Neat design....
How about making the KLR completely solid and fit the continents inside of
that silhouette. Then find a clever place for our name..... if we ever
pick one.
My opinion on selecting a name is thus: I like KORG. But aside from that
we got 10% or our populace to vote, the other 90% abstained. That's
typical. Reasons to abstain are varied but most of those people don't
really care what the vote ends up being. My guess is that most of those
90% are here for information purposes only, they aren't interested as much
in the comradery of the list, they don't care to meet the rest of the list
in MOAB or any other place, they don't need to be part of a clic to enjoy
riding their KLR's. They are 100% right, they don't need to be identified
with a clic, they don't need to meet others in MOAB to enjoy the KLR and
they don't need to wear a patch to be considered cool on their KLR. The
10% that voted do want that aspect of what the list offers.... great... and
that 10% has spoken. We've been typing about a name for quite some time,
if the other 90% wanted to be heard then we would have heard them by
now. A "no vote" button and a "don't care" button in the list of options
may have been valuable, but.....
Don't wallow through an election and then bitch about who/what got
elected..... typical..... here your voice is heard, we are almost a captive
audience and hey ..... we'll listen and flame and comment and add to just
about anything that comes in.
I am here for the information AND the comradery. I have a very busy life
but enjoy sharing my common interests with others. I would proudly place a
XXXX sticker on my bike, and would certainly not sew a patch on my
waterproof jacket, but I'd look for the logo on other KLRs I encountered.
Well FWIW.... there's my rant....
