Lets get 'patched up' Who has the gear, or a good mate with a vinyl printer so we can get the BFTP thingie into a sticker for the bike? I would pay at least $5 for one, maybe more if you put it on trademe and I get caught in a bidding war with croc.. Not too big a sticker mind you, I have to be concerned with excess weight, how about the circle is about 60mm dia? Anyone able to do that? I will need 3... for now....
don't know anyone with such a printer... but, what a good idea!
Yeah!!, I was thinking the same thing...
Damn fine Idea I had been thinking along the same lines (but for my cute lil avatar to go on my helmet). Would everyone buy one of those as well? It merits further investigation.
Just had a look on line. Magnets.co.nz list a price of $175 for 250 of 60x60 sq vinyl stickers. Have to sell 35 @ $5 each to cover the cost. I think I know someone who works there so will see if we can do a smaller order, and round rather than square.. and I'll check out their 60mm dia circular fridge magnet prices as then they don't have to be fixed to steel tanks/guards with adhesive. They appear to do 60mm dia fridge magnets but want $300 for 500 of them. Easier to just buy (or borrow) a handful of someone else's and put your own sticker over them.
Also got inquiry in with Gumtree
a magnet sticker...hm... not a bad idea i guess, i mean noone would be tempted to steal a bftp sticker of a bike now, would they, lol ???
i'm sure our napier friends would be delighted to sign up for the stickers as well
Thanks croc, see how you go 250 is waay too many, unless Voli wants one for every bike and moped he has. As for the magnets, I could attach them to many places on my person but my bikes only have metal tanks and plastic everything else...
i would get a few.....one each for the bikes(2) and cars(6)....boat (1)...ok..maybe not the boat.........i would like a sticker on the car so that any other bikers would know i am one too....assuming it becomes so famous everyone knows what it is....
i recon we're not too far away from the day the kids are going to make it a game to search the city looking for cars or bikes with a rare and famous bftp sticker, to pinch the sticker as a trophy to show their mates and keep in a secret locked box underneath the bed, lol
Yeah, my old car club stickers are in big demand since being disbanded, still have one on my ute. Can't remember where we got them done, think it was some place that did t-shirts in the mall. Westie Road Markers R.I.P.
Good News The bloke I know has done us a hell deal "Hi Colin, the price for 150 x 60mm circle stickers and 30 x 60mm magnetic sheet circles is $68.00 This is a heavily discounted price and will be subject to GST. Regards Justin" That works out to about 40 cents each. I'm gonna want 10 stickers and 3 magnets. By the sound of it that may not be so far away from the average. I reckon we double the order to 300 & 60 (approx 9 stickers and and 2 magnets per person based on current membership count). Then set the price at $2 per sticker and $2 per magnet (a tad more than 200% profit) which would see the cost being covered by 32 of us buying 2.5 each. This makes it a breeze to fund and that way they wont all get snapped up by a needy/greedy few ???? The profits can go toward the BFTP slush fund which Caseye &/or Psyguy can look after.
sounds good to me
wow, getting serious, well done croc! should we perhaps have some contact details on the stickers, like KB website, and maybe btfp in full words so people who see the stickers can understand the meaning and get in touch if they like? something like: blast from the past riders club - to join: www.kiwibiker.co.nz maybe a small print on the outside of the "speedo"? or would that spoil the logo?
