Does anyone happen to have a higher-resolution version of that Suzuki PE t-shirt design that was floating around the old PE group?
I thought it was in Luke's OneDrive, but scanning through there on my mobile phone just now, I did not see it.
I think I have it saved on my computer somewhere, but wondered the source of it, and if there was a higher-resolution version or an original available to scan.
I have a friend or 2 in the screenprinting business and could possibly get some of these reproduced.

Brother Chuck; Somewhere, in the multitude of Western Digital Auto-Backups, from at least three different compromised laptops, there are a number of reproduction-friendly files (rastor, others) that I had professionally produced. I will endeavor to locate them in a timely matter and forward to you. Now, where is that ridiculous-looking cable.....? In the meantime, this is the community-produced image for public use and enjoyment of which you speak; right, my friend...? (See Attached) Father of the Bride (-28 days) Attachments:

My apologies, I should have been a little more clear about that, I was particularly looking for the vintage design Suzuki PE Enduro shirt with the dirt bike guy cartoon

Post the picture. I'll see what can be done. Also, do you know how to use images.google.com search? There is a slight chance it will find what you are talking about but maybe only the same resolution. |

This one? Close, but no, that's not the one either! The one that I'm searching for says Suzuki PE Enduro across the top and has a similar but more old-fashioned in black & white cartoon drawing similar to that drawing of Al Roof's cartoon. I'll see if I can get on my computer and do some digging here later and see if I saved it |

I found it on an old android phone of mine! I'll get on Wi-Fi and upload it here shortly to my Flickr account & post it here & on the PE group as well to see if anyone knows it's source and as a better resolution version of it.
EDIT - Oops, meant to delete this post, I just realized it does not seem possible to delete a post on this proboards forum

I FOUND IT! It was saved on an old Android phone of mine... Now, does anyone know where this image was from originally, or who may have been the original uploader of this scan? I'd love to make some retro ringer T-shirts of this design. One of my best friends got about 65% of his income from screen printing and managing band merchandise for touring bands, and is now 98% out of that line of work due to the nationwide lockdown on any large public gatherings. Luckily he's also a Subaru/Honda/Toyota mechanic as well... I'm sure I could convince him to edit the image for printing and do a run of shirts at some point here.

Oh wow, you're right, it is based on the same drawing! Some differences in it though, PE vs PE400 lettering, number plate lettering 1A vs blank, mustache vs no mustache, and the obvious large "SUZUKI PE ENDURO" lettering Who is Al Roof, and is he on this forum? I'd like to inquire about the 2 different versions of this drawing  |

I found Al's contact and got this response from him:
"I found the drawing for that, in black & white, on an iron-on T-shirt transfer on e-Bay almost twenty years ago. I bought the T-shirt, scanned it into my computer, removed the text, then colored it. I had it printed on jerseys for Bill Schaefer, the late Jesse McCarter, and me when we rode as Team Blue Ridge Pathfinders Suzuki at the 9th Annual Leroy Winters Memorial ISDT Reunion Ride in 2005."

Thanks to Al Roof's sole remaining scan of part of the original image, and Serge Coffa's editing based on an unused iron-on transfer photo and the original low resolution image which I posted, we now have most of the original restored! No PE250 or PE400 numerical designation on seat and no leaping frog, but this is awesome!  92817727_932134230539957_2164606480018309120_o by chuck_lambert78, on Flickr  93021060_932133880539992_1511979804184805376_o by chuck_lambert78, on Flickr After a good and probably accurate tip, I attempted to contact whom we believe may be the original artist prior to this restoration of most of the original cartoon, but his FB page had an auto reply set saying to email him for faster reply. Email bounced. His artist website was also down. Last FB post was 2015. He was quite senior to my 41yr old self, having drawn this image almost 40 years ago, and now seems to be no longer around or active sadly. Mark Wiggett, cartoonist, South Africa resident I believe.
