How about ALL us Buell racers who plan on keeping on racing next season, come up with a "group" thing??? Dunno, image, name, something? Sure, eventually Erik will have something else come along but I'm betting the few of us racing next year will have some "built-in" publicity not as available to the other club-racers on the generic bikes. Bastard Child Racing?? Red Headed Step Child Racing?? Of course, I'll ALWAYS keep Lavin-Yurassov Racing as will each of you be keeping your OWN team identity - but why the hell NOT create our own "group identity?" (from F-USA in Las Vegas - 2005) but now there's a real MOTIVATOR going in the additional name(s)... Gotta do some head-scratching. |

It would be great if we could come up with something as a group and have some decals made to go on the bikes. I will be racing my XB9R and my 1125R with all the racing goodies I have spent my savings on. |

Buell Racers Anonymus? Can't really think of anything catchy at the moment. |

BFHN Racing Buell Forever...Harley Never |

BFHN unfortunately alienates some of the guys you may be racing with and might have spares and tools to lend. You'd also be splitting up what is already a very small group of racers when compared to the other brands. No sense in alienating your step brothers! After Buell disowned the Blast, I thought about changing our team name to "Kick Me" Racing. Now that HD has disowned Buell, maybe "kick me in the nuts racing". Both names reflect the feeling at the time. Besides favouring something along the Stepchild/Stepchildren idea, I've got nothing else. |

Need to have something that can be announced on a PA system at the racing during rider introductions. "Bastard" is acceptable over a PA system - Arrogant Bastard Ale (Stone Brewing) sponsors a local guy (or knowing him, HE sponsors THEM) |

stealing from the best Nugent song(and one of my all time favorites) "White Buffalo Racing". If you listen to the lyrics, it fits...I'm working on my team, RCI racing, with a few parts from Bison actually. |

Actually we HAVE White Buffalo Racing out here at Willow Springs... cool as that is, it'd be a non-starter. The obvious HN (Hardley Never) is tough when some of us are still carrying sponsorships through dealers that STILL support Buell (and are as pissed as we are) |

BFFB kinda fits right INTO the whole Hardley "image thing" with "Bikers Forever, Forever Bikers" as the well-known saying. Not my style as a racer (personal opinion only) |

CORA... has a nice ring to it. But it ain't my decision. Maybe since we have a few months until next season starts, we can gather the suggestions and do a legit poll in a few weeks? |

If we come up with something, I can pay Sandra Lara to do the artwork. She did my "Muell" and the fundraising artwork (shark and squid)

CORA sounds like you just came off an injury. I'm sticking to Stabbed in the Back Racing. |

Maybe because I knew a HOTTIE named Cora in my early college days. |

Someone posted this idea on Eriks Facebook page: 500358. The last Buell built had a VIN number of 500357. |

Problem with Rogue Racing is there are a half dozen Rogue Racings. |
