Here are the first slogans to be voted on. The winning slogan (slogans if there is a tie) will move on to the Final poll after all polls are complete. Start the voting!!!

This poll is open for ONE week.

Ride with Pride... there's nothing to hide!!!

fast, right side drive, vtwin...expensive chopper? NOPE! Better!

i have a vote for worst slogan ever...

"Sportsters: Not Just for Girls Anymore"

I think that submission was just a joke.

I like more than one and wish we could combine a couple. "Sportser, The machine that defined motorcyling for the world since '57" I think sounds good. I didnt submit one. I always completely drew a blank whenever I treid to think of a slogan. I couldnt even draw on all the corny military quips stuck in my head I could have adapted. It's going to be fun to watch this contest.

Some good slogans there, will have to think about it though..

I had thought of these.. (some with just a pinch of plagarism!)

The XL Forum, The Champagne of forums.

"One fiddler you won't have to pay." XL forums, free advice at it's best.

A, B, C, of Sportsters...XL Forum has arranged these in ways that make you cry, giggle, laugh, love, hate, wonder, ponder and understand.

XL Forum "We'll leave a light on for you"

Oh well maybe next year!

wheres my " I voted sticker":smoke :smoke

Man I just can't decide. I'll have to think about them more before I vote.

This is Going to be Very Interesting!!!!!:D

wheres my " I voted sticker":smoke :smoke
Right next to yer "bitch fell off" t-shirt.:laugh

How about,1- Sportster the only motorcycle that matters?
2- The Harley Davisdon Sporster the true meaning of a one on one 3-Sportster one ride then you will know...I like that one..

"Making the Lightning what it is, but creating thunder since '57"
Orsomethinlikethat

I see my slogan never made it to the polls.. :(

Ya and mine too:(

I chose: The Sportster and the XL Forum: a ride, an adventure, a family!

Mainly because it's supposed to be a slogan for the XL Forums as well as our beloved Sportsters. Not all the slogans capture both things.

Ride Fast, Die Hard

Hmm... Not really crazy about any of them. I know its too late but how about something simple like: Damn Straight!

I see my slogan never made it to the polls.. :(

Hmmmm. Mine either. We must really suck guys.....:rolleyes:

Hmmmm. Mine either. We must really suck guys.....:rolleyes:
no no no! there will be more than one poll...then the winners of all polls will be in a poll together....this is a multi-stage contest! :brocoli

Hows about this:
XL Forum: If I wanted yer F@#King Opinion I'd give ya one!!!

Ok...admitedly not family oriented....But I just HAD to throw my $.02 in...

How about:

Sportster, a truely reliable, classic motorcycle, standing up to the
test of time.

no no no! there will be more than one poll...then the winners of all polls will be in a poll together....this is a multi-stage contest! :brocoli

Thanks for the clear up John. I was about to cry....:p

Thanks for the clear up John. I was about to cry....:p

AWWWWWWWWW Don't cry... :)

Here's a hug... :)

These are all better than mine...


"Good To The Last Drop"


;)

Of all the choices, I think "Ride With Pride" says it all.....

The sound,I voted for, because I get a rush when I go through the gears and when I hear a Sprortster go through the gears.A BIG tWIN DOES NOT HAVE THAT SOUND.:tour

Hmmmm. Mine either. We must really suck guys.....:rolleyes:


what Raysheen said!! :doh

did like the idea of combining to make one great slogan

Im watchin you Bert! I better not find my vote doesnt count cause I leave a hanging chad!

Ill take this piece to the Supreme Court!

And probably loose............again :(

Adios

Gosh......hhhhmmmmmmmmm............if these are the best, what were the worst..................need to think more before voting........

"Sportster" if I have to explain you wouldn't understand!
not original but honest and to the point.

XL Forum: Where the 4 Cammers Mesh

Thanks for the clear up John. I was about to cry....:p
sniff...sniff...sniff... me too ...sniff...sniff...sniff... :cry1

XL Forum: Where the 4 Cammers Mesh

I like that one.

All I could come up with was "Xl Forum: F##K YOU!"

Adios

I would have come up with,
This little piggy will kick your ass!

Keep a smile on your face and bugs outta your teeth

Mine was long and windy, so I never sent it in...

Motivated by an extreme, unreasoning pursuit of the perfect ride that can only be found on a Sportster, share that same extreme motivation on XLForum.net

But, oh well, those are some good ones above, will have to study and vote.

"XL forum, fastest Sportster(could substitute Harley) forum on the web."

I guess that pretty much states my opinion.

I am disappointed that most, if not all, of these suggestions are for Sportster motorcycles. The slogan is supposed to be for the XL Forum, not for the bikes. It is not the same thing.

Hope to see my own suggestion in a future poll.

To bad we couldn't have voted for 3 or 4 to narrow it down, I liked a few of them myself.

As Mr Burns on the Simpsons would say about Sportsters and I say XLent

Well, I am happy to see mine made the first cut.

Ride the Lightin' & Making thunder since '57.

I came up with this to try and make a single statement that would include all the re-incarnations of the Sportster.
This bike was the first factory production crotch rocket, wile it is no longer the cutting edge, it still carries the distinction of being the first true Factory production race-able bike for the masses.

Nick, I see your point, it should be about the Forum, BUT I disagree with you on this point, This forum is only here because of the Sportster, the two are intertwined, you could not have one without the other, and the reason most come here is because of the Sportster.

Now for a shameless plug.....Please vote for mine.

The slogans that I was sent are not being put up in the polls in any particular order.

It it all random.

Do not think that I have a preference based on what poll or what location on the poll the slogan is in.

Hows about this:
XL Forum: If I wanted yer F@#King Opinion I'd give ya one!!!

Ok...admitedly not family oriented....But I just HAD to throw my $.02 in...
Man , Who is your dentist.. LMFAO

Man , Who is your dentist.. LMFAO

My vote:
The Sportster and the XL Forum: a ride, an adventure, a family!

....yah...ya shouldve have seen me BEFORE the braces!

....yah...ya shouldve have seen me BEFORE the braces!

wa, the "George CLooney" of the XL Forum...!!! :D

I like "Ride With Pride", already got a Sportster shirt with that on it. It's on the Canadian Sportster Club's shirts and pins.

wa, the "George CLooney" of the XL Forum...!!! :D

...heh heh heh...yah, every forum needs a Mascot!! :smoke

I like "Ride With Pride", already got a Sportster shirt with that on it. It's on the Canadian Sportster Club's shirts and pins.
:doh So, you mean the names already taken..:roflblack :p :D
I also picked Ride with Pride.... because there's nothing to be ashamed of!!

we've still got another couple to come...

I'm hopin someone has something simple...

along the lines of


XLForum .... XL'ing since '03


or some other play on words that draws XL ....(exellance )...and sportster together...

The simpler the better... I just couldn't come up with what I was tryin to say and figured someone else would nail it.....hopefully they will



Something that says what this one says..."The Sportster and the XL Forum: a ride, an adventure, a family!" but simpler...more refined

XLent Place for Sportster Riders?

yeah along those lines....


I think we need to have a brainstorm session in chat....

I like "Ride With Pride", already got a Sportster shirt with that on it. It's on the Canadian Sportster Club's shirts and pins.

Its also the name of an MSF program in Western New York...

xl forum "celebrating a real american classic".with a screen print of a fine example of a sportster(probaly will turn into another poll)and under the bike,"since 1957".

or maybe xl forum: "the fastest way to XL erate"with a screen print of a fine example of a sporty(maybe another poll,lol).under the bike,"since 1957"

i could change my slogans around a bit to more reflect the forum for example xl forum.net "where sportster enthusiasts XL erate" if costs permit a screen print of a nice sleek sporty, looks like its movin when its sittin still kinda sporty.the year the forum was started could be added as well under the bike, "founded 2003"

how bout XL forum.net "where sportster enthusiats go to XL erate"

hate to be a HOG (lol) but my brain cells have regenerated, miracles do happen.one more and ime through (for now) XL FORUM.NET " where sportster lovers XL erate"

XL Forum: Sensitive,Caring and Eco friendly since 2003

How about "The XL forum, the premier Sportster information website."

Ah crap maybe next year.

I like more than one and wish we could combine a couple. "Sportser, The machine that defined motorcyling for the world since '57" I think sounds good. I didnt submit one. I always completely drew a blank whenever I treid to think of a slogan. I couldnt even draw on all the corny military quips stuck in my head I could have adapted. It's going to be fun to watch this contest.


I too drew a blank but I agree with you that the combination sounds great! I like the part about the world since this is an international group here and the date is just the cherry the slogan needed.

I like the single word idea, Like :

XL Forum XL-ent!
or
XL Forum XL-erate!

...hows about: XL-arge

How about XL erate your love for your ride.

All,
Call me crazy but I think we need a slogan that can get hits on google and other search engines so we can attract more people this great forum. We want to take over the net and let everyone know how great our forum is, excellent community of diverse riders, and awesome rides. Personally I am too dumb to make up something eloquent that sums up this forum for me in a sentence. I know without all the info here there is no way I could ride or wrench my own sporty.


I AM JUST GLAD TO BE HERE WITH YOU ALL:banarasta

All,
Call me crazy ....
You are crazy. :laugh

A slogan won't attract search engines.
A "gateway page" with lots of text will.

I couldn't think of anything until after the deadline but now there popping in my head left and right.
How about:
"Sportster Born And Bred"
or
"What Ever Your Into, Get On To A Sportster"

Sportster. The other white meat.

(It IS a Hog, no?) :tour

I am confused - I thought the slogan was for the forums, and not the bike...

I am confused - I thought the slogan was for the forums, and not the bike...

I think it is....:rolleyes:

...call it *Artistic License*

I am confused - I thought the slogan was for the forums, and not the bike...


I would say .. YES .. you're correct


but I think we need to have the bike in the slogan so people know what we're on about....


I havn't seen anuthing that really hits the spot yet....most seem to be first or second generation ideas....

we need more refinement to get it say what we want in a short, concise and possible witty phrase...something that can be used as a catch cry or slogan

As I said some of the ones put up already are ok... just not refined enough..these things often work better with a brainstorming session, with everyone throwing their ideas and building on whats been thrown in...

it's a damn sight harder to come up with a simple slogan or design than most people realise .... the simple designs often take the most work... I see it in engineering every day

xl forum.net "a new EVOlution" or XL forum.net "join the new EVOlution"

RICE its whats for dinner XL forum.com

xl forum.net all sportsters,all the time

ahhh-so your lookin' for something catchy to go on a shirt????
how's this....?

The problem with single elimination is that some good ones get left behind...

It really makes each stage's choices (for each poll) affect the results...

I'd like to see more of a double or triple elimination....

Each poll separate....top 3 of each poll move to second round...etc...

you meet the nicest people on sportsters or you meet the nicest people on a sportster

xl forum.com 24 hour help line for sportster addicts

you meet the nicest people on sportsters or you meet the nicest people on a sportsterNow why does that sound so familiar? :)

because its true aint it?

I like that. Sounds like an idea for a t-shirt or a tat.

I like that. Sounds like an idea for a t-shirt or a tat.
I agree with both of you, I really like that, it's suggestive enough to make someone ask about it, which then opens the door for you to brag on the forum...

Don't understand I have been a member of this forum since March I believe.Been a member of sportster.org for a few years ,with that in mind ,What qualifies one to be so called team member.

Grant you I don't have the post count like others before me nor do I have the time to frequent the site & post as often as I would like.

your original post to me at my skullster@netzero account didn't insinuate that I was not eligible.I am really confused.

If I can't participate then there is no sense of me staying on the forum.Certainly can't be my qualifications as I have over 29 years in the saddle.Probably a lot more than most posters on this forum,Yourself included.

Would love an explanation on this.
