Eish not another challange. :D How long is this poll going to be open? as i can't decide yet. :?
-
its a close fight between 3 and 5. the voices haven't decided yet.
-
Wow, one of each please.
Maybe we could fund two different types, one based on the start of dirt road sign, the other on the bike.
-
Good idea Sharkie..we do not have to be limited to one sticker only.
-
No matter which one wins, they are all great ! I have gone for #7 though.
-
the idea of the sign which means "dirt road ahead" appeals to me, but it just looks like the end of a cigarette (as mango and LiTO mentioned) so it doesnt get my vote.
am also highly flattered that my idea is also up there (even tho no votes :) ) but i have to go with the KISS one - no. 2
but its hard, as they are all really appealing.
well done LS, our resident graphics artist (for most anyway)
-
2 and 7.
ps: i would prefer number 2 to be just the oval, no black background.
now, can we have one of each made please
HEIN WHAT IS THE NEW NAME OF US?
No, its not MAVERICKS ARE SHARK
-
I am clearing a space on my very busy topbox already in anticipation.... 8) 8)
-
I'll have to go for 7, even though, for some reason, I can't vote :cry:
And no, I haven't voted in on this one yet.
-
Oops :oops:
Vote has been cast :D
-
As of now we are 121 registered members with only 29 votes, come on peeps please vote for you favourite!!!!

In the ones where it says SA's Adventure riders.... would it not work better linguistically to say SA Adventure riders..... as most will be on SA bikes, and for those that don't know..... they'll never know.
I guess after about 2 weeks of contemplation, and now being on this for a while..... Number 7 does get my vote for passing the message most clearly, as long as it is of a reasonable size.
How many will be printed as a first run ??
-
In the ones where it says SA's Adventure riders.... would it not work better linguistically to say SA Adventure riders...
SA's Adventure Riders means South Africa's Adventure Riders
SA Adventure Riders means South African Adventure Riders
One denotes origin and the other nationality. A slight difference in meaning but simple semantics in the end...both are grammatically correct
However? I seem to remember from school that inanimate objects like a table, etc. does not get an apostrophe s at the end. So it should really be South Africas instead of South Africa?s? Clever English speakers please verify or dismiss.
-
's is meant for "is" as in He's going to .... He IS going to.
Thats what I was taught.
I dont remember the rest.
Its a bit anal though, I dont think anyone really gives a shit in this day and age.
SA's Adventure Riders lekker sous

The 's shows ownership, like the Adventure Riders belong to SA. The SA by itself does seem to be easier to read and I agree with Grizz's point. To me South Africa's or South African doesn't seem to be a difference. I feel that SA Adventure Rider's will be easier to read and thus easier to identify. Just my 2 cents
-
I feel another poll comin' on :lol:
actually, I agree with grizz and piesang too - I think the 's should be dropped. It's cleaner and simpler
-
No 7 is most descriptive.
Send for printing and lets go riding!
-
Agree number seven, just waiting to stick it to my bike !
-
When will this be finalized and how soon can we get it?!
-
Boetas, my wife works for a printing company and can get a discount prize on quantity, that is if any of you do not own a printing company. We're wasting time on this. Every time I coma across a DS bike I wonder if the owner and I do not belong to WDT and we just do not know it.
Last week on the public holiday I met 2 oke's (one on a Dakar and one on a KTM640) in the Wimpy from PTA, who was riding in Parys area, and they did not know about forum, so I think the sticker will be a helluva ad for our forum.
-
I mailed my brother in law, he works for a company that prints stickers may be he can organize some nice price!

Please ask him in what file format they would prefer the original image to be: .jpg .bmp .gif .cdr(corel) ?
-
Just spoke to him... they would prefer Corel draw, please send....
-
Quantity? about 50?
size? same as license disc stickers?
-
more than that.
Any suggestions?
-
What about 100 ? Just thinking I may end up buying a couple to put on (not stick) on ds bikes I see parked somewhere, depends on the price I guess ?
-
I think the more we order the more discount we'll get per item... who's gona "autorize" the quality and overall product? May be one of moderators?!
-
LEts get a quote and then decide on the quantities, I will want more than one (for the Cage as well)!!!
-
I will take several too. I do believe that 100 will be snapped up quickly.
I really like that sticker by the way.... baie blerrie nice, dont care about the exact spelling and all that crud.
PING HEIN - whats the new name of this forum mate in terms of web address???????????????
Cos thats what we need to finalise if theres some sort of web address going to be printed on it yeah?
-
Stick to this one at the moment mate - we can drop the /forum bit since we shall redo the landing page. So www.wilddogtours.co.za is ok for now.

-
Guys n Gals
We need to raise the money to have all the stickers printed. I think we should get at least 250 printed, there are already 147 registered members. I am prepared to donate some money (about R200).
Come on lets get this done........
-
Do we have an accounted number ? I'll give some money too, we need around R900 ?
-
I can donate R100... for now
-
I can donate R100... for now
I am in Nigel on a regular basis, sorry lets rephrase that, I visit our factory in Nigel on a regular basis.
I you need stuff dropping or collecting, not an issue (R 100 not an issue).
Welsh 8)
-
R200 from me.
Neil, send your bank details, or nominate someone to sort it out.
-
Guys I will PM my bank details to those than want to donate. ChrisB can you PM me you email address and contact number so we can chat to get this sorted out.
-
Have we decided on a design yet?
Have we decided if a web address should be included?
Size?
(http://img108.imageshack.us/img108/5295/saadvrider01a7zg.gif)
-
Website address needs to be in...
Lets finalise the design
The one accepted is the one you posted now, (Don't know about the positioning of the flag....
-
Its tricky fitting all the info on a round sticker
...which is why I'm a little sorry No.3 didn't get the vote - it works better IMHO
(http://wilddogtours.co.za/forum/images/stickers/3.gif)
-
Maybe put the top 2-3 stickers against each other in a FINAL poll and allow some detail discussion around these practicalities - rather spend an extra day or two on the design - and get it right the first time (and now i'm sounding just like an IT development consultant :oops: )
MHO only

-
The round one, need to find a spot to put the web address.
Can just move the flag to the bottom center.
Put the web address somewhere in the picture.
-
ChrisB can you PM me you email address and contact number so we can chat to get this sorted out.
Done...
-
Personally no. 3 looks better especially the flag and the URL, but round will do aswell as long as we have something soon... the shape might also affect the quote some what - not sure :?
-
Don't know if I missed it but how big are the stickers going to be ?
-

90mm diameter , I think that is license disc size...
-
Sounds good !
-
Chris, just wait before you dothe final, I've put down for a quote as well and put it down as 100=R3.20 and 250=R3.00. Maybe we get it cheaper
-
BUMP

Will do... when do you expect it?

LS
Can you possibly re-look the design with the Website Address and SA flag (but maybe not upside down??)
-
How about this?
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v209/chrisbez/WildDogTours.jpg)
-
The flag is inverted...
Dont you know its blue sky upwards, and red blood of the ancestors on the ground.
But that looks styling.

Red goes on top... :? that's the way it hangs at all government buildings...

just kidding, the blood of the ancestors can rest in peace.

Guys
Apologies, I should have posted here. BlaBla and myself were chatting the other day. He got a really good quote and we just decided to stop procrastinating and order the things. So they have been ordered...
BBBS please let us know when they will be ready.
I think what we would like to do is to sell the stickers for a small fee so that the money can be payed into the Wild Dog bank account to help out with the costs of the forum. What do you guys think???

Ok all.....
The stickers are ready for collection.
The stickers will cost you R10 each so we can donate the money to the forum to keep it going.....
They can be collected from the Touratech offices (Bla-Bla) or over the weekend at the AMID show.
Some stickers will be sent down to CPT for the Capies, we will let you know when they will be there.
For those that want them posted, please PM me and we will arrange this ASAP.....
Please support this guys, we want all forum members to have one of these on their bikes.

Cool bananas!!! Hope to see you guys at Touratech's offices or at the Rider Gear stand at AMID.
Fun, how will the R10 payment work? Must I collect and then pay into the www account?
-
Unfortunately the stickers sold in the cape will cost R15
R10 goes to the board and R5 goes to me so that I can finance my new bike
Thank you
-
The 1st 20 stickers have been sold to wino and cuteness!!! If you can't wait, pop in at Touratech's offices today, or come see me at AMID at the Rider Gear stall.
Gmpf..... 'n skaap op stal, hulle sal hulle wat verbeel
-
Attention: Capetonians!
Do you want me to order 50 or so from Bla-bla and distribute it here in the cape (no, no...I won't mark up the prices :wink: ) or do you want to deal directly with the Gautengelengers?
I am going to order 10 for myself tomorrow if I don't hear from anybody
-
please lets do it in bulk order.
i too want 5.
pls wait a day or so till all have seen your generous offer :lol:
there are quite a few down here.... who also would want, i imagine.
hein, wino... how do you guys see this?
want us to remove stickers from bikes if we sell the bike? or do you all want the free advertising it gives....
-
Okeydokes macduff
I just want to repeat this post here because we seemed to have jumped to a new page and some people don't flip back to previous pages.

I guess I will have to order more than 50 stickers - can we be accommodated? Perhaps 80 or a hundred is more reasonable. I will pay in advance
-
As you wish - personally I don't mind the advertising, but i'm busy with negotiations for forum members (showing the sticker) discount for accommodation at certain venues. How do one buy and ride a bike with another's stickers on in any case?? :lol: Its like stealing his past and life??? :roll: :lol:

-
LuckyS,
May I please order two :?:
I should be in Cape Town in the next week or so, can collect from you or via McDuff.
If you would like the money deposited into your bank account please pm the details
Muchios Grachios :)
-
I will set 2 aside for you if I receive them in time from bla-bla
don't worry about the money for now. i think we should wait and see when the stickers are distributed
-
well, i've got my batch! a BIG thanks to everyone involved, yes, it even includes us who only voted! great forum effort!
-
Would love to have one....Will grab one from
MacDuff, and offcourse would gladly pay the price...
Seems very reasonable, especially if some of it goes to
helping this board along.
-
Capetonians et all.
I have received a whole bunch of stickers thanks to bla-bla and Chris Hamman. 8)
There are 99 stickers in all so don't be shy when you order!
So far I have orders from macduff, BoJangles, Udjeni and Butch. mango will steal one from mac if he doesn't object. But as I said, I have plenty so please order as many as you want and hand them out to your friends.

Luckystriker. It is definately going to take a bit more than a sticker...Mmmm maybe a Katoom 990 could swing it.
Shark, some interesting reading there. Maybe we can convince her to join this forum. I am sure there are a few characters among us who could assist with her therapy.
