VBA northeast name

[fish]

"Times are a changing" by Bob Dylan;). In case you didn't know our name with KawaNOW was the "Northeast Nomaddicts" Now with VBA we should come up with a new name, something clever. I thought of a couple names but lets hear what you can think of. Then we can vote a new name.

What's wrong with just "Northeast USA"

[Loafer]

Haven't a clue, but keeping it simple would be nice.
I vote for TC's 'Northeast USA'.

[Top Cat]

Other regions are trying to come up with names for their region.
Do we need a name or can we go with NorthEast USA.

Like this http://www.vulcanbagger.org/logos/NorthEast_VBA_logo.jpg

If you guys want a cutesy name then lets have some suggestions.

[Top Cat]

Another thing, we don't have to have baggers in the name. We can call ourselves anything we want.
Anybody want to jump in here.

How about something really bad, that way everyone that didn't contribute here will have something to bitch about.

"Badass biker's in the Northeast".

Keep in mind this is going on a patch we'll be wearing. Anything too "cutesy" might cause some to not wear a patch. Sorry, but I'm not very creative.

[Top Cat]

I hear ya Chris.
Just my personal opinion but I don't think we need a name.
I think this is good enough.

Of course we are open to suggestions and as I stated before, the words Vulcav or Bagger need not be in the name.
NorthEast Cruzers
NorthEast Rally Riders
NorthEast riders for Ice Cream

Even just "NorthEast" would suffice. Even if we rode into Canada, most of the world would know we were from the US since we don't end every sentence with "EH?". :)

I like keeping it simple, too. The logo looks nice, but has a lot of redundancy with the "V" and the "Vulcan", four to be in fact.

I also notice that on the left side of the tire, it is showing either a chain or a belt. Which models have belt / chain between the Nomad / Vaquero / Voyager?

[Bull Durham]

After looking at it more, I think the "North East" and USA should be much, much smaller. North East is just a region where you are from, it should be secondary to the group, unless you are a motorcycle gang and are trying to claim your territory or staking your territory. The empathize should be on the group / club, which is the VBA, showing the unity of a worldwide organization, not overpowered by the region.

Just my thoughts..........

[Top Cat]

Bull, the bike on the logo is a Vaquero. It has been Trips favorite since it was introduced so there is no changing that.
The newer Nomad / Vaquero / Voyager all are belt drive and that is what you see on the logo.
I don't think we are allowed to change anything on the patches except the name.
You have some valid points, thanks for the input.

[ringadingh]

I don't think 99% of the people will ever pick up on the belt drive thing.

[Loafer]

There is a history of smugglers in our region.
Northeast Smugglers

Ask trip to shrink the word Northeast slightly. I only see the word Vulcan twice here. I have the Vulcan with the V symbol on the back of one of my helmets.
