"Hope to pick the shirt up in person on Saturday so E B R gets the entire amount for tires and not to cover my tshirt shipping fee"

Is shipping not extra? I kinda assumed it was. You can stuff a shirt in an envelope, shouldn't be much more than a few bucks.

I still have to list you Toona. Thanks for posting. Anyone else who doesn't need shipping should post on here also, so I can get a count, sizes, etc. Just note where you will pick the shirt up from.





Be careful with those PBC's too Dan, I hear they can be a choking hazard

PayPal sent to Court with sizes. PM also sent to Vamps with sizing and other info. My plan is to pick up one XL and one Small t-shirt at Mid-Ohio on Friday (or Saturday), so I DON'T need shipping, even though I provided address and contact info.

I THINK I've sent info via PayPal, PMs and postings everywhere I could!

See you folks at Mid-Ohio!

DAILY UPDATE:

You guys and gals are kicking butt . . . as of 1815 hours . . . . (6:15pm for those of you living in Rio Linda) we're at:




Amazing.

Stuff you need to know . . .

NUMBER ONE - WHAT THE SHIRT LOOKS LIKE: The shirt is iHEATHER INDIGO and will have Charcoal graphics.

The BACK will be identical to the Homecoming 201 shirts with ERIK BUELL RACING and the Pegasus logo large enough to be read at a distance. This will maintain a clarity and consistency. I suspect ERIK BUELL RACING shirt are going to start drawing some attention . . . we, as the rabid owner . . want to be communicating a clear message.

The FRONT will simply say:

"Pegasus . . . wo der Hammer hängt"


Loosely translated (as confirmed by our friend Jens) "PEGASUS . . . where the Hammer hangs".

Simple, cryptic and perfectly capable of helping those special folks who helped get Geoff, Erik and The Elves to the track to carry a message.

NUMBER TWO - WHY THE SHIRT SAYS THAT?

We owe thanks to our German Brothers and Sisters who have spent most the season putting Erik Buell Racing 1190R's on the podium.

The gist of this phrase basic was a sort of in your face . . . ."even with the deep pockets and resources taken away Buell, driven my passion, has gone on to experience more racing success in it's first year than it has under Harley-Davidson or than Harley-Davidson has in decades.

I intentionally omitted the "showing HD" from the lingo . . . . after all . . . we're not vindictive folks. Our mission is but to showcase what Buell and Buell Owners can do.

NUMBER THREE - YOU ARE HEREBY CONSCRIPTED AS AGENTS IN THE ERIK BUELL RACING INSURGENCY

That's right . . . . even without the DB7 or the dart that fires from the wrist watch . . . you Elves (face it . . you're committed enough at this point after that record breaking Homecoming to being dubbed ELVES) are going to take these shirts and infiltrate tracks, sport bike venues, motorcycle shops and about anywhere you can find an audience.

Here's how it works . . if the shirt said "tire sponsor" . . . no one would give you a second glance. But . . again thanks to the Germans. . . with the phrase "PEGASUS . . . where the Hammer hangs" . . you are going to get stopped by nearly EVERYONE asking "what the hell does that mean?" . . . . . this, my fellow Elves, is your opening to deliver your "we're more vibrant than ever" message.

NUMBER FOUR - THIS REQUIRES SOME WORK & STUDY ON YOUR PART

Being an UEA (Undercover Elf Agent) is not easy work. Some of you, the ones attending Laguna Seca, have a bit of time . . those of you attending MID-OHIO . . ned to get to work.

You need to get up on the following:

  • ERIK BUELL RACING is currently comprised of about 12 folks in a 14,000 SF warehouse dedicated to designing, building and supporting Erik Buell Racing motorcycles.
  • You need to get familiar with the 3 models Erik Buell Racing is currently producing and offering for sale.
  • You need to know that the first two commercial sales of 1190RR-B model motorcycles went to Germany.
  • You need to be fluent in the details and racing success of PEGASUS RACE TEAM . . the team campaigning the Buells.
  • Studying up a bit on Geoff May . . . he's not your average
  • boy racer". Geoff's 30 years old, a seasoned and respected racer. Geoff has had a great career, most recently last year on a Suzuki. In addition to his racing talent, Geoff is a talents Developmental Test Rider and is actively involved in developing and improving Erikl Buell Racing products.
  • You are authorized to help dispel the silly rumors that Erik Buell is somehow constrained by all sorts of mysterious legal agreements. He's not and the recent interview confirms his intent to introduce commercial street legal motorcycles.
  • Read up on Shawn Higbee. Shawn, also a talented development rider, took on the factory KTM and the new BMW a couple weeks at Willow and . . . well . . if a KTM were an animal it'd have left with it's take between it's legs . . finishing no where even close to Shawn. Slaughter can chime in with some details.


You get the idea . . . . the shirt is not an advertisement . . . it's a strategy. YOU . . each of you . . . basically insured that Buell not only went to Mid-Ohio but to Laguna Seca . . . you need to be ready, the moment you get the "what the hell does that mean?" . . . to carpe the ol' Buell diem and go to work.

In the event you are captured . . . the Secretary will disavow any knowledge of your mission.

: )

Okay . . . last thing and VERY IMPORTANT.

Time is quite literally of the essence . . . by about the end of the day tomorrow . . I'm going to have to let the shirt folks know how many get shipped to folks and how many get sent to the race track.

Some of you have included on your Paypal payment words to the effect that you'll pick up your shirt at the track. MAKE SURE YOU TOLD VAMPRESS THIS. She's maintaining the master "now that we've sold them . . .how do we get them out" list and will be sending to me.

TRACK VOLUNTEERS: Several of you have written indicating that you'd be willing to help sell shirts at the track. I'd ask that you resend your e-mail with "TRACK VOLUNTEER: MID-OHIO" or "TRACK VOLUNTEER: LAGUNA SECA" in the subject. Between paypal notices and e-mails my stuff is getting buried. I'm going to try to make arrangements with the Buell team so we can set up somewhere near their pits.

Finally . . . for those of you who have stepped up to help . . . we are in the process of trying to arrange another bonus. I've dispatched Dave Gess on a mission and we hope to make an announcement soon.

And . . . . . once again . . . THANK YOU. You probably don't have an appreciation for how much your efforts are appreciated and what a difference they have made . . . A racing effort fueled in part by the grass roots efforts of owners is awesome . . now get over to face book . . . . your other Buell groups and see if you can recruit . . we're half way to our goal.

All the best,
Court

I think a subtle, artistically-interpreted bar and shield under a pegasus hoof (is that an inkblot? or an HD logo? I can't tell....) would be worth it's weight in gold : )

Most excellent! Me and my 9 year old are going to Mid Ohio sunday, and we will be representing with the Shirts. I'll make Jack study first, so he can explain the bikes to people.

Keep it positive folks... this is about Buell being free to finally achieve a pure vision of what they want to build. Don't waste time slamming Harley Davidson, the facts are out there and history will be the judge. If Erik Buell Racing goes on to produce championship winning bikes that lead to runaway success in street bikes, the historians will have oh-so-much easier a time sorting out the facts. ; )

Tell the story of the bikes, and the people, and the future.

(Now I'm off to go memorize the Buell values...)

Froggy, this from Court one page back, contains most of the how to pay detail:

Just bringing this back on the page . . . .

From that earlier post:

quote:
>>>>Is there any possibility for the fund to accept cash donations or will it only be T-Shirts?

Yes.

Soon there will be a vehicle (motorcycle pun intended) for folks to kick in to the Buell Race effort.

In the interim, I'll take the new proceeds from the shirts we sell and any cash contributions and provide the entire thing to ERIK BUELL RACING for the purpose of supporting the racing effort.

This is really cool and it's growing . . between Germany and the USA into quite a formidable grass roots effort.

If you want to simply kick in you can send it by paypal to CLCanfield AHT AOL DOHT COM and be sure to put the words ERIK BUELL RACING CONTRIBUTION and your address in their somewhere.

Court



UPDATE: Okay . . here's were we are at and man oh man are you folks AMAZING. I leave for a day, get home and nearly 40 of you have Paypal'd funds. This is AMAZING support for the ERIK BUELL RACING EFFORT and I'm thinking we'll have amassed an impressive tire fund ! !

Couple details:

We'd discussed if we should charge $40 or $50 and most the donations coming in are at the $50 per shirt level.
That's GREAT but I'm going to set the price at $40 or $50 whichever you want.
My goal would be to have as many of the shirts sold as possible by Tuesday at Noon. The fewer we have to sell at the track, the better.

Be CERTAIN your paypal includes the NUMBER OF SHIRTS, THE SIZES annnnnnnd YOUR SHIPPING ADDRESS.
If you don't do Paypal . . . . drop Vamp or I a note with NEED COURT'S ADDRESS in the subject and we'll send you the mailing address by reply mail.


Just to close again . . . This is really cool. I've got 200 shirts on the way and I've told the folks at ERIK BUELL RACING that the Badweb goal is to buy ALL the tires for both Mid-Ohio AND Laguna Seca.
Our goal is an ambitious one . . to raise $6,000 (tires have been running about $3,000 per race) for tires.
I think we can do it and the most amazing part is that the GUYS AND GALS of BADWEB have played huge part in tipping the go/no go scales in favor of Geoff May appearing on the Buell at Laguna Seca.

This is going to be a huge effort and, as you can see, it'll require pretty much non-stop driving from Mid-Ohio just to get to Laguna Seca.

I'm excited . . you guys and gals continue to amaze!
