Classic motorcycle stickers

THINK BIKE bumper sticker  - £1.95 plus P&P

We don't have to explain this sticker, except to add that we wanted to put our own stamp on an old message. The sticker is made of vinyl. The dimensions are 210 x 40mm. It's designed to sit on your rear bumper (or wherever you can fit it) and help drive home the familiar message that drivers (in particular) need to look EXTRA HARD for motorcycles. We included the Sump goggles device to help reinforce the vision/motorcycle thing.

Note: postage and packing is free when combined with other orders. Discount will be applied either automatically on purchase, or when we review the order.

IDIOTS TAILGATE bumper sticker - £1.95 plus P&P

Tailgating is one of the main causes of traffic accidents (and one of our pet peeves). It isn't simply that the fool behind is driving so close that he actually runs into you. It's also a problem because tailgaters are a major distraction, which means that the tailgatee (to coin a new word) is more likely to run into the vehicle ahead of him or her, or make some other error.

In short, tailgating kills.

We've been hit on two wheels and on four. So we're fighting back. Yes, it's probably bows and arrows against the lightning. But it's either this, or doing nothing (until they licence handguns and make murder legal). So come and join our mini-crusade aimed at making the roads a little safer. The dimensions are 210mm x 45mm. The material is vinyl. Will suit boot/tailgate or bumper.

Note: postage and packing is free when combined with other orders. Discount will be applied either automatically on purchase, or when we review the order.

CAUTION: FRONT & REAR CAMERAS bumper sticker - £1.95 plus P&P

Do we really have cameras on our own vehicles? We certainly do (see this Sump Comment piece for details). We also wear helmet cameras whenever we're on the road, and the cameras have paid off more than once. We're talking hard cash here. Moreover, our cameras have led to at least a couple of prosecutions (and have jerked the leads of numerous silly truckers).

Of course, cameras don't make everyone moderate their behaviour. But they do inhibit many drivers from doing stupid things on the road, and we recommend investing in the available technology (which is cheaper every day, and with higher and higher resolution). But even if you haven't yet splashed out for an in-car/on-bike camera system, you can still wear a sticker and bluff it (Tip: Get a proper camera sooner rather than later).

These stickers are made of vinyl. The dimensions are 210mm x 45mm. The material is vinyl. Will suit boot/tailgate or bumper, or even a top box.

Shame that we have to live in a world where we need security cameras. But that's the world we live in. Get over it.

Note: postage and packing is free when combined with other orders. Discount will be applied either automatically on purchase, or when we review the order.

STOP: Broken neck?

helmet sticker

£1.95 (pair) plus P&P
 

Yes, it's a grim sticker. No one wants to be reminded of the fact that motorcycling carries risks. But everything we do has inherent dangers, and we need to be aware of that fact.

This particular risk concerns the dangers of removing a crash helmet at the scene of a road accident. Most "first responders" and even members of the public are pretty savvy about not making matters worse, but we ain't taking any more chances than we have to. Nor should you.

Note: postage and packing is free when combined with other orders. Discount will be applied either automatically on purchase, or when we review the order.

UPDATE: Concerns have been raised regarding helmet stickers. Some feel that the problem of further injury due to helmet removal (following an accident) is overstated—meaning that in some instances it might well be necessary to remove a lid to check if an injured rider is breathing or choking. We agree with that. Broadly. Our advice is to explore the variety of information before making a sticker purchasing decision. And maybe we should clarify a point; if a rider is lying in the road following a smash and is otherwise safe and comfortable, we suggest risking no further harm until a qualified (whatever that means) first responder is at the scene. We also suggest that riders should attend a suitable training course such as the Biker Down! scheme. Google it and see what's currently available.

Sump logo sticker

75p plus P&P

This Sump logo is black and silver (as opposed to the more usual black and white). It's no big deal, but we tried both colours on our lids and bikes (and elsewhere), and we thought black and silver looked best. That's all.

But you can stick 'em any place you like (and we mean that in the nicest possible way).

They're made of vinyl, are 70mm wide, and will (a) help advertise your favourite web magazine, (b) will help remind you to come back soon and see what's new and what's been happening, and (c) will help you get rid of all that pocket metal you're carrying around.

We're asking 75p each plus 50 pence postage and packing (but postage is free when combined with other orders).

Okay?
