Posters, Signs & Prints

The Aerostich factory in Duluth, MN is a destination for many riders every year, and many have asked about postcards, so we had these made to meet that request. A neat line-art drawing of our building and a map grace the front. Flip it over for a little company history and some space to write an address and a little note to mail some moto greetings to family, friends and fellow riders. Wish you were here... 4.25" x 6".

A few years ago a customer sent us a postcard featuring this 'Motorbike Monster' painting by award-winning German artist Michael Sowa. Art can be very subjective, so we’ll leave it up to you to as to the meaning of this one, but we thought it was cool enough to share. The title of the original is “Ohne titel zwei”, which translates to “Without title two”...leaving it open to even further interpretation. Regardless of that, it seems like Michael understands a bit about riding’s relationship to our inner lives. If this painting speaks to you, or if you know a rider who might enjoy it, get them a framed 8.5x11" print mounted in a classic black 11"x14" frame with mat, or prominently display the large 29"x20" poster print on the wall in your home, office, garage or workshop.

That cool bike you've got sitting between your legs is officially recognized by the U.S. Federal Government as much more than an amusing toy. These are exact replicas of the signs above the HOV lanes across the freeways of California. They are a reminder that motorcycles are given extra privileges because riding them is social good. We all know that. Unfortunately most of your neighbors don’t. They’re positive motorcycles are self-indulgent toys -- Including yours. Let them know all fifty states have a totally different view, and have installed signs like these above our busiest and most congested roads to announce and declare: MOTORCYCLES OK. Officially. No equivocation. The government knows that choosing riding helps all of us, every time a rider gets on their motorcycle instead of getting into a car. (...thanks Brian)

The famous Hunter S. Thompson quote, reflected in Ralph Steadman art. Steadman’s work relationship with Thompson was special. Framed 8.5"x11" print with white matte.

This framed list of "top ten" is a collection of hints and tips that will (hopefully) inspire you to get out there and ride more, farther, and with greater frequency. Packed with nuggets gleaned from experience in everyday riding and printed on antique-looking vellum. Framed 8.5"×11".

How many days would you like to ride? Based on a formula that includes selected ambient temperature ranges when riding with Aerostich gear, this colorful map portrays a fascinating representation of the annual number of rideable days easily achievable annually throughout the United States. 38"×26"

ABOUT THIS MAP...

Statistics for the average daily and seasonal temperatures in thousands of locations are available from the US Department of Agriculture to help farmers know what kinds of crops to plant and when to harvest.

The different sizes of the numbers on the map correspond to the populations of the cities listed. In other words, a large number like Los Angeles have a lot of people, and the average low and high temps used by this formula are seldom exceeded there, so this city has lots of ridable days. In contrast, cities like Phoenix AZ and Duluth MN each have different size numbers based on their differing populations, but similarly few ridable days because in those places so many days are by this formula on average either too hot or too cold.

The high and low temperatures used (95°F and 25°F / 35°C and -3.8°C) are based on the temperatures which are easy to dress for with Aerostich gear. It’s always been comparatively simple to ride through temperatures between 95°F and 25°F over urban distances.
