Everyone has em. Ya know, the one's you were every weekend at the track and are even guilty of occasionally wearing out in public to the dismay of your SO. So which ones you love most? I'm particularly attached to my Marmo shirt, Team Kinetic shirt (even though Rob won't give me one of the cool grey ones), one of my Barber shirts, and an old Suzuki shirt I picked up at the Suzuki Cup Finals back a few years ago. Never been to a pro race so don't have any cool pro team or event swag.
First year Barber AMA shirt (2004?)...back when it was the HONDA sponsored event. Miguel on number 17.
My Motoliberty HRC RS125 shirt is my favorite that I still have. I used to have a 1/4ley/ Renfrow suzuka 8 hrs tshirt but that turned to dust.
I have an Indy Cycle Jam shirt from, I think, 1994 (no year printed on it). Was working with Virginia Breeze Racing at the time and was the first time our bike was used for an event shirt. I have an AMA event shirt from VIR from 2003 that I was wearing at the 2004 event. We were talking to Chris Ulrich and he laughed when he saw that they used a picture of him for the 2003 event shirt, but, instead of having 18 on the front number plate, they just used a 1. Chris grabbed a sharpie and added the 8.
Ah, another would be my Star-gel hawaiian crewshirt. You'd be surprised the number of people who reconized what it was the time I wore it to the local shopping maul.
Early 90's Sunshine State Nationals with with Donald Jacks on the back. Haven't worn it since he died, though.
I've got a couple Harley flat track t-shirts from around 1994, when I worked at a Harley dealer in Kansas City. One might even be for the Sedalia half mile that only lasted a few years around then.
Maybe one of these days I'll make it to a pro event, like an Indy GP, and pick up some cool stuff. Used to be fairly attached to my old TGPR shirt, but considering how cruel that place has been to me for the last 3 years, I'm a bit less attached now. Oh almost forgot about my signed Bayliss and Bostrom tees. Gotta love those.
Yeah, I've got a classic...... A WERA Putnam Park T-shirt! My wife has tried to throw it out 10 times but I always head her off and snag it from the garbage. It's hidden now.
I got a rare Mid Atlantic Motorsports Complex t shirt. That's the track Dennis Macchio was trying to build over in Riverhead to replace The Bridge. I have a good selection of shirts from Bryar Motorsports Park, too.
How about a shirt from the last Wera 24 hours, which was at Willow Springs, 2000 I think. After staying up from Saturday morning to Sunday night (the crew stayed up, riders left and went back to the hotel) I was not leaving without a souvenir. It used to be glow-in-the dark but that washed out of it a long time ago.
I have a few Wera GNF shirts from the 90's. I never throw anything away especially an old moto shirt.
My old school cmra tank top that my does not fit me, so my wife wears it and gets hit on by dudes thinking she is a racer. my old kawasaki ninja shirt! does not fit me, and yes my stole that one also! I got a lawson shirt somewhere also...cool shirt!
