Hi Prewarbsa,

I guess that your comment is meant for me, but I did not really get the message, is the name and address someone I should contact concerning the patches , or...?

4064 visits to this topic, the forum record. I guess you must have sold 4064 pairs of emblems too 

[Nitti]

That's great, I wish I had sold 4064, but, no..
However I have sold about 60, still having about 40 in stock , waiting for the X-mas rush 

As you know I'm only doing this for the fun of it, and it is great to see the spread of orders, I'm going global , my main markets are, in volume-order  ;

1. Australia
2. United Kingdom
3. USA
4. Germany
5. New Zealand,France, Switzerland, Denmark, Norway

Sweden ; no orders so far (apart from my own), odd and interesting, particularly since te BSAOC is quite active here and there are several Golden Flashes on the road but I guess they are focussing on the mechanics only, and not bothering about the rest.

Take care
Nitti

Hello,

When visiting ebay today I noted that a Hong Kong based company are selling my Golden Flash patches, the black/gold ones , at least they look identical.

I guess that I should be proud to be copied !


The firm I used for the patches is based in Sweden, I guess that they use an East-asian contractor for the manufacturing and the pattern-software has been "made available" for commerical use.


I do not intend to make a fuss of this, since I do not have any Intellectual Property Rights , and if I had it would not be worthwhile anyhow.

The reason for mentioning this is that I had the patches made without any thoughts of making any profit, just for the fun of it and as a contribution to the Golden Flash community world-wide, made available through this forum.

Regards

Nitti

lol, you should feel proud! Maybe someone looked at the viewing stats for this topic and imagined GF patches must be very big business. Strange really, that this is by far the nr 1 read on the whole forum, long way down to nr 2.

1. Embroided Golden Flash Patch for your jacket ?  5772
2. smiths chronometric speedo guide   3395
3. What goes in this hole then?   3136

You might be entitled to royalties Nitti
BSA might ask for some to though

[Nitti]

Thanks guys, I needed a little moral support when someone is stealing my bread and butter 

Yes , the statistics is fantastic, I just wish that I had the same number of buyers, but I am very happy with the sales, I ordered 100 patches and still have some left.
What I am most happy with is the geograpic spread, all continents are on the list (apart from Antarctica and Arctica).

The high number of vistitors indicates that there is a general interest in the forum for badges/patches and perhaps that should be recognized.

I know that there is an interest for other type of patches eg Super Rocket.
I was also thinking of a more specific A7/A10 patch that would suit everyone in the community, what do you think, any ideas about the design of such patch , keep the ideas flowing.

See Ya

I suppose the most obvious would be a patch in the shape of the timing case,
but whilst the real thing makes for a lovely looking engine. I dont think it would work very well as a patch.
Cheers,
Iain

I don't know about that, Iain. It could be very cool with some extra touches. However, the first round of patches was inspired directly by BSA emblems, giving those some additional cache'. In any case, if a timing cover version comes out, I'm up for at least one.

Yes, it is amazing how many views the forum gets. Of course, kudos to Erling, though, one could deduce that the increasing scarcity of our bikes and parts could, in part, be due to encouraging new enthusiasts who now see a massive amount of support for bikes they may have previously avoided for lack of same. At the same time, potentially making our own bikes more valuable. (Erling, you're making worlds shake!)

Anyway all this is just chatter while I ride a slow local train home from Chicago.

Cheers and happy 4th to US members. UK members, don't take it personally! LOL.

After re-reading my post, just let me say that I am most pleased that our membership has grown to include such a large number of owners and enthusiasts. (That could have been taken the other way, I suppose.) It makes for great fun, diversity and an amazing wealth of information and a collection of pictures not previoulsy available anywhere.
