Needs to be eye-catching, to the point, and easy to read at a distance while moving.
Something like this. Excuse the grainy image. The upload screwed it up a bit. Assume it is smooth and crystal clear with a bright red neon effect.

Tell ya what. If I win I'll do a site supporter only drawing for something of my choosing from Manx with the winnings. Pay it forward.

Look twice for cagers. That should be a sticker anyway. I'd put it on my jeep.

[Sytrept]

I'm an ex-site supporter... no matter, I plan on winning anyways.

The "cager" design is funny but may not bring in new business. That is a term that most people who are just starting to ride won't know yet, won't get the joke, etc.

It also kind of reaffirms the negative stereotype of sport bikers since it is more derogatory than it is a term of endearment.

Make another one voo..your are 2 behind me already and I am still cooking up new ideas. :potstir:

[rothwell]

one for the mommas of the world :p

That way if you like to ride then you buy the bike! makes it seem less expensive and will get more people in the training class...

[griffinzx10]

Im my sticker designs defense...

All bikers have see the look twice for motorcycles phrase or cages... I think that having a sticker say look twice for cagers would not be confusing to any biker that see's it even if they have never heard the phrase "cager".

I honestly think I've come up with a money making idea with the "look twice for cagers" phrase. Tell me you wouldnt pay a couple bucks for that sticker at a bike show or event... It cost very little to make these things. I've shown it to probably 20 bikers and they all love it and I could care less what a non biker thinks about it for this purpose. Its intended to advertise to bikers and the one thing we all have in common is that we need to be very aware of the people in cages that dont look twice.

Just my 2 pennies...

[voodoo]

ps... get your stickers submitted... Due by June 24th.

I don't disagree that it is a good design that could make money. You should copyright it and make them before someone else does. Then make stickers, tshirts, hats...

I just don't think it works for Joe's need to promote his business. It is the "non-bikers who just bought a bike" that are most likely his potential customers. And that sticker would go right over their heads IMHO.

Thought you had a bunch of ideas. Got writer's block now?

[rothwell]

Didn't you have training?

I don't think that they offered training when I started riding in 1970. All I got from my grandfather was "that's the throttle, that's the brake, get on it and go!"

I have no doubt that I would benefit from training even now. I probably learned all the wrong things to do.

[Perma Grin]

Love the yellow... but Im still stuck on my sticker... pun intented.

...and the misspelling too?

[voodoo]

I wanna know which one you folks went with. I'm sure you're waiting for tsb to one back though. Tapatalk (mobile phone app) rules by the way.

[voodoo]

Ps... See ya wednesday for the permit course.

[voodoo]

so yeah... lets see the winning design?

[RideatJoes]

Street Rider takes the day, his flashy "Ride at Joes" in red with dark background took the day. Will be putting a check in the mail (no, really!), don't spend it all in one place. Nice stuff David, thanks again!

Joe

[voodoo]

Thanks.

I am glad to see that you are pursuing production of the cager design. That has real potential.

Don't forget to "tm" the phrase on the stickers and start protecting your rights.

You should grab the domain now too!
