35 pounds for a Tee shirt? Really?
'73 850 COMMANDO
'74 850 COMMANDO
Restored the '74 and restoring the '73 this year.
I have 2 parts to buy. Now, if I can only find $5000 lying about.

Do you think that's expensive? The £35 GBP does include 20% UK VAT which you shouldn't have to pay outside the EU.

In a world where $20 t-shirts are expensive it's certainly at the high end.
You probably want to go into town, and find a up to date Jap Bike store,
With a full spares department, a clean workshop, and kean young mechanics.
And ask them if theres a Grumpy Old Bloke out in the Hills, who knows how to fix Real Motorcycles.

That converts to $53 USD, Assuming I would be charged a VAT.

Even at 35 USD that is too much. You throw shipping in the mix and now you have a tee shirt which should only be worn on special occasions and then dry cleaned at an authentic Chinese laundry and stored sealed in plastic in a climate controlled locked closet.

I do like it though.

A designer tee shirt could easily cost £100+GBP so £35 doesn't seem all that bad.
