Looking for you input on this cafe Racer t-shirt design

Been Around the Block
y'all have been asking for something a little more cafe specific for awhile... I am working on a design for a new shirt with a friend. Here is a !!!>rough<!!! sketch / first draft. I would love to get some feed back on what you guys think so far, and any suggestions. There will be a little back ground added and the final product would be cleaned up a lot.

Man that is badass, I would buy one, gray preferably. ;D Thats some extreme talent, just wondering if the front fender is suppose to have two braces? Is that a BSA? I could be totally off.
 
Glad you guys like it... Not sure what bike it was based off of a more talented buddy did the sketch. I am paying him to do the art so I want to make sure its something y'all like.

I am planning on printing it on a white t-shirt and have one or two colors of ink... maybe black and gray? I'd like to keep it to two colors I think he is on board with that but told him we can go up to 6 if the design calls for it.
 
Make sure ya let us know when its ready! I dig it in 2 colors on a white shirt. Simple and clean...
 
I am sure there will be more updates as the shirt progresses... Hoping to have it done in the next week or so, trying to get it finished before Steel City Mods Vs. Rockers event (8/13).

What would you prefer for "print location" chest or I was thinking about doing it towards the bottom side of the front... kind of like the racer is coming round the hip? What do you thing about that, would it make the shirt or make it suck?
 
I'd take it if it were white on black, I want a shirt that I can get grease on for years to come.


Also, the print would need to be on the back, maybe 8x10, across shoulder blades.
 
I got a lot of black shirts right now, I want to do something different. I am planning on printing the Race Number Plate on the back.
 
Any Ideas on what kind of back ground you would want to see on this? City, Record or Jukebox, nothing, something abstract, Checkered flag.... what would really set it off for you?
 
NO CHECKER ANYTHING... PLLLEEEEAAAAASSSEEEE.

Hahaha.

Hows about the Pittsburgh skyline? I know that would make me smile. ;)
 
I dig the white shirt, almost all of my bike shirts are black, and it's DAMN HOT outside. ; )
The more I hear of this design the more I like it. I would like the print lower on the hip, and the number plate on back is bitchin'.
Some two-lane blacktop switchbacks would be cool for background.
 
I like the idea of it coming around the hip. Maybe a nice city skyline behind th rider. The number plate on the back is a great idea. I would dig a british racing green shirt. Or maybe a muted yellow would be cool. White would work too.
 
Just the sketch you've shown. White on a black shirt, black on a white shirt. On the chest or back.

Clean and simple.
 
Definitely Mock 1 but can I be a bit honest? I did think mickey mouse when I saw it. A slight tweak and that would be an awesome design.

Si
