VBA northeast name

"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 · 11-21-2011, 08:09 PM

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

**Top Cat** · 11-22-2011, 04:40 PM

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/No...t_VBA_logo.jpg

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

**Top Cat** · 11-22-2011, 07:25 PM

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.

Loafer · 11-22-2011, 08:23 PM

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".

:)How about Tim's bar and grill?, oh crap how did I end up in here, sorry I'll leave now.

Northeast Hard Baggers

Vulcanaters

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** · 11-23-2011, 01:12 PM

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

Monkeyman · 11-23-2011, 03:48 PM

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?". :)

Bull Durham · 11-23-2011, 07:38 PM

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 · 11-23-2011, 08:02 PM

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** · 11-23-2011, 08:24 PM

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.
