How would you copy it?

I cant take it to blueprint places, or any typical copy or printing place. all they have are roller printers, and they dont want to try and put 1/8 inch foam poster board through a machine meant for paper.

I need a bed scanner.

I dont know about the pics. It would be hard to do, and I dont have the equipment or the expertise to do that.....


Im emailing places in Denver and Ft. Collins to try and find a bed scanner. Even if it cost me 100 bucks or more, It will be worth it. I dont want some crappy zerox style copys out there. this things worth doing right.

How about having it scanned for 175 and printed at the cheaper place Then charge enough for each copy to recoup your expenses. Id be in for one as well

thats a last resort. Im looking for a bed scanner.

Thanks for the support guys! I think with just the people on this thread I could cover the cost!
Like I said.. I dont want to make money off it..... Just share the coolness that IS Kawi!

If you guys click on the pic, you can see what the caption is. It tells the drivers and the class of each bike.


I want to know what the final outcome is of each bike....
I think this pic is 79 season, probably released in 79/80 season.

There is an old racer here in town at a place called Capitol Motorcycles. He raced in the late 50's 60's and early 70's. Then he started a kawi/ducati/ dealership in cheyenne. he might know!

its gonna cost me proximately 15 bucks to have them printed and shipped. so if I sold them for 30 each I would have to sell about 15 of them to break even....


A quick count was about 17 or 18 in just this thread.....
hmmmmm Might have to go back and talk to that dude with the scanner for 175 bucks.....
IF i cant find a bed scanner in a week or two!

Right on dude! Its 3 foot by 4 foot! Thats the actual poster. This one is mouted on a board that has a 2 inch or 2.5 inch border around it.

I might have found a place in Ft. Collins that could scan it. I got a lead from another print shop....
My problem with this isnt getting it printed, rather but getting it scanned in.....

Well I checked into our proofer size and its only 24 inches so that kills that. Maybe look into a sign maker they may have large scanners and maybe able to print too such as banner makers.
Good Luck and keep us in the know. B)

Im tracking down one place in ft. collins that might be able to scan it for me. If i cant find a place, my buddy said that If I could get a professional photographer to photograph it, and I could email it to him he would go in and edit it in photoshop to make it look good for me.
I got a couple options on the table. Im not in a hurry to do this, but ill get it done!
If anyone really really really wants one, please email me @

ibuiltmine @ gmail.com


And I will put you on the list!
