Well.. Some of us have been tossing around the idea of starting our regional club.. sort of.. You know, our own little slice of crazed Buell fever.. Who are we? Well.. there's Ramon, Jose, Cathy, and I .. or some such.. Now, what shall we call this little cabal? Here are a couple of ideas.. Capital Area Buell Owners -CABO D.C. Corner Carvers - DC3 B.Y.O.B - BYOB (pick your own words) Mid-Atlantic Buell Owners Group - MABOG and now.. it's you're turn.. What do you like as a name? Now, don't be shy.. Do you have a good idea for a name? Do you like one of the ones that's already out here? Well? | ||

Delmarva ? | ||
| Rasmonis |
Delmarva for some reason always reminds me of moths. Perhaps it's cause it rhymes with larvae. | ||
| Blublak |
Oh yeah, I can see it now.. The Delmarva Larvae.. Kinda makes your skin crawl.. Although, it would kind of fit as we infested an area.. At least until someone called an exterminator to remove us.. damn.. Ok, too much buggy pun in that.. Sorry, I couldn't resist.. Oh and over the weekend I thought of something totally non motorcycle related we could use.. and still get a chuckle out of.. Satans Kittens Now, wait a second.. know your history before you toss it out. During the Korean war, the Blue Angels were rotated into a combat squadron - VF-191, Satans Kittens.  They even had a logo we could adopt.. (talk about taking a lot of the work out of it.. ) Hey it was a thought.. And it could be kind of fun.. After all, isn't there a 'fighter plane' connection with Mr. Buell and his own naming of certain motorcycles?} | ||
| Blublak |
Oh and here's an earlier version of the logo I found.. Pretty much the same.. but has potential for a slight mod or two..  OK, enough of this for now.. | ||
| Rasmonis |
Riders of the Storm, Storm Riders/Chargers, Tempest, Satan's Ponies just a few more for ideas...Thundermares/steed/stallion or ponies (for you MTG fans)or how about Ball Lightning. I'm ready to start working on the logo. Let's here more suggestions! | ||
| Blublak |
Hmmmm... Is that it? Does no one else have any ideas? OR should we start "Voting" on our favorites? I know there have to be more Buell riders in our area then are so far spoken for here.. Sooooo... Sound off already! | ||

It's a shame that the Underground Terrorist Motorcycle Cult is already taken,I always thought that it had a nice ring to it.I have been thinking about this for a while now and haven't come up with anything. Aren't there more than 6 people here that can add to this? | ||
| Buellshyter |
It would be nice if you actually rode together more then once or twice a year | ||
| Rasmonis |
I'm leading a ride tomorrow. Leaving Frederick HD @ 10 am | ||

| Blublak |
Hmmmm.. I think we have a couple of pretty good ideas here.. I guess we can wait just a little longer to see what else folks come up with .. then we'll start 'voting' on 'em.. | ||
| Toona |
Beltway Buellers Bueller's of the Beltways, a.k.a. B.O.B. (this makes it a little more general, could be the Balti. Beltway or DC Beltway) | ||
| Blublak |
OK... Let's start sorting some of this out.. Here are the choices, all taken from above and given some space.. If you have a favorite (or two) speak up and then we'll narrow it down until we have (hopefully) one chosen.. or some such.. B.O.B - Buellers Of the Beltway Beltway Buellers Capitol Area Thunderbikes Chesapeke Bay Buellers Corner Junkies Broken Lights Muels On Buells Hot Headers Lords Of The Corners Chesapeke Thunder Ball Lightning ThunderMares ThunderSteeds ThunderPonies Satans Ponies Tempest Storm Chargers Storm Riders Riders Of The Storm Satans Kittens DelMarVa Larvae National Riders CRAB - Chesapeke Bay Carvin' Ridin' and Buell'n MABOG - Mid-Atlantic Buell Owners Group B.Y.O.B. - no specific title. DC3 - D.C. Corner Carvers CABO - Capital Area Buell Owners Phew.. Ok, I think that's all the ones we had tossed out.. So.. who likes what? Hopefully we'll be able to cut it down to a few and then do some real voting. If you have a particular choice or discard, please let us know what your thoughts are about it.. just to help everyone see what you are seeing.. Nuff said.. let the 'debate' begin.. hehehehehehe... | ||
| Toona |
I Like: B.O.B. Beltway Buellers CABO new name: CABO-WABO (Capital Area/Washington Area) Riders of the Storm Corner Junkies Capital Area Thunder Bikes Lords of the Corners- kinda long name, but catchy Neutral: DC3 MABOG National Riders Storm Riders CRAB I Dislike: Satan Kittens - I ain't no kitty DelMarVa Larvae Tempest Hot Headers Broken Lights Thunder Pony/Steed/Mares BYOB | ||
| Blublak |
Thanks Toona! So we have a start.. And folks you see how easy it was? I kind of like the first round being 'Like' 'Neutral' 'DiLike' .. Let's keep it to that format.. and then once we've whittled 'em down.. well.. we'll keep whittlin'.. (Message edited by BluBlak on October 23, 2007) | ||

I get a chuckle every time I see one of the "Semites on Bikes" | ||
| Blublak |
OK.. So.. I see there have been no additional thoughts no the names listed.. So.. let's get a 'vote' going.. In no particular order... B.O.B. CABO (Capital Area Buell Owners) Riders Of The Storm Beltway Buellers Corner Junkies Capital Area Thunder Bikes Lords Of The Corners If you want to keep the 'voting' private, you can send me a PM with your 1st and 2nd choices.. In event of a tie, we'll do it again with just the names that tied. Voting will end.. uh.. In about two weeks say? | ||
| Bearly |
If you all will let me in, (I've never ridden with you guys.) I would vote for CABO. | ||
| Blublak |
Bearly.. Your vote counts my friend.. (and you will ride with us sometime.. really you will.. we're infectious that way..) Which now puts CABO at the head of the pack.. (for those that were curious).. Since the votes have been so slow coming in, I'm holding the polls open until December 1st.. Then, the votes I've got are the only ones that I'm counting and that'll be the winner! So, vote soon if you haven't yet! You Know Who You Are. | ||
| Xb12xscpa |
CABO from here. Hopefully next year I can catch up to you folks more often. The MSF RiderCoaching is cool, but takes a lot of weekends away. | ||
| Johnjacob |
I vote for CABO also......sounds better than the others.... | ||
| Blublak |
And a few more votes counted... Thanks to all the voting rider types.. as for the rest of you.....  WAKE UP!! There are still some folks out there that need to get a vote in.. and time is running out.. I'm serious. On Saturday December 1st the polls close.. And I'll announce the winner! | ||
| Rasmonis |
Every vote counts, and I vote for CABO too. | ||
| Blublak |
Vote added to the tally.. Thanks Ramon! | ||
| Bearly |
I like that patch from the 191st. |
