...KawaNOW will become Vulcan Bagger Association (VBA)... - Page 3

Is there still a stock of KawaNOW bling available? I would be interested in a patch or 2.

I do find it curious though that there are folks on these forums that don't even own a Kawasaki motorcycle.

They are those that used to own a Nomad. Now they are "Enthusiasts".

I believe there are some patches and stuff left. Better get it now while you can.

And yep Mark, I will be reissuing new certs, but I'll have to ask everyone to re-request it. That way, I'll have their email again.

How would you like us to request the new certificates? Is there a certain address you would like us to send the requests to?
This has to be a lot of hard work so in advance thank for all the hard work you and your team is putting in!!

Sounds like a wiener to me!!

This change seems necessary to me since we have now included Voyagers and Vaquero's. The vote of which Trip speaks regarding the new organizational name was pretty overwhelming if favor of the VBA. I like it...and I'll like it even more when we start to see some of the new t-shirts and patches that will soon follow. It's still all the same people...heck....newbies come and old reliables disappear every now and then....but the core of the group remains the same. We'll still have to put up with BD and Alabama's pointless posts....

and with the switch to the new forum....it makes tremendous sense in the bigger picture. So fear not....all is well in the Vulcan Bagger world...

You deserve a hug for this post Chris but they don't have a hug Smilie, so I thought I'd give you something close

What about VBA.NET?

I am NOT happy.

I know alot of you will disagree the way I feel.

I feel that Trip may have been pressured by MaKaw to change the name.

We are NOMAD owners (at least I am). KawaNOW is for NOMADS. So why the change. I thought we had something good going on. We have had a lot of change here and I feel the board is now getting disjointed. I don't feel like we are as close as we were and now with the board NAME change, I feel it is going to get worse. I had a great time on the OLD board, KAWANOW and with this new change, I am starting to feel lost and not as connected.

Very disappointed.

AlabamaNomadRider · 11-16-2011, 09:04 PM

It was nice while it lasted. Something special for the Nomads. Life goes on and then it is gone.

Just for the record...I voted for "The artist formerly known as KawaNOW"

I kinda understand where you are coming from Rhys. Sometimes I wish back for the days when there were just a handful of us...and I am talking less than 15 or 20. But it was started to grow and to change. Now, at the Rally's and online I have met so many great people that I would have never come into contact with if we stayed small.

I have got tips, advise, laughs, and just information from so many people that I would have never know if we stayed small.

I hate change worse than anybody I guess.....but I am not just carrying the banner here.....this, as much as I personally would kind of liked for a lot of things to stay the same, will be good. We will have the chance to bring in and include more great people.

I'll just never be able to remember all the names.
