hopz Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 May be showing my age here but... A few years ago we, members of this forum, has BMWST Stickers made. Does anyone have one of those old-school sticker laying around your shop or desk? Please drop me a PM... new bike needs a little dressing up. Link to comment
gordiet Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 How about some new ones? GT Link to comment
Tourmaster Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 I have been wanting to get a men's long sleeve tee shirt, the link to merchandise has shown a 'website coming soon' message for quite some time, are they available at this time? Link to comment
johnlt Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 Check with Whip, I believe he has them. "Old School" stickers were BMWRT.COM. BMWST is new school. Link to comment
RTinNC Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 I have some BMWRT stickers but none of the "ST" version. I am a traditionalist. Link to comment
szurszewski Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 I have some BMWRT stickers but none of the "ST" version. I am a traditionalist. Those disappeared from availability shortly after I joined - I've been pining for one ever since... *sigh* Link to comment
kltk165 Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 I'd buy one if they became available again. Link to comment
RTinNC Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 hops new bike should soon be the envy of his riding buddies with its BMWRT sticker. Link to comment
EffBee Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 So, do you all want BMWST or BMWRT stickers? Assuming we make them from printed reflective material, is $2 each palatable? With shipping, that would be $5/pr. Link to comment

greiffster Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 So, do you all want BMWST or BMWRT stickers? Maybe a hybrid for fun?....doesn't have to be two colors. Link to comment

chrisolson Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 Admitting BMWST is more current, I'd vote for BMWRT for the nostalgia aspect. And if produced, count me in. Link to comment
gordiet Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 I vote for BMW RT. Price sounds good to me. GT Link to comment
Scribner Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 Put me down for two! I can't decide which I like the most; both look great. Link to comment
Jeff in VA Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 I'm in. BTW, BMWRT.com redirects here, so it is still a current URL. I prefer RT, even though I have a GS now. Link to comment
hopz Posted May 2, 2015 Author Share Posted May 2, 2015 Here you go: This is what the Old School ones look like... thanks Ed Apelian. Link to comment
ltljohn Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 Had one of those on my RT I just might put one on my V-strom Link to comment
szurszewski Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 Yes please! I've been pining for a BMWRT sticker since I joined. I'll definitely take a couple at least. josh Link to comment
mnTwin Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 In for a couple of each. I have a BMWRT sticker...it came with a windshield I bought. Link to comment
EffBee Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 OK, just so we're clear. There is a minimum order quantity of 250. The printer would prefer a minimum of 500 or 1000. The reflective material isn't cheap, and he's gonna have to eat what we don't use. That drives the price up. I'm guessing at $2 each. It might be a good bit more. I doubt it will be less. We'll provide them at cost plus rounding up to the nearest dollar, plus $1 shipping (assuming they can be delivered intact via USPS in a regular envelope). If we have to go to a cardboard envelope, the shipping goes up to $3, because a non-bendable envelope pays USPS "parcel" rates. FYI, this isn't necessarily going to be a money maker for the website, but we can't afford to take a loss either. What I'm hearing from this initial response is that there's strong nostalgia for the original "BMWRT" sticker. We'll take care of those first and see how we do. After that, if we don't lose our shirts, we'll take a look at producing BMWST stickers. Please continue to let me know which one you want. And thanks for your input. Link to comment
RTinNC Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 Here you go: This is what the Old School ones look like... thanks Ed Apelian. Very nice! I love the older MOA stickers better than the new ones as well. Have to dig them out and put one on my new GSA. Link to comment
EffBee Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 I'm in. BTW, BMWRT.com redirects here, so it is still a current URL. I prefer RT, even though I have a GS now. Jeff, you're right. We own both domains, BMWRT.com and BMWST.com. Among the things that member contributions and donations go to is renewing these domains. Last year, GoDaddy had a promotion, and I was able to secure both domains until July, 2020, for about 30% off, so I did it. And BMWRT will continue to forward to BMWST, at least until then. So if you've got a BMWRT sticker on your bike, and someone sees it and tries to find the old site, they'll get rerouted to us. Link to comment
tallman Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 I still have some, but, put me in for four of each. Link to comment

Drakas Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 I am new, but I like to think I have sense enough to strike while the iron is hot. I'll take three pair of them, @$5. I defer to more senior members about the RT/ST. If both were available I guess I'd rather have RT, but whatever. Link to comment
Jake Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 I'd take several old school versions. Gotta keep future bikes happy. Link to comment
walton66 Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 I'm in for a pair of whichever you decide on Link to comment
Sweendog Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 I'll take two. Just tell me where to send my money. Link to comment
Effjay Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 I'm "in" for a pair too... Got one (BMWST) way back at the John Day UN for my former 07 RT but that was peeled off (with difficulty - really durable material) as moto prepped for sale in 2012. Although I think BMWRT is kinda retro cool and in theme with what most of here ride, BMWST is more aligned with forum recognition. For that reason, I vote ordering that version... Link to comment
gordiet Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 Can we see a sample before purchasing. GT Link to comment
EffBee Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 Can we see a sample before purchasing. GT If we're going for the nostalgic and original BMWRT.com sticker, it's going to look like this one posted above. Link to comment
greiffster Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 If we're going for the nostalgic and original BMWRT.com sticker, it's going to look like this one posted above. There seems to be a lot of support for the old school sticker. I actually kind of like it as well. But, it's Monday so I'll play devil's advocate. It's really only cool nostalgic to you if you were here back then. Otherwise, it's probably just confusing. Ultimately, since the domain points to the correct website anyway, it doesn't really matter. But, if the sticker is (in some part) for the purpose of promoting the website to those not familiar with it, then I would argue that BMWST.com is more appropriate. Many of the responses have been from senior member who have a history here, back in the day. I'm just throwing out a perspective from a short timer. Flame away, I can take it. Link to comment

I get your point(s); my counter is, beyond promoting the site, I ride an RT... and I guess that's the end of my counter Link to comment
greiffster Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 I ride an RT... Well, there is that which is a fair point. Link to comment
Effjay Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 Seems to me BMWRT decals at this point would be like printing something other than the signature ADV for those that forum. My preference remains BMWST unless there is sentiment to revert back the original forum name... Link to comment
EffBee Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 Fear not. There will likely be both BMWRT and BMWST stickers available. Just not both of them immediately. Link to comment
Norm 88 Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 I'm in for two whichever you decide.. Link to comment
GrumpyOldMan Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 I'll take a pair of whichever are available first. Thanks! Link to comment
Sheepherder Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 i will take four of either type Link to comment
kltk165 Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 I'm ok with $5. More than fair I think. Sorry, I know I'm not helping, but, ST or RT is fine with me. Link to comment
