SO, assemble at leaving points at 10am for a 10:30am departure to the domain.

      Bodir, that is one more for your west ride confirmed
