Figured its time this gets its own thread.

I just got outbid on a new bike by $6!!!!

fucking ebay!!!

now lets get a team name so we can register.

we could always use vinyl i guess and get a new one later.

I will do Vinyl. Any other suggestions? Names I will not do: Anything relating to WoW, Poo Fart Gamble, or Crusaders for Bush (unless its just the acronym). We should make it a goal to register by the end of February. Once we register we can start looking for buses.

I just tried to converse with david...but as usual no luck. Lets see if we can get some big sposors so that the purchase of the bus doesnt kill us.

Dan, you do understand that aside from the Air Force and USPS teams, no one takes their team names seriously. There's a team called the gynecologists or something of that nature...

Well I really haven't been thinking of a name, but I'll give it a shot...so here goes the first try......... ............ ........."Stairway to the StageDoor....VINYL"

I thought of a good one on my ride today, I saw one of those support our troops ribbons on a car, and if we put support our troops on our shirts then whenever someone passed us on the ride we could yell "Yeah, pass us by just like you passed the troops you terrorist bastards" then we would be sure to win, because all the other riders would be ashamed to pass us.

Sound like a plan?

Hilarious. And it isnt that Im against non-serious names, just those specific stupid names.

Dan? Are you trying to tell me something? I'm still thinking about something that involves 'stairway to...' Any other thoughts?

Well my brother and I went looking around at bikes yesterday and we found some good deals...so Im are looking at having a rode bike here pretty quick...but we still need a name!

FACT: Eric cannot get up at 10 AM and do a 5k run first thing after a breakfast consisting of apple sauce without puking and damaging his knee cap.

At this point, I don't care what our name is anymore. I am really hoping you guys just pick something that's not gay.

Max Speed Capacity is good.

Unread post by **Dan** » Sat Feb 04, 2006 7:10 pm

I like Another One Bikes the Dust best, followed by Max Speed Capacity.

Unread post by **Eric** » Sat Feb 04, 2006 7:44 pm

AHAHAHAH, those are gold.

I can live with any. I like Grant and the Bastards for some reason.

I am?

Unread post by **Eric** » Sat Feb 04, 2006 10:45 pm

In like Flynn

Unread post by **$KrazyK$** » Sun Feb 05, 2006 1:27 pm

Personally I like "Stairway to another one bikes the dust" or "Stairway to Gr4nt and the B4st4rds"

Unread post by **Dan** » Sun Feb 05, 2006 4:17 pm

As far as I can tell Grant, Kevin, Eric, Sammy, Jayson, and myself are going. And Wade is a maybe. We should try for 10 people so we can minimize the per capita cost.

I dont know really, it kind of depends on when I need to be back here which is up in the air because there are no set dates as of yet.

Unread post by **Dan** » Mon Feb 06, 2006 11:40 pm

Scott said he might be in although possibly only as a bus companion (Im gonna be lonely), I told him to see if any friends wanted to go.

Unread post by **$KrazyK$** » Tue Feb 07, 2006 9:51 am

So when is the due date again? Cause we had better get on this thing quick!

Unread post by **grant** » Tue Feb 07, 2006 10:09 am

april is the latest i think

Unread post by **Dan** » Tue Feb 07, 2006 7:13 pm

I think our goal should be by the end of February, so then we dont run the risk of not being accepted.
