Name Sugestions for Club
Sitting here trying to kill time in the winther night, waiting for the snow to melt so I once again can take my wheels for a spin. I'm contemplating doing a trans Africa trip on a classic Vespa scooter (actually I am pretty far into the planning). If I do, I'd like to start an international club for overlanding scooter enthusiasts who has undertaken long and/or challenging trips by scooter. The problem is that the only two cool names I can think of are both taken, and neither of the clubs give any justice to their names what so ever. I have found no such club to join, that is why I thought it was about time someone did something about it. The two names I have thought about so far (both taken):
Nomad SC (SC as in scooter club) Overlanders SC Any suggestions about name and logo? I posted on a scooter BBS and have gotten the following suggestions so far: The Vagabonds The Drifters The Pilgrims Galavant SC The Tramps Saddlesore Trippers Long Haul We Must Be F**king Mad Iron Butt Scooter Club. g. the flaming taints Marco Polo scooter club Flat World scooter club The Continentals Scooter Immigrunts (yes I meant to put grunts) HTEs.c. - Here there and Everywhere s.c. Why name it? - put a map of the world on there with s.c. over it. Sore Ass Scooter Club Carpal Tunnel Scooterists FUV's Suck Everywhere SC Hunchbacks SC Two Stroke Bacon Smoke SC InterloperSC The adventurers The bordercrossers The conquerers No boundaries SCOOTOURISTS S.C. "only the purists are tourists" Pleas add your own, it will be fun. Some other associations to scooters: two stroke "2%" (as in the oil mixture that Vespas use, and as a mocking to the "1%" some bikers use because they claim not to be of the 99% of bikers which are nice and decent folks). |
Hi Wheelie,
I thought this would be an ideal time for my first posting - and suggest the following name which i think is very appropriate considering what Vespa means in Italian !. "The flight of the Bumble Bees Scooter Club". Don`t forget the ear-plugs !. Cheers Graham |
One problem with that name:
Wasp = Vespa Bumble Bee = Ape Piaggio also have a three wheeled vehicle called Ape... I guess you can't really enjoy the name unless you know its translation... But you are onto something |
Can u wheelie on a Vespa? Seriously,well not too,not to be too Vespacentric,but I like Vesparodoes.My 2 cents.
