PistonHeads bike Ts launched

We like bikes on PH too - here's our latest range of two-wheeled T-shirts

---

PistonHeads is all about cars, right? Well no actually as we are rather fond of bikes too, as our PH2 articles demonstrate. Saying that our merchandise has taken a distinctly four-wheeled tone of late and it’s high time we rectified that with a new range of bike designs.

As per usual all designs are available in a range of sizes and can be bought as a mug too. No helmet required, knee sliders optional, leather essential.

Honda Six	Ducati Desmosedici

I've actually heard the "Banshee wail" of Hailwood's Honda 6, It sure was a sound that was unforgettable.

No MV Agusta, Ago/Reid, serious omission. The sound of that striking up in the pits in 70's was a signal that the game was up.

Any coincidence that Mr Garlick has just bought a scooter?
Are the mods influencing threads?

I'm surprised a scooter never made it to the thread. Vespa, or a Honda 90.

[twobanks]

Wot, no *Manx Norton*?!
^^insert your preference here

No H-Ds? TBH, I'm glad to see some pre-war stuff offered. However, here are a few suggestions:

Late Indian Chief with the fender skirts

Moto Guzzi and/or MV Agusta

Triumph Bonneville (thought that would be a no-brainer)

Vincent Black Shadow/Lightning (pretty please!!!!) Maybe a stylized/outline version of this iconic photo: Rollie Free setting the World Speed Record on the Black Lightning.

Never has a man had bigger balls!!!

[Motown Junk]

That Fizzy doesn't look right to me. I thought they came as standard with Ace bars, Micron 'spanny' and chopped rear mudguard. My mates one could do 65mph, allegedly

Good to see some Velocette action

I'm pretty sure there would be some copyright issues with Read/Ago etc, they have their own clothing ranges I think, so I guess that's why they're not included

ETA I was surprised this wasn't in biker banter, so I've started a thread there as they're probably your target market

Did he take them off and put them in his toolbox (fnaar) to ride, then?

I'm sure I'm gonna get whooshed, but:



your mate's couldn't reach 65 if he dropped it off the local multi storey!

[Fishtigua]

Wot! No Guzzi Lemon or a Bonnie? Morini 3 1/2 was also a design classic.

[PATTERNPART]

Surely there has to be an RD250LC?! A non mod Lambretta like a GP125 (Bertone) would be nice too.

[Mattygooner]

Cue everyone complaining that their favourite is not included!

Honda 6 for me, in Silver with turquoise go faster stripes!

[scarble]

RG500, 3CE, 99R, Manx?

I'm guessing you mean a Laverda 3CE? No idea what a 99R is though?!

[scarble]

oops, I missed a 9
and yes, 3CE. Although whether the silhouette would be distinguishable from a 3C...

[srob]

Ah I did wonder if you meant a 999R

[Foggy748]

Mr G,

Surely Ducati 748/916/996/998?

I'm sure our 4 time WSBK champion will be on your case if this isn't arranged sharpish!

[srob]

Wot no 1924 (the nickle tanked one) Montgomery with the 350 oil cooled Bradshaw engine??
