Ok, whipped up isn't the exact term since I have quite a considerable amount of time in this. Not sure how I'm going to have it printed yet, maybe I'll do the Cafe Press thing or I was even thinking of approaching my local dealer to see if they would be interested.

Anyway, thought I would share it here first:

Yeah, I agree. The design is both classic and hard.
Nice, really nice.
Good Work

That on the back, with an emblem on the front, sold through cafepress (or other online source), would get a few bucks from me.

I would gladly tour the country collecting TRIUMPH dealer T's, were they to ever have any.

Every where you look, it's H-D of Orlando, or H-D of Honolulu, or whatever. My dealer (BRITISH-USA) has Triumph T's with his name and South Houston, Texas on the back.

How many other Triumph dealers have their own t-shirts? I called the dealer in Tyler, Tx recently, and yes, they have their own H-D shirts, as they sell Harley's also, but nothing personalized to the dealership in the Triumph line.

Nice design by the way, even though I personally am not into the "skulls" thing. Like the color combination and the rest of the graphic, though.

Sorry to nitpick here too Matt, but I really like almost everything about this cool design of yours too, except the skull.

I was thinking in place of the skull have you perhaps thought about either a figure of the "Lion Rampant"(the famed U.K. lion reared up on his hind legs with it's paws out forward), or maybe the head of an english bulldog in about the same size and scale as that skull? I think that would be pretty cool and would continue the theme that you've got going on here.


Yep! Just like a good Single Malt Scotch, you might call me "an acquired taste" TOO.(among the many OTHER things you may care to call me, of course)

The skull is so small it's almost an after thought, don't change it.

I used to have two skulls in it. lol. I simplified it a bit - it was originally the lighter color too, but I changed it to be set back more. Maybe I'll play with other ideas and see what I can come up with. Skulls are "in" right now, so that's one of the reasons I put it in there.

I'm going to contact a printer tomorrow and see what type of prices I'm looking at. Then I'll compare that to Cafe Press - I generally don't care for places like that since I like to be in contact with the printer so I know it comes out to my liking.

I see that I am in the minority ~~ but I would like it better without the skull. Maybe a nice cross ~~ just kidding. Very nice design.

Very nice. Put that on the back of a nice black work shirt (like Dickies) with a Logo over the breast on the front and I'd buy one. I don't need anymore t's, but black work shirts come in real handy

Or....buy the shirt and your own work shirt and apply like a patch to the back. And yes I have done it before...

But a (black) shirt with it on would be good too.

I also like the design very much, but I also don't care for the skull. I have not figured out why the skull is in so many designs.

Yep Todd...Nothin' says bloodshed and death better than a nice ride on a motorcycle, huh?!

(I, at least, got your joke, buddy...I HOPE it was a joke anyway)

Now, not to start some sort of "controversy" around here(however, I think you people all know by now that that IS my "job" here at BA.com), but I still don't quite understand this "fixation"(for want of a better word) with death, almost overtly symbolized by the skull, which seems to permeate the mind-set of many motorcyclists.

I don't, and never have ridden motorcycles these past 40 years with the intention of "cheating death"(that of course is just a natural offshoot of this endevor)

I've always ridden motorcycles because I enjoy LIFE, and have found that there are few better ways to be found on this planet to indulge that enjoyment(for me anyway) than throwin' my leg over one of these things and pushin' that start button.(in my younger days of course, I had to kick-start 'em)

Ahh, but that's just me, I suppose.

(and BTW...I still like the overall artwork of Matt's design here)

Keep the skull, it adds cool points, kind of like how any old school rock and roll video must include long hair blowing in the wind...and fire. The only downfall to cafe press is that if you do go with them, you will not be able to get a shirt printed entirely in that subdued blue color. Just the design. They have started offering many different color shirts for your designs but they are mostly all fairly bright colors, with the exception of black and gray. Good luck man, that design is awesome- make sure you post the link to your storefront when you get it so we can all whip out the visa's.

I suppose the skull-haters probably want it replaced with dandelions, or maybe pansies.

Skulls are just cool.

The skull brings negative feedback but nobody mentioned (that I recall and I'm too lazy to reread the whole thread) that the bike is a standard bonnie, not an America. I'd still buy one, though. It's a real nice design.

It's a nice design, but I'm with Dwight on this one. What's the deal with the skull. You know when I was a kid the Phantom lived in skull cave and it was cool...but I was 10 years old. Do Triumphs represent death ? I think not.

If you guys don't like the design, don't buy it if it becomes available. Some of us do like it and will buy it 'as is'.

That's JMHO

Another vote for.

That being said, it's your design. Do it however you want it to be. Just like our bikes, we make them into the machines that fit us and our tastes.
