Wow, I think I saw this guy yesterday on my way to Byer's Bush in Mississauga. He was a bit grizzly and had a beard, right? Black Pini? He gets around!

Come to think of it wouldn’t you think that bike forms would do a line of merch stuff? It would make sense no

Axis Gear's shirts and such were pretty reasonable it seemed from the price list.
As well, wy wife works for a marketing production company.... if we decide on something I can more than likely get us a deal on something. Not a jersey proper but a t-shirt for sure. they do all the stuff for the cancer society and such. Maybe a deal on the patches is possible.
You gotta roll with your patches on. Are we going to have semi and full patch members a la Hell's and Bandito's?

The guy from Bike Forums can barely afford the server, let alone the thousands it would take to create merch.

Keith once I get that track off you it'l,l get re-branded Fuji track jammer..heehee

Wez: They kill us, we kill them! Kill them! Kill them! Kill! Kill!
The Humungus: Be still my dog of war. I understand your pain. We've all lost someone we love. But we do it my way! We do it my way. Fear is our ally. The gasoline will be ours. Then you shall have your revenge.

edit: in response to the desert cage match. I found the quote on imdb and it also features "Wez" coincidentally enough.

I tended bar with the lead singer of Platinum Blonde back in the early '90s. He is still around, DJing now I think.

That song was written at the Peel Pub in MTL when Ivan, lead singer of MWH, was totally frustrated and wanted a hit pop song. Safety Dance was primarily written by Ivan and a bunch of punks yelling out lyrics as he scribbled away on a a napkin. The rest is RNR history. MTL in the 80's what a scene...wooohoooo
