Here’s your chance to showcase your very own motorcycle clothing design ideas in Australian Road Rider magazine. If you win, your design will be made up by Tiger Angel Motorcycle Clothing (if feasible) and you will ride away on a fabulous Piaggio ZIP 50 Scooter.
Competition guidelines
Australian Road Rider/Universal Magazines has partnered with PS Importers, the distributor of Piaggio Scooters, and outstanding Australian motorcycle clothing manufacturer, Tiger Angel, to showcase the most innovative designs for motorcycle clothing for both men and women.
We want you to dazzle us with your flair and lateral thinking — after all, motorcycle clothing hasn’t changed all that much for decades. However, your design must be practical for the purpose of motorcycle riding and it should have safety features.
Here’s your opportunity to rethink motorcycle clothes and perhaps include those elements you consider missing from clothing today.
Your motorcycle clothing entries will be judged on the following criteria: stylishness, practicality, safety, originality and flair. What we are looking for is premium form with premium function.
The brief
• Design some type of motorcycle clothing in both men’s and women’s styles.
• All designs must be ORIGINAL IDEAS. Being original does not mean you can’t do an interpretation, or a re-do, of something you have seen in a book, magazine, movie or on TV — for instance, there have been many re-dos of the Star Trek uniforms. Just indicate what your inspiration was.
• You can draw your design on a traced figure or have someone else draw it for you. What we are interested in is the design idea, not how well you can draw. If someone else draws up your idea/s, give them credit. Whoever does it, please be neat.
• Fabric suggestions are OK to include and so are your colour palette choices.
• All designs must be photographed square-on and submitted as large size 300dpi PDFs or JPEG attachments. Include detail work or back views, too.
• We encourage you to submit your designs in colour.
• Enter as many designs as you wish and as often as you wish before the deadline of Friday 20, January 2012. If we like what we see we will contact you for more information and photographs as a finalist.
• Please identify the source of your inspiration, if any, in your accompanying email — whether from book, poem, movie, TV or your own imagination.
• Label your files with your name and number the entries. Send your entries via email to thebear@universalmagazines.com.au and make sure you give your name, address and contact details in the email.
• If we contact you to submit your original artwork, your designs will not be returned but you will retain all rights except: by submitting your designs to Australian Road Rider/Universal Magazines you agree to the publication of said designs in Australian Road Rider or on its website during and after the run of the competition.
• Enter as an individual or as a team.
• Enter as many designs as you wish (up to 12) before the competition closing date of Friday January, 20, 2012.
Judging 
A judging panel consisting of The Bear, Mark Berger of PS Importers and a representative of Tiger Angel Clothing will choose the finalists. Once the shortlist selection process has been completed the panel will choose the overall winner.
The prize
The finalists will see their names, design schools (if any) and photos of their designs published in Australian Road Rider magazine.
If it is suitable, the winning design will be made up by Tiger Angel Motorcycle Clothing free of charge.
The first prize is a fabulous Piaggio ZIP 50, Australia’s best-selling scooter. This will be delivered to the winner’s nearest dealer for collection. There will be no pre-delivery charges but the winner must bear the cost of the registration, CTP and insurance.

Ride away on a Piaggio ZIP 50 Scooter valued at $1790.
The ZIP 50 is Australia’s best-selling scooter and it’s no wonder. This little beauty has a height-adjustable seat, underseat storage for your full-face helmet, lockable glovebox and mobile compartment, wide footrest and bag hook. This reliable, electric/kickstart, twist-and-go scooter makes easy work of commuting. Its 50cc single-cylinder four-stroke makes 3kW of power and 4.3Nm of torque and easily keeps up with the traffic. At 95kg it’s so light that anyone can handle it and it is fitted with a front disc brake and rear drum. The ZIP also looks incredibly smart and comes in White, Black or Red.
