I know that’s a pain in the ass to coordinate, but white Ts die fast in my collection. If you add a color like dark grey, blue, or best of all that grey speckle that hides the occasional oil spot, I’ll take three more, same size.

As always, the solutions to the tension are personal. I don’t try to explain the history of my posters to people who think they are offensive, I know that to me they are part of an inside joke and my long love of motorcycles. The idea those posters sold--that beautiful women would overlook my teenage geekiness and want to hang around with me because I had a motorcycle--is pure comedy. They crossed the street to avoid me. People who see me wearing the T-shirt will have no understanding of the history, and if they cared about my attitude (I’m a geezer--they don’t) they might worry about me a bit, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t worth celebrating.

I think we can keep the price somewhere between $10 and $20 depending on the quantity, so what say you?  Is anyone interested?  They would be white short sleeve.  Attached are some pics to illustrate.  The front would just be the FOT logo, not the Kastner Cup 2007 reference.
