Well that outs me out of the shirt market.  I have hair down to my ass.  No one would ever see the cool shirt.

This is our shop T-shirt we had made to celebrate the arrival of the RE's. Pretty cool eh?


Very nice,

Not to be a dick, does it seem the headlamp is twisted a few degrees CCW?






Ok,  I'm a dick....    ;)

You probably are from the East Coast or the South.
The bike on the t-shirt is a California model.
Our headlights are skewed a bit to compinsate for the Geological shelf plate differance we have at the San Andreas fault line.

Our roads are all off camber no matter what side of the road you ride on to make up for the roads being slightly off kiilter.
If you see a rental car that came from Cali, you'll see that the drivers side (left)  of all four tires are worn a bit more than the right side.

Sadly, when the bikes are uncrated they are in the neutral  posistion and the tech's have to use a tool from RE called the Scoot-plumb-bob to set the light at the correct axis and refraction.
That's why the Cali. bikes cost a couple hundred bucks more as you'll see on the Motherships website.
Good pick up tho.
Current bikes:
'71 BMW R75/5 racer
'73 Kaw Z1 racer
'77 Tri 750 Bonneville

It's not me, its a science/geological thing.
What's a hoonanny?
We have a RE tool in our new dealers kit called a  Scootnanny, I always thought it was to re-install the rubber bits in between the cylinder fins.

I got my shirt for free! All I had to do was buy a bike from them. Btw, a hoonanny is like a hoedown only with more banjo.

I checked our new dealer kit and didn't find anything called a hoedown.
There was something called a Bob-braider that I never really figured out.
We're still learning.

Hahaha! The Bob-braider must be used to control the follicular flappulation when riding at high speeds ..... Failure to use the braider will result in follicular tanglulation. Severe cases of follicular tangulation could result in follicular removal and resetting .....  ;D
