The new Buell needs a bad weather name like other Buell models? What is your idea? Take the Poll

 

[The_AirHawk]

"Other" .

 

[Kenneth_Moore]

"Widely Scattered Showers"

 

[seruzawa]

Typhon? Why would you name a Buell after a Greek Deity?

 

[The_AirHawk]

"Widely Scattered Showers"

"Fair to Partly-Cloudy"

Or howz'bout "Sunny and Breezy"........

Have you been playing Titan Quest, or just translating Ovid's Metamorphosis back to ancient Greek?

 

[seruzawa]

Old school stuff.

Have you been playing Titan Quest, or just translating Ovid's Metamorphosis back to ancient Greek?

Ever read Zelazny's "Creatures of Light and Darkness"? The Iliad?

Modern "education" tsk tsk. apparently students don't know any Greek mythology. Heck they can't read, add or subtract. But they do know that teachers are underpaid! Only the "important" things are taught.

 

[BrowningBAR]

How about the "1125R QuitYourB!tchin"

Or

"1125R NowWhyAren'tYouBuyingIt"

Or

"1125R Proper"

Since there's a Ulysses, maybe this should be called the Achilles. And it's Achilles' heel would be?

 

[mscuddy]

I like the "1125R Wombat". Has a nice ring to it....Wait Hodaka already did that...hmmm...hows about the "Dingbat" then?

Many of the Buell bikes were named after fighter aircraft of WWII.

I am not sure what using an Austrian engine will do to that naming "scheme", though.

 

[54937]

Oh, and if it is to be a weather name then I am a fan of Mammatus clouds.

Something about them. Can't quite put a finger on it, but I just like the way Mammatocumulus rolls off the tongue.

How about the "Gooneybird" then? (C117/DC3).

Oh Archie!

 

[62055]

WWII fighter/bomber names are great too. Spitfire, Hellcat, Mustang, Avenger, etc.

 

[62055]

:lol: I had to look it up Mammatus (also known as mamma or mammatocumulus, meaning "breast-cloud")... I agree wise choice sir

 

[seruzawa]

How about...

..."1125R Nimbostratocumulus Storm Warning Film at 11"?

In that case, "Taifun."

 

[fumanchu]

i think we've missed the obvious naming choice:

the buell blitzkrieg.

tell me that's not catchy (and slightly easier to say than the buell iwasjustfollowingorders).

bis später.

 

[schizuki]

It's liquid-cooled, so I'd avoid "Tsunami", "Cloudburst", or "Monsoon."
