Folks,

Way back in the mists of time, I sold some Boxertrix Tee-shirts and fleeces to the users of this fine site. That involved finding a manufacturer, gauging interest, ordering a bunch of stuff and my expense and selling it on to you. The problem with this model was that I needed to make bulk orders to get the best price, so it was a fairly infrequent occurrence to make these shirts available. It also left me out of pocket as I never did end up selling all of the stock.

The world has moved on since then, and I have found a company called Teespring who offer a print on demand service for tee-shirts, fleeces and mugs. I simply upload a design and create a store front on their site, where anyone can order shirts and mugs in their choice of style, size and colour, and they will be produced and sent directly to you. This also allows me to define a small mark up on the production costs, which comes back to me to help cover the hosting costs for this very site. This means that you now have a way to contribute to the site running costs, whilst also receiving some goods, rather than just the rosy glow of satisfaction from helping me out with a donation.

If you would like to take a look at what is on offer, the shop is live here. I have uploaded two slightly different designs, one prominently featuring an R1100S Boxercup, and the other a black R1200S. Both designs have a selection of four other bikes under the Boxertrix logo. There is also a mug featuring 4 different bikes and the Boxertrix logo.

I appreciate that these a a little pricier than your average teeshirt, but bear in mind around £5 of each item's cost will contribute to the running costs of this site. I have also picked the better quality material for each shirt, where an option existed. If you like the gear, you will be helping me fund the hosting of this site by buying something. If you don't like the gear, then you are under no obligation to purchase any of it. I won't be offended Please take a look though and let me know what you think.

All the best,

Paul

Paul, you must have caught me at a weak moment... I made a purchase , I'll let you know if/ when i receive it what I think

Nice work Nigel!

I do like the look of that BCR tee Paul, good work Mate. Let me know how you get on @nab 301

Paul, very good!! Any chance you could get the black 1200S with black rocker covers, then it would match my bike -well, apart from the LED indicators, R&G number plate holder, carbon mudguard, clear front indicator lenses and belly pan

I want some fresh Boxertrix stickers Paul I'll PM details when I get sorted - just got in off the bog roll express and I'm knucking fackered

Will do , the economists say we have to spend our way out of recession....

I've just received my mug and christened it while wondering if I should have placed it in quarantine ... I guess the clothing will take a bit longer .
Thanks Paul .

Happy to help, Nigel. What do you think of the print quality of the mug? I'm quaffing my coffee from one right now.

I had a message from Teespring to say that some orders are taking a little longer to print and dispatch at the mo' because they are on reduced staffing levels due to social distancing requirements. Please let us know when you receive your shirts so we can get a realistic idea of current waiting time for them.

All the best,

Paul

The print quality is ok considering that there's 4 bikes on it . The resolution/ clarity on the black 12S probably isn't as good as the lighter coloured 11S but the only other printed mug I have to compare at the moment is an Enfield version with only one bike back and front so obviously a larger image . Overall 9/10
I also got the email about the delays , I'm not exactly in a rush !

Well, they are not exactly flying off the shelves at the moment. Did I miss the memo about tee-shirts and mugs going out of fashion, or is it just my designs are not up to scratch? If you have any suggestions for alternative designs, I'd be happy to hear them.

Cheers,

Paul

Hi Paul

Your enterprise is to be commended ,spurred me into action, mug order now placed

all the best

Folks, I have added a new design for the teeshirts, with a more subtle version of the Boxertrix logo and more bikes. Hopefully, this one tickles your collective fancy a bit more than the original designs.



You can order them up here

Cheers,

Paul

Paul , I just rcvd my T shirt order yesterday (05 June) thanks . That new design certainly does float my boat more so than the original but I think I'll restrain myself for the moment!

I went for the long sleeve dark coloured tee. The T shirt is ok , the Boxertrix logo is good and the Boxercup model logo is good , the other bikes possibly because I chose the darker Tee aren't quite as well defined. Not a complaint just an observation, I'm happy to donate to the forum /Paul because over the years I've managed to maintain my R11S myself with help from everyone on here and have potentially saved £000's in dealer labour costs , the added bonus is I now have a couple of bespoke items to go with my bike ! I'm sure it's value will increase exponentially with these unique items!
