Have you ever lost your bike key?* Ever left your key in the ignition in the parking lot and need a fuckoff-big reminder so your poo poo doesn't get jacked?* Just want some flair so you can be a :c00lbert: motorcycle rider? Do you also have the persistent, irresistible impulse to perform idiocy on your ~SuiCycle~, and need a constant reminder that you are a fragile, delicate human being full of hard objects that turn into sharp hard objects when they break?*

*I have definitely not had any of these things happen to me, nope

Then you should definitely buy a "SELF CONTROL" keytag! Preferably mine. As a matter of fact I'm pretty sure I'm the only one selling them, so you're stuck with this moron.

https://motoloot.com/pages/faq posted:

A: Ever seen a bike with scratches all around the key hole? How many times have you put your gloves on, only to realize your key is in your pocket?
Moto Key Tags are the solution to these problems! Our key tags are made from a 1.18" x 5.11" (3x13cm) piece of durable fabric, embroidered with designs that riders like you will love. This fabric won't scratch up your bike and will give you something to grab onto when fishing in your pocket for your key.

Beach Bum posted:

I want to take a page out of Adiabatic's Book of the Gorester and get one that says "SELF CONTROL".
Coydog asked where SELF CONTROL" came from, so I can only direct you to this thread and the Saga of the Gorester.

While it can be somewhat credibly alleged that I have a serious issue when it comes to the hoarding and hooning of motor vehicles in various states of repair, I only have use for at most ten of these things. However, all the manufacturers and sellers I found have pesky conditions like a minimum order. I needed to buy 50 to get some, so I'm selling the rest to whoever wants 'em. Since the keytags I'm ordering haven't been made yet, I'm grabbing a couple pictures of the keytags MotoLoot.com is currently selling for examples.



I imagine that my keytags will be muchly the same, except they will resemble the above proofs to remind you that you need to stop doing wheelies while filtering or some other such madness.

UPDATE: Chris at MotoLoot.com has sent me a basic proof. As I said, very basic, true to the inspiration.
(click for big)

Let me know if anyone has an issue with the design or wants to cancel their order. Nothing is set in stone yet so if there's suggestions I'll at least read them :)

Edit: My graphics guy did a quick photoshop


(NOT ACTUAL PRODUCT)

Beach Bum posted:

Aight I talked to Chris at MotoLoot.com and it's a minimum order of 50 @ $3.75USD. I'm perfectly willing to sell 'em off to any CA folks at cost+shipping (probably just a stamp on an envelope, so $4.25 each). I'm gonna talk to my graphic design buddy today and get a draft to Chris, but the rough idea is a simple black tag with white text. Anyone else want one?

At this point, I have no idea what the manufacture time is gonna be, I have not yet even determined any additional design parameters and format Chris will need so that I can get that to my graphic design guy, who I am meeting for dinner tonight. I will update in here as this progresses.
As seen above I have gotten a basic proof from Chris. I'm just gonna wait a couple days to make sure everyone who has asked for one is pleased with the design.

PRICING: Tentatively $5.00, shipped Continental USA via first-class letter mail. Additional shipping applies if you're elsewhere (sorry).
The vast majority of you are probably going to want to use Paypal. As such, I'm going to have to raise the price a bit more from what I previously said to cover the Paypal fees. Also, instead of creeping the price up bit by bit as we go along and I find more costs needing to be soaked, I'm just gonna call it $5.00 (Breakdown: $3.75/pc cost, $0.47 postage [I'm HOPING these things weigh less than an ounce so I can just drop 'em in a first-class envelope], $0.45 Paypal fee, leaves $0.33 for beer money). Even if I sell every one of these (50) at the so-called $0.33 profit I'd only make $16.50 so try not to feel too bad about making your minor contribution towards buying a goon a nice steak at the grocery store. If you buy multiples I'll see if I can stuff more in an envelope, but USPS is pretty sticky about their weight restrictions and you might end up get a Harry Potter-esque deluge of envelopes in your mailbox, minus the owls.



So yeah needed to move this discussion from the biek pics thread. Just post here if you want one I guess.

Current orders: 0 remaining, I can't believe I actually sold all these! Thank you to the folks below :toot:

Ill take one too, but you should charge a few more bucks each to make sure you are covered if people back out or if shipping costs are higher. Or just to make a bit more beer money. Id pay 10 bux shipped. If you dont charge me 10 dollars, Ill just send you 10 anyways so deal with it

:shobon:

Yeah but I'd feel hella dickish messing around with the on people when I've already quoted a lower price.

If you want to pay more, feel free to say so and I'll mark it down. All my costs are right there in the open. The one downside of going First Class is going to be no tracking, but the minimum entry for tracking is $6.45 from USPS and fuuuck that, I'll just send you another one or refund your money (or you can pay extra for tracking).

I'm going to be sending 2.50 each, now, since PaintVagrant is going all bourgeoisie. Seriously, though, maybe add a little bit extra for your own work. I'll follow his lead and toss you an extra five on top of my order.

My own work is going to be limited to applying stamps to envelopes stolen requisitioned from the office supply closet and hoping they get to where they're going. Chris is selling his for $8.99 so I mean, eh. This is just an idle thought of mine that's spun wildly out of control :v:

I was misinformed about production; Chris is just finishing up manufacturing, and will be shipping soon.

You're not leaving me hanging, if I couldn't have absorbed the cost of the full run, I wouldn't have bought the run. Selling the 40-odd tags I can't possibly put to use is just a cost-reduction perk and a bit of a feel-good thing providing a nifty custom item. If you're on the list, you're entitled to however many you've "pre-ordered" on your schedule.

I'm more concerned about leaving hanging that big, intimidating list of people up there that want a keytag because I can occasionally be an exceptionally lazy bastard :v:

Both of your tags just shipped today. pun pundit, please let me know if your tag doesn't arrive and I'll send out one of the spares I've kept around. Shouldn't be more than a couple weeks.

As for those asking about tags, unfortunately if you're not on the list the rest of the tags have to come out of my personal stash I kept for inevitable losses (since I am an idiot who loses keys far too often). I'll figure something out for pre-orders expiring if there are folks who don't want them anymore.

If you have paid me money and not got tags, let me know.

Those of you who did get tags; were the envelopes still intact? When I went to the post office to ensure my international tag would get to the recipient, they had some concerns about machine sorting destroying the envelopes (what with the keyring), but if they're holding up fine I'm not worried about it. If the envelopes were mangled in any way I'm going to start separating the tag from the ring and tape the ring to some cardstock to simulate "flat mail".

Hawk GTs are intermediate bikes, not beginner ones. And don't hack them up into track bikes please. They are lovely machines just as is, and especially great with upgraded suspension. Perfectly balanced. Tons of ahead-of-its-time features like the aluminum perimeter frame and the single-sided swingarm. I think Honda should dust off the old shop drawings, make the following changes

- fuel injection
- anti-lock brakes
- cartridge fork
- 10mm wider wheels
- all LED lighting
- my cool vaporwave dashboard v2.0

while keeping everything else exactly the same and put it right back on the market and they'd sell the crap out of them. Perfect bike.

The Supertrapp exhaust does indeed sound fantastic and I love that yours is ejecting the core at an angle just like mine does. Gotta whack it back in with a mallet every few thousand miles.
