Hope you don't mind me lurking in the background on the forum, although I do have my own leathers and have been known to ride pillion, so I'm half a biker, much to our mum's horror
Just wanted to say this is a great idea - will probably want some stickers for myself (am I allowed to put them on a push bike?!) and confirm his birth year as 1964. I know he wasn't looking forward to his 50th next year but have to say this is a rather extreme way of avoiding it...

Hi Dianne, I personally am pleased that you are joining us on the forum, albeit in such awful circumstances, please don't just lurk.

At the moment this is a work in progress, I have a crack team working on the art work, maybe we should leave it to your good self to chose the final wording...? Would you prefer that any final design used Martin instead of Benny ?

It's not up there yet but as the ideas come in I will add new 'wordings' to the first post, starting with...

'Ride In Peace Benny'

Mac.

Now I do like this idea but I can see issues with getting the art work & also you would need two colour printing to get the white letters on the gold (?) background... I'll have a word with the art department.

Benson and Hedges font wont be out there in the public domain and certainly wont be free. It's more than likely their own custom font. Plus your starting to introduce complicated colours and printing patterns. And then what about the warning labels or whatever that is part of the design on fag packets

Nice brainstorming but practicality, no. It needs to be a simple bit of text a bit like our VTR Forum stickers and maybe an outline of his bike or something. Maybe helmet and gloves This all depends on the size/constraints of the area that they can be stuck on too.

I'm thinking all along that this should be a simple one line tribute sticker. For your bike, push or otherwise, helmet, guitar, toolbox or whatever.

Adding complex shapes & colours will up the cost which will diminish the amount we can donate to Benny's family at he end of the day.

Once you get the design ideas together, send 'em to me. I work in Pre Press, and I also have the services of a first class designer. I can't get them cut - but can certainly work the design and typography....

Cheers Clive, will bear that in mind, the crack artwork team are working on it at the moment...that is if they aren't playing cricket or doing whatever house sitters do...
