Title: We've got some competition folks... Post by WD on 03/21/13 at 15:32:35 From where the Savage is considered a real motorcycle instead of a toy...http://www.suzukisavage.lt/ShowCategory.php?CategoryID=1001 When it opens make sure to click on the Union Jack... In case the link comes up in a different language. It did come up in English when I tested the link though. I think us stateside owners might just be slacking a bit... |

Title: Re: We've got some competition folks... Post by jcstokes on 03/21/13 at 20:51:23 That's very interesting WD, and goes to show how international the bike is. Most of the country links opened quickly with the exception of the Czech republic, it was probably running on one cylinder just like a Jawa twin in a rainstorm. Perhaps people should send photos of their bikes to their site. |

Title: Re: We've got some competition folks... Post by Boofer on 03/21/13 at 20:57:39 It is my understanding that gas has been $4.00/liter in some places for years. Thumpers are not only logical but essential. |

Title: Re: We've got some competition folks... Post by jcstokes on 03/22/13 at 01:00:30 Could well be about US$4 per litre in parts of Western Europe. About US$2.66 in New Zealand. |

Title: Re: We've got some competition folks... Post by Cavi Mike on 03/22/13 at 09:24:26 What was that quote from the "Back in 1955" thread? I can't believe they said "darn" on the radio? They're just words. |

Title: Re: We've got some competition folks... Post by Pine on 03/22/13 at 11:38:20 Thats a very nice opening page... love the icons for the links. Wish i could translate all the pages. Would be fun. |

Copy the link and paste it into Google's search bar. When the result comes up, you'll see a selection "Translate." After you've clicked that, select the languages you want and bam, the page is in the language you want. Google's translator is getting pretty good with grammar and sentence structure. It reads more like someone speaking broken English instead of complete gobbldegook. But be warned, it still doesn't make up for spelling errors and there's quite a few of them on there... |

I notice we have to be careful around you with our words. I noticed the opening page and dismissed it. Whether you are a believer or not the Bible says that our words reflect what is in our hearts. I learned to cuss when I was six, so it is easy for me to hurt people's feelings when I go to my "default setting" of cursing when I bump my head. I have enough respect for all of you to keep my opinions and answers conservative and respectful. I hope I have succeeded in that. I apologize if I have not. Boofer |

Title: Re: We've got some competition folks... Post by WD on 03/22/13 at 21:14:24 It's a motorcycle site... And a whole lot cleaner than some I am/have been involved with. And any rugrats reading the forums and links over parental shoulders have heard worse at school by the end of kindergarten. ;) |

Title: Re: We've got some competition folks... Post by jcstokes on 03/22/13 at 23:59:07 Like it or not, and in some ways I don't, WD speaks the truth. |

Title: Re: We've got some competition folks... Post by Face on 03/23/13 at 19:01:18 What's that I see at the bottom of the page? A link to THIS site (which is very nice of them), but what I find interesting is the logo they have for this site. http://www.suzukisavage.lt/upl/image/usa.jpg How come I've never seen that before? Is it an old logo that you guys used in the past? |

Face I noticed that too. And I can say I do not care for the design at all....I'm not a prude,I just never liked the skull and crossbones on anything. Plus I don't think our group needs anything that resembles "colors". That does not define us as a group,as diversified as we are. But it is good to see that we are recognized! |

Title: Re: We've got some competition folks... Post by verslagen1 on 03/23/13 at 20:19:46 Mysterious made that up a few years ago. I'm not fond of it either, but much better than a rainbow. wouldn't mind something like this... http://www.suzukisavage.lt/upl/image/cz.jpg |

Title: Re: We've got some competition folks... Post by jcstokes on 03/23/13 at 20:58:50 Would it do any harm for a moderator or similar to email them saying we don't like the skull and ask if they could please use a Savage photo until someone comes up with a better logo. |

Versy I've always liked the stylized "thumper" logo,dating back to some of the old Brit bike T-shirt designs. Maybe one of the more "artsy" members can work up something. |

Title: Re: We've got some competition folks... Post by wambr on 03/23/13 at 22:26:52 guys,if I understand correctly your conversation(even forgive me-because I'm Russian and my English is quite bad) you have a topic about creating logos for different sections of the forum. I liked Face's & ZAR's ideas... General background you can accept that..http://www.suzukisavage.lt/upl/image/usa.jpg. but the logo in the center I would have done like of a cross section of the engine(for example) and for the Cafe section, I would offer a picture of a Savage with a Cup of steaming coffee instead engine...or http://cs7011.vk.me/c7006/v7006918/7f6d/4p1tHNnkB9s.jpg unfortunately, I can't draw it on the computer, but I hope you understand me and it may be worth opening a separate subject with such ideas? |

Title: Re: We've got some competition folks... Post by verslagen1 on 03/23/13 at 22:46:11 here we go, brand new logo http://suzukisavage.com/yabb2.2/Templates/Forum/default/suzukisavageLogo.png |

Title: Re: We've got some competition folks... Post by jcstokes on 03/23/13 at 23:23:08 What a good idea. |
|
Title: Re: We've got some competition folks... Post by Smokestack on 03/24/13 at 06:38:52 I'd buy that stylized engine logo as a sticker or t-shirt in a heartbeat. Not huge on the skull, but only 'cause I think it needs more detail, like the hondachopper.com skull logo/ patch. I don't think it needs to come down as a link tab from that site, though; live and let live.... |

Title: Re: We've got some competition folks... Post by WD on 03/24/13 at 11:06:48 I don't mind the skull and crossbones. Rather fond of them myself...http://i1277.photobucket.com/albums/y490/mphsgal/LISA-HP/Photos/Jeff/lefttats_zps31d42f5d.jpg ;) ;D ::) |

Versy, I like that. Didn't Paladin have a thumper engine for printing on tee shirts? I even bought the iron on transfers and a black tee, but I couldn't get the image to print right. It was a black and white LS engine. Anyone know where it is? Basically a straight up reproduction--not stylized and no words iirc. |
