Hey guys, former moto guy turned Racecar driver but my passion still bleeds in moto. Currently in the middle of a PW 80 build some of you have been following for my little guy.

I graduated from OU Business School last year in the middle of COVID and the job market was shaky at best for a new grad. I took a job at a company I didn’t gel with but it opened me open to the promo products industry. I got offered another job in November and took it. But right after quitting my other job they informed me they were pushing my start date to the end of January. I didn’t have much in the reserves so I started doing custom masks through a vendor I was close with to pay for Christmas and our biggest racecar race of the year. That side huddle quickly turned into a monster. So much so that I decided not to start that job in the end of January and start my own company doing promotional products. I’ve expanded beyond the masks that were my bread and butter, to now selling over 50 different products. We have pop up canopies, banners, rubber mats, flags, blankets, carpets and more! Adding to the site every week. I know this is a shameless plug, but the racecar industry has been great supporting my start up and I wanted to see if I could latch onto the moto family as well. We have already done a 10x20 pop up for the Dirt Bike Depo guys that I believe they will have up with 3-5 guys under it at a few Supercross’s. Check out our website! Thanks for the people who have already ordered! 2kpromotional.com

The American dream. I periodically need new displays for my company's projects. I bookmarked your web address and I'm happy to divert future business to a fellow moto bro. Good luck!

I appreciate it man! We have a ton of display options. Some of them I haven’t figured out coding wise to be able to customize on the website, but if you need anything promo or display, contact me and I can do it 99% of the time.

Major respect and props to you. I am so jealous of people who do this, while I still slog away for corporate America every day.

Yeah.....you "slog" away and in return they provide benefits, paid vacation, a salary/hourly pay, and basically guaranteed employment. Sounds terrible to me.

All "corporations" are just small businesses that did it better and then create jobs, tax revenue etc etc.

Do you plan to specialize in more race centric items? Things geared more towards this and other racing types?

Are there items more geared towards moto? Like what? Might make cool gifts for friends and Christmas

To an extent. I saw someone posted the track map carpets and blankets. We can do those. We are gearing up to do the nice rubber backed carpet mats similar to the matrix ones for under your bike or in your shop. Most of the items we have the freedom of a blank canvas not so different than Canvas gear. Right now we are doing only custom, but we intend to also have a shop on the website with premade stuff. I’ve tried to leave everything but the masks open to one off orders and make it economical.

We are also working on car covers for the racecar guys that have their full graphics on them to match the car. At some point I’d like to do them for the motocross bikes too.

Have any wacky arm inflatable guys?
We can do anything you can put a logo on. In total honesty we haven’t done a wacky inflatable are guy yet, but I can track down a line on them through the vendors I use.

We’ve been doing these for the racecar trailers but I have had a few orders the last week for moto guys, I guess the word has gotten out. Thought I would share here. They are all laser cut and custom made, so shoot me your trailer or van dimensions and we will get one worked up!
