So, I have really been thinking lately that we need to spend more time on our business Idea, Sarah thinks we need to keep our idea on the down low so nobody will steal it so, I won't mention it. I don't know when your finals are down but I finish on Wed.. What I was thinking is we need to get together to from a plan of what we are going to do and how we are going to do it and when its going to get done by. I don't know if you are still open to this Idea I know that we just kinda talked about it. I have mentioned it to a few people and they all thought it was a good idea. I want to enlisted rich to do some homework and maybe help us with a business plan of some sort. And we have to get him soon because there is a good chance he will be moving out of state to work for some huge investment firm. We have a few problems, well I guess they are my problems. I don't have the software that I need. I don't know if you have this software or not. I don't think you do. My parents have some of the software (I think), my only other access is at work. I don't really like the idea of using work stuff for personal gain. Anyhow let me know what you are thinking and if you are really interested in doing this!! call me or reply to my post
Business Idea
I created this new forum area and moved your post here. We are the only ones who can see this area so say whatever you want.
Well, the business Idea that I was talking about was the building graphic kits. I couldn't find a kit for your quad so I will have to just figure out a way to trace your bike. I think that tracing paper will work. What do you think about this?
I wish I would have downloaded those kits when I saw them because I'm sure I saw them a few years ago. I can't find them anywhere now. I think tracing will work fine though.
Go figure, 2 minutes after you leave I find it.

I don't really like it. The C looks weird, but it was the best font I could find.
However, I will never claim to be an artist.
I don't know if you will like the Logo that I am working on! I will send you a PDF of it soon, so you can take a look at it and make changes if you want too. I am also going to try to come up with two other designs just in case you don't like this one.
I also thought of a genius way of getting our bikes mapped out! Well, there is this website called EBAY that sells all kind of graphic kits. SO, i was thinking of buying them off EBAY and then putting it back up on EBAY after we scan them in. This way we can start to get every bike out there without lifting a finger. The only down side is we might not get as much money as we wanted for the kits so we would be out a few bucks here and there! What do you think?
That actually sounds like a pretty good idea. It won't matter if the kit is ugly, so long as it gives us a pattern.
I went ahead and bought a kit last night off ebay. I is a ugly kit but it will work and it has way more than just the shroud kit. I will probably need your help reselling it on ebay, or it might be really easy and im just clueless. I have only bought stuff
Did you buy the kit for your bike or something else?
There is a kit for a z400 online right now. I'll try bidding in a few hours and see if I can sneak past the other guy for not too expensive. Right now its looking like about $40 for the bid + $10 for shipping.
Sweet happy bidding! We need to look into what kit we want to build next. I bought the kit for my bike because I want to get mine built. I ended up paying $53 with shipping and handling. We need to set up a time again to talk things over.
My graphic kit just showed up in the mail box. I need to bring it over so we can scan it into the comp. The kit pretty much sucks but it came with a seat cover, fork, airbox, shroud, and fender graphics. So I need to scan those in and get designing.
How does saturday look? Or I guess you could just bring them to work, and I can scan them and then send you the scans.
Yeah, I will have to figure something out! We should go riding on Saturday, But I have this lingering thought that I have something going on!!! I think I will bring them to work, but maybe I will come over on saturday for the excuse so we can hangout.
Sounds good to me. I will have some homework on saturday. So if we do ride I probably can't hang out afterwards. It's gonna have to be one or the other I think.
I'll try to get this scanned tonight. Might be tricky since it's gonna be a bit too big for my scanner, but we'll get it to work.
Thanks, I figured you will have to scan half in then scan the other half. I have done it before with other things so if its too much let me know and maybe I can go to my parents and use the scanner that "doesn't work" But thanks for doing that for me bro. I need to start looking for a good Z kit to buy so we can get started on your!!
It doesn't fit on my scanner very well. I had to do 3 scans, and then I found out they weren't perfectly lined up. Hopefully you can do something with these images. If someone has a bigger scanner it would be nice. It's really hard to line up a non square image.
Hey, send me the font you use for 4 wheeler Cowboy title.
Also will you bring the graphic kit to work tomorrow so I can use it to lay the proof on to see how it matches. I think it will be easier to do that first to work out the kinks, then try it on the bike.
Sorry man I didn't read this till just now. I'll bring the kit tomorrow.
You can grab the font "here":/files/Cracked.tgz
Well, bro. I laid the proof onto the light table and its pretty dang close. Close enough to work. The only problem is I have stripped the whole kit to get rid of all the background stuff I was picking up. So, I have to hurry and figure out how to get all the background back in there and then call around and see who has the best pricing.
Sounds awesome man. I'll try to get my Z template after I finish School this week.
Mike, How hard would it be to build a site like this www.brociety.com? Could we us 4 Wheeler cowboy's as a template?
I have been givin admin rights to motorsportsofutah.net and he said I could do whatever I wanted with the website. I also mentioned to him about you maybe getting a free pipe and he didn't object to the idea!! Right know I can give you guys 10% mark up from dealer price which is pretty dang good.
That's sweet. We'll have to come up with some ideas on doing the Pipe site.
DUDE, the more i think about it the more i like how MacHeist is set up! I love how easy it flows and how its not stuffed with info.
I am unable to post a new topic. Apparently you where trying to kill me off.
Try now.
