I definitely do not like surprises and usually make informed decisions before making a purchase. However, given that the poster is only $20, and that I like to support the folks at RBW, I had no problems ordering the poster sight unseen. I'm just outside of Los Angeles so I'm hoping it'll arrive sometime this week.
I will point out that I was not pleased with one of the recent "surprise" products from RBW. Does anyone remember that super secret and amazing garment that would revolutionize riding? I remember reading a couple of Blug posts with a presale on a sight unseen product---which ultimately was a MUSA Windshield. I really thought that was a failed attempt but I don't fault the guys for trying. Back on topic with the poster. High quality prints of contemporary artwork usually will run out about $20-50 depending on the paper and print quality. Having seen some of the art work on DLG's web site, I think $20 SHIPPED is a drop in the bucket to support his work. Can't wait until mine arrives!

I can't imagine how much time and effort was put into meticulously adding in all of the detail. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
