Cool stuff. Too bad Susan doesn't surf Modern Buddy often enough....
Honey? This would make a nice stocking stuffer...better than the socks you gave me last year...not that I'm complaining....

Way cool. Meow.

Where'd you find that?

Duh. Didn't see the link.

I think the person who owns this shop is a MV or MB member (maybe both?).

Why not just shoot it into a program and print out a decal?

Because that would be stealing someone else's artwork. Also, the CafePress decals are printed and coated so they don't fade and won't run when they get wet.

Yes--it is Evil Scooter Kitty. Justgottascoot.com* has some cool stuff.

Manuals for products which they produce and own the rights to? It's their property, so why wouldn't they be free to do that?

(Apologies for the following mini-rant, but this is a touchy subject for me...)

I know that in the Internet days there's a prevailing attitude that if you can download it, it's yours to do whatever you like with it. That's just not true. I work as a magazine art director and do illustration as a freelancer. I can't grab any photo off a web page and run it in a magazine. And I wouldn't want someone grabbing a jpg of an illustration I did and printing it on a sticker or t-shirt. First off, it's illegal. But more importantly, it devalues my work.

Designs and artwork are generally the property of their creators unless rights have been granted to another party. Usage of that artwork is controlled by the rights holder. Downloading and printing art for personal or commercial use is basically stealing unless the art has been explicitly provided for such use or unless permission has been granted by the owner.

+1, Eric.

Back on topic, I'm wondering how that sticker would look on this:

I made a decal of the kitty and put it on whatever that is and it didn't look so hot . By the way what is that?
I had reasonably good intentions when I added my 2 cents worth to this site.Searching for any probs to expect w/ my newly acquired PGO,attempting to interject a little humor when possible and now find myself at odds w/ peeps who are too serious and lacking in their ability to
find enough practical advise pertaining to Buddy upkeep possibly because there aren't enough prolems to document yet. What a diatribe concerning a petty piece of kitty crap.....! Original artwork .....NOT!
MOPED ARMY was many times more helpful from a repair/maintain point of view but hey
that's just my opinion. Good luck! I ain't givin' up though.

I guess when people steal from you its OK? Doesn't bother you at all?
No big deal if someone nicks your Buddy?

Sorry but suggesting stealing someone elses work is not quite the way to "interject a little humor when possible" As a semi-professional photographer I am quite familiar with people trying to steal...yes STEAL my work.

Watching out for our fellow scooterists???? yep..were pretty serious about that!!!!

Mudflap?

Asking for advice on Buddy-related issues is perfectly fine. That's the main reason this forum exists. Everyone on here appreciates new and cool stuff, so we post that here as well.

I originated this post because I find an item that I thought was cool. I have no problem with purchasing said item and putting it on my ride. I would purchase it because I respect the right of said item's creator to offer the item to the public and make a small profit from the sale of said item. It's a win win situation.
If I had the means to create something and offer it to the public, I would.
But I can't so I won't. It is what it is.
