There are days when a shirt like that would fit my mood to a T (pun
intended)

My prize possession, second only to my unicycle itself, is a T shirt from
The Unicycle Factory, featuring a nice graphic of "Guilford Goforit", a
maniacal barefooted youth tearing along on a unicycle with a fat whitewall
tire and a gearshift. One hand rests on the gearshift knob, pinky extended.
His eyes are bulging, his forehead is low and he has buckteeth. His tongue
hangs out and trails backward in the breeze and he is salivating profusely.
The caption says:

"The Unicycle Factory--Where Dreams become Rideable"

Unfortunately, this T shirt is almost sold out and there are currently
no plans to make more. The silkscreen has been destroyed.

Thanks to John Foss and others, we have a good supply of material
to work with. I would like to collaborate on a T shirt project if
enough interest is expressed from people on this list.

For example, how about a graphic of some macho guy riding
a unicycle with the caption "Real Men Don't NEED Two Wheels!"

Or a labeled diagram of a unicycle with the caption "There is NO SUCH
THING as a 'One Wheeled Bicycle'"

Or "It's not a Bike, It's a Yike!"

Or

No, I didn't lose a wheel.

I FOUND a wheel.


We need a really good idea (better than my poor attempts) and
enough people interested in purchasing one. Also some artist type to create
the graphic. If done as a non-profit project, the price would be incredibly
low per shirt. Any profit could go to the IUF treasury for UNICON expenses
or the like. There are plenty of custom T shirt shops that will take a graphic
and produce the actual product. We could start with an order of 50, that
would outfit everyone on this list with at least one. Wear it to your next
unicycling gathering and create more demand.
