Calling All Canadian Members AGAIN ! Time to Vote

rickyboy · 11-23-2008, 01:51 PM

Hi to everyone :)
At the present time we Canadian members are known as "The Iron Horse Riders". There appears to be an appetite to change the name to something else. If any Canadian members have anything serious to put forth to consider, as far as a name goes, please join in the thread in the "groups" portion of the site and give us your ideas so we can do a poll that every Canadian can be a part of. There is mention already of a few possibilities, and we'd like to settle on something concrete by the end of the yr.. If our Brothers south of the border have anything they might want to suggest, perhaps you could post it here in this thread and any Canadian wanting to make that name suggestion, could carry it over to the Canadian Group section. No offense intended. It's only my opinion that the name should be suggested from a Canadian member. You understand I'm sure. Thanks! ;)
So come on all you "lurkers"

and regular posters, lets get ???thinking and make "YOUR" suggestion for a name we're ALL proud of.

Maple Leaf Madmen?

Good luck and have fun with the naming ritual.

"Royal Canadian Mounted Nomads"......just a thought...

rewindgy · 11-24-2008, 11:39 AM

That's better than " The Royal Canadian Yaksmen" ! But with that one we even get a Theme song!

cactusjack · 11-24-2008, 12:12 PM

I dunno, but try to work the phrases "back bacon" or "Tim Horton's" into the name. That would be cool....

rickyboy · 11-24-2008, 01:42 PM

Just for the record C.J. and our other U.S. bros. What I meant by ..."the name should be suggested from a Canadian member", is, I for one, would welcome any suggestions from anyone but let us Canadians be the ones to bring it to the Canadian Grp. forum......if one of us like it.
Hummmm bacon !!.....Timmy's.....ahhhh !!!!

any more name suggestions?? Bring'em on ! and seriously, Thanks!

I agree, just having a little fun with our Canadian brothers.

Whatever you folks up North come up with will be great, I'm sure.

Great WHite Nomads

I would say the Iron Horse Riders moniker is pretty accurate. My little 4k+ jaunt this summer was nothing compared to the Canadian riders I met. Everyone of them was over 8k miles and still had 2 - 4k miles to go before they got home. None of them were afraid of anything the weather could throw at them. Several would give anybody a run for their money in their off road antics. Canadians do some serious riding. My suggestion, keep the Iron Horse Riders and come up with a good logo to go with it.

They must have more free time up North to ride like that.

Just so you are aware, the Southwest group already locked up "The Group with the hot women". We just haven't made the change yet.

I already know what my Brit wife would suggest for your group, "The Cold Americans". :)

-10 to "cold americans"

Now Bdog, I'm sure she means it in the nicest way.

Kind of like the Kiwis ribbing the Aussies about having ugly sheep.
I've heard more than once Brits saying the Canadians are just cold Americans.
