drswift Posted November 24, 2010 Share Posted November 24, 2010 When we were in Death Valley a few weeks ago, I happened to notice that Franz had on a really unique shirt: long sleeve, with a vintage BMW on the back. (It was pretty hard to miss since we were roommates!) Aside from the fact that it was from Fresno BMW, the unique feature was that it was a mock-turtleneck heavyweight shirt, not just a t-shirt - a perfect shirt for winter riding! I called Fresno BMW and they are out of stock. Turns out the vintage bike was their old logo for shirts. But the apparel manager says they are thinking of reprinting the shirts due to popular demand, but they don't know when. You could help me get the ball rolling by calling them and telling them you're interested in one of those mock-turtleneck long sleeve shirts (whether you buy one is up to you!) It's a really cool shirt - just ask Franz or CoarsegoldKid. Their number is: 866-811-4269. Be sure to ask for the apparel mgr. Link to comment

RTinNC Posted November 29, 2010 Share Posted November 29, 2010 I have a shot of the back of the shirt that they e-mailed me I can pass it along for posting. Just send me a PM with your e-mail. Here is how they described them to me: the only color we will be doing is black. they are long sleeve, very nice weight and quality shirts but not a true mock turtle. they are a higher collar then the short sleeve. i would call it a mock of a mock turtle neck. placing the order tuesday 11/30/2010.

WURTY Posted December 18, 2010 Share Posted December 18, 2010 I remember Jack and Al at Fresno BMW. They made BMW of Fresno fun. Good folks. I need a shirt too. Link to comment
Jon_M Posted December 19, 2010 Share Posted December 19, 2010 I can't find that shirt anywhere on Fresno's website. Do I have to order it by phone? Link to comment
drswift Posted December 19, 2010 Author Share Posted December 19, 2010 I can't find that shirt anywhere on Fresno's website. Do I have to order it by phone? Yeah, you do. (They said they are going to add it. Who knows when.) Ask for Chris. Link to comment
RTinNC Posted December 21, 2010 Share Posted December 21, 2010 Called last week and ordered mine ... it arrived yesterday! Great shirt and perfect fit! Thanks for the tip. Being a sort of t-shirt collector this one was a real find! Get them while they're still in stock. Link to comment
