Author Message   Southern Marine Posted on Wednesday, August 17, 2005 - 07:58 am:          Jlnance Posted on Wednesday, August 17, 2005 - 09:20 am:        I like that last one! I like them both actually, but the symetry of the last appeals to me.   Southern Marine Posted on Wednesday, August 17, 2005 - 12:09 pm:        Here's another one, again, Brankin's idea to add this bit.   Southern Marine Posted on Wednesday, August 17, 2005 - 12:20 pm:        One more with the state surrounding the BRAG logo.   Southern Marine Posted on Thursday, August 18, 2005 - 06:14 am:        I think I'm gonna change my bikes color when I get back, soak it in some Rit's dye.   Jlnance Posted on Thursday, August 18, 2005 - 06:45 am:        Like the first one with the state over the c3. If you get bored, can you try connecting the 3 to the top opening of the C rathen than the bottom? It would look like C Cubed that way, and I believe that was one abbreviation that was used for this group.   Southern Marine Posted on Thursday, August 18, 2005 - 07:42 am:        Here are the changes, yep, kinda slow at work today. That can be good at times.   Southern Marine Posted on Thursday, August 18, 2005 - 08:37 am:        Okay, last one for now.   1313 Posted on Thursday, August 18, 2005 - 12:29 pm:        David, The artwork looks great! Thanks for your contributions even though you are so far from home right now. Last night (well maybe it was early this morning) after Carlos and I finished up the '06 drive belt installation on his M2 we discussed the artwork. (Can't wait until Carlos posts pictures of the belt we took off of it...) Some of the ideas we had (before seeing your latest iterations) were: 1. Having the outline of the state of NC around the Carolina (of Carolina Corner Carvers) on top. This would push the C3 image more towards the center (better balance perhaps). This could also allow the BRAG logo to be made a little more prominent. 2. Still having an arrow coming out of the top of the C3 image as our thoughts were that we still wanted to have the logo resemble a road sign. This may be creatively put in so that the C3 image is still readily recognizable (but the software being used may be the limitation). Hopefully Carlos will summarize anything I've missed as that is all I can remember right now... Thanks for picking up my slack! The artwork looks great! 1313   Jlnance Posted on Thursday, August 18, 2005 - 02:21 pm:        wow, they all look great!   Spike Posted on Thursday, August 18, 2005 - 03:15 pm:        Quick note- Ray Price HD/Buell has a Sunset Orange XB12Ss Lightning Long in stock. It may not be on display yet, but if you ask the right person you may still get to check it out.   1313 Posted on Thursday, August 18, 2005 - 08:44 pm:        So Spike, To pick up on our conversation when we were at Dave's house checking out the new bikes for '06... Does it actually look orange in person or red like it does on the website? 1313   M2nc Posted on Thursday, August 18, 2005 - 10:42 pm:        How do you know you have a redneck belt on your bike?   M2nc Posted on Thursday, August 18, 2005 - 11:15 pm:        It's missing teeth!   Southern Marine Posted on Friday, August 19, 2005 - 02:21 am:        How's this one?   Southern Marine Posted on Friday, August 19, 2005 - 02:27 am:        I have this in a better quality.   Spike Posted on Friday, August 19, 2005 - 09:58 am:        quote: Does it actually look orange in person or red like it does on the website? Don't know, haven't gone to see it yet. If I get out of work early enough Larry and I might go see it today.   Spike Posted on Friday, August 19, 2005 - 11:07 am:        Race Schedule for AMA races @VIR next weekend: Friday, August 26 7:30am-4:00pm Registration: For Crew, Sponsors & Guests 8:00am-5:00pm Tech Inspection 9:00am-9:40am Pro Honda Oils Supersport presented by Shoei Helmets Practice 9:50am-10:30am AMA Superbike Championship presented by Parts Unlimited Practice 10:40am-11:20am Lockhart Phillips USA Formula Xtreme Practice 11:30am-12:10pm Repsol Lubricants Superstock Practice 12:10pm-1:10pm Lunch Break 12:30am Mandatory Rider Briefing 1:10pm-2:00pm AMA Superbike Championship presented by Parts Unlimited Qualifying Group 1 2:10pm-3:00pm AMA Superbike Championship presented by Parts Unlimited Qualifying Group 2 3:10pm-4:00pm Lockhart Phillips USA Formula Xtreme Qualifying Group 1 4:10pm-5:00pm Lockhart Phillips USA Formula Xtreme Qualifying Group 2 5:10pm-5:30pm Jason Britton Stunt Show (front straight) Saturday, August 27 7:30am-4:00pm Registration: For Crew, Sponsors & Guests 8:00am-5:00pm Tech Inspection 8:30am-9:00am Repsol Lubricants Superstock Practice 9:10am-9:40am Pro Honda Oils Supersport Championship presented by Shoei Helmets Practice 9:50am-10:20am AMA Superbike Championship presented by Parts Unlimited Qualifying Group 1 10:30am-11:00am AMA Superbike Championship presented by Parts Unlimited Qualifying Group 2 11:10am-11:40am Lockhart Phillips USA Formula Xtreme Practice 11:40am-12:30pm Lunch Break 11:50am-12:10 Jason Britton Stunt Show (between turns 3&5) 12:30pm-12:55pm Repsol Lubricants Superstock Qualifying Group 1 1:05pm-1:30pm Repsol Lubricants Superstock Qualifying Group 2 1:40pm-2:05pm Pro Honda Oils Supersport Championship presented by Shoei Helmets Qualifying Group 1 2:15pm-2:40pm Pro Honda Oils Supersport Championship presented by Shoei Helmets Qualifying Group 2 3:00pm AMA Superbike Championship presented by Parts Unlimited Race 1 (28 laps, 100k) 4:20pm Lockhart Phillips USA Formula Xtreme Race (17 laps, 60k) 5:00pm-5:20pm Jason Britton Stunt Show (between turns 6&7) Sunday, August 28 8:30am-Noon Registration: Crew, Sponsors & Guests 8:30am Tech Inspection Opens 9:00am-9:30am Repsol Lubricants Superstock Practice 9:40am-10:10am Pro Honda Oils Supersport Championship presented by Shoei Helmets Practice 10:20am-10:50am AMA Superbike Championship presented by Parts Unlimited Practice 11:15am Repsol Lubricants Superstock Race (17 laps, 60k) Noon-1:00pm Lunch Break - Fan Track Ride 12:30pm-12:50 Jason Britton Stunt Show (between turns 3&5) 1:15pm Pro Honda Oils Supersport Championship presented by Shoei Helmets Race (17 laps, 60k) 2:15pm Jason Britton Stunt Show (front straight) 3:00pm AMA Superbike Championship presented by Parts Unlimited Race 2 (28 laps, 100k) Delete the sponsorship titles and racer-only info and it's a little easier to read: Friday- 9:00am-12:10pm: Practice 12:10pm-1:10pm: Lunch 1:10pm-5:00pm: Qualifying 5:10pm-5:30pm: Stunt show Saturday- 8:30am-11:40am: Practice/Qualifying 11:40am-12:30pm: Lunch 11:50am-12:10pm: Stunt show 12:30pm-2:40pm: Qualifying 3:00pm: Superbike Race 4:20pm Formula Xtreme Race 5:00pm-5:20pm: Stunt show Sunday- 9:00am-10:50am: Practice 11:15am: Superstock Race Noon-1:00pm: Lunch 12:30pm-12:50pm: Stunt show 1:15pm: Superstock Race 2:15pm: Stunt show 3:00pm: Superbike Race I definitely can't be there on Friday and the Buells aren't running on Sunday so Saturday is looking like the best day to go. I'd like to get there relatively early Saturday morning so we can get a decent parking spot and have some time to check out the vendors and what-not before the racing starts. Do you guys want to try and meet up somewhere and ride to VIR together or do you want to arrange to meet somewhere at the track?   Southern Marine Posted on Friday, August 19, 2005 - 12:13 pm:        One More.   Spike Posted on Friday, August 19, 2005 - 12:26 pm:        I posted this in the NC section back in '03. Maybe we could work a C3 into it.   M2nc Posted on Friday, August 19, 2005 - 09:22 pm:        Saturday! Saturday! Saturday! It doesn't sound as good as three Sundays with the deep voice and the echo machine but definitely Saturday is the day to go. Who's going? I sent the write up for the picture to Shelton for his blessing. John Martindale wants me to stop by and pick up 2006 lit and DVD, they're in. I'm planning to ride to Goldsboro this Sunday and get it. I'll check with him while I'm there on when the new Uly will arrive. According to the list Jeremy in Smithfield had, at least one XB12X will ship to one of the Shelt's stores 9/9. I'll try to find out which one. I played around a little with the C3 sign concept in Power Point. The signs do not look as good as David's. David, the last concept is close, but how about the "C" over the "3", I'm still trying. One of the gals that I worked with left to start her own printing business. She can do magnets and stickers. I taked to her about our concepts and she stated that she can make stickers for the bikes and magnets for the cars. I don't know who I would go to for the patches. In time we will figure it out. You know during the meeting last week I forgot to mention that we wanted to see if anyone would be interested in an Advanced Riders Edge or Motorcycle Safety Course. These courses are meant to be taken by riders that have at least several thousand miles under their belt and you ride your own bike. I know that Lenior Community College wanted to offer the course but could not find enough interest. In this case, we were thinking that we may find enough interest within our group and maybe the local HOG group could pitch in enough interest that we could approach either a Rider's Edge instructor or a local Community College to set up a course. Sound off if you would be interested and if there is enough interest we can start planning something.   Zxzer04 Posted on Friday, August 19, 2005 - 09:47 pm:        Hey, My father in Law told me that he is a little behind but he will have the picture in a couple days. Mike and I rode up to Ray Price's today and looked at the 12Ss. Not bad, the new intake looks cool. The color was ok, but I was feeling that with a little sun, dirt, wash, age, etc. that the red is going to become flourescent orange. The seat looks lots more comfortable(and softer), and perhaps wider although that is hard to judge without another to compare. Later guys, Larry   Spike Posted on Friday, August 19, 2005 - 10:31 pm:        Advanced Rider course- name the price and I'm there, assuming the course isn't run by MSF know-it-alls that insist on doing the minor things a certain way like using 4 fingers to operate the front brake. About the 12Ss, I like it. I wouldn't replace my 12R with it, but it definitely has a place in the Buell lineup. It really fits in as an XB-M2 with quality components. Change the styling a little and you could get away with calling it a Cyclone. Compared to the standard Lightning it's a little bit bigger, a little more comfortable, and probably a bit more stable. The seat is large and soft, like a longer version of the City-X seat. I'd venture to say that it's the most passenger friendly Buell this side of the Ulysses. The color is interesting. It's not as red as it looks on the website, but it's not as orange as the sunset orange that came on the Blast. The wheels appeared to be just a shade more red than the bodywork. They were almost a hot red color. The downside is that they're not a cool translucent finish like the current XB12 models, they're just a standard gloss finish.   Southern Marine Posted on Saturday, August 20, 2005 - 01:48 am:        Okay, is it C3 or C(cubed)3? You want the arrow out of the C at the top or the 3 at the top or at the bottom? Do you want the arrow the way it is curving out of the 3 or C? What color? A border like above or not? What shape, diamond, octogan, triangle? Geez, can't please everybody.   Southern Marine Posted on Saturday, August 20, 2005 - 02:59 am:        Here are a few.   Southern Marine Posted on Saturday, August 20, 2005 - 03:02 am:        I can produce any of these in a much better quality if you need it to submit for stickers, patches, etc... If you do a search I'm sure we can find someone to make patches.   Southern Marine Posted on Saturday, August 20, 2005 - 06:27 am:        another   Southern Marine Posted on Saturday, August 20, 2005 - 07:45 am:        Little Mod to the last one.   Southern Marine Posted on Saturday, August 20, 2005 - 09:25 am:        I found someone, online, that does patches. She said they have made patches for motorcyle groups in the past, boy scout stuff, all kinds of patches. I sent her and image to get an idea of how much it would cost. I told her that no decision has been made, but that we were looking into it and was interested in the cost. I'll let you know something. I'm sure there are many other places to get some made, just found this one and emailed them to get an idea. They are out of Florida. I'm sure there are places in Eastern NC that can do the job as well. I acutally sent her the last image, but it has the BRAG logo from the one above it with the white in it. WWW.Idealpatch.com   M2nc Posted on Saturday, August 20, 2005 - 10:33 am:        David, these last two look good. I have been working on some ideas too, but can not seem to get the files small enough for the web site. One idea, can the outside be the state with the sign inside it. That leaves more room for the "C3". I'm still trying to get some of my ideas up here. Your logos are better, but just trying to bounce ideas around.
