Title: The GS club
Post by: Dom on December 16, 2004, 09:06:37 PM
We only need two things to be a club:  a name and a logo to put on our patches.  Now I'm neither a cunning linguist or a master debator so choosing a name isn't really my strong suit, but I do have some minor artistic abilities.   So start throwing out some names and/or artwork that we can have embroidered on some patches.  In a little while we'll have a vote.  

The thing about patches is the the more intricate the design and the more colors, the more costly... there is an embroidery shop down the street from my work and I'll run some preliminary drawings by them so we can gauge the cost of production.  By talking to them today I don't think even a very intricate patch with 5 or 6 colors will cost more than $8.  Pretty cool, huh?

It doesn't have to look sinister by any means.  I would just hate to get pulled over by the devout Christian state trooper who thinks he has just pulled over the Antichrist and is therefore obligated to hit me with the book(not the Bible, the other book)... I guess I could avoid all of this by just driving the speed limit.  :lol:

Plus, it references zounds of biker movie gangs----

satan's helpers

satans slaves
the satans
satan's angels

and, well....hells angels...

etc.

I think a goat is a great symbol and it's really an odd coincidence that Goat was the first to be afflicted with what we now reefer to as Goat's Syndrome, because the goat is the animal most often associated with the devil/hell and Goat's Syndrome is the GS owners own little version of hell.  And like the concept of hell, it looms over our heads that we too may go to hell when our rotors explode into little fragments.

This is the "lightning bolt" squadron patch for the Strike Fighter Weapons School, Atlantic for the F/A-18 Hornet and the F-14 Tomcat located at NAS Oceana, VA. When the schools combined the officers got together to brainstorm a new design and command motto. Across the top of the triangle patch it says "Advocati Diaboli", loosely translates to "Devil's Advocates".

As for the religious thing, I am not offended by a name including satanic references.  Does this mean I'm a satanic worshiper?  Absolutely not.  If I attend church that would be approximately 1 or two hours a week out of my week that I devoted to God(and throughout the week whenever I remembered that I was religious), but since I am either on this board, riding my bike, or working on it for over 20 hours each week, it would seem that I worship my bike more than I do any religion.  Plus, God is a cool guy...he invented cool...he won't freak out about a patch with a depiction of what humans think the devil looks like.  It actually reinforces religion.  God is perfectly camoflauged without the devil.

So we started off on the biker name tangent and I was worried that we wouldn't get any name suggestions but you guys came up with so many good names I am having troubles deciding which one to pick.  You all came through in true GS fashion.  I appreate your participation. :thumb:

Thanks for the summary.  Since one of those is my baby, I wanted to point out that there were several versions, which were meant as kind of a plays on this web site:

GodSTwin, GodSTWIN, etc.

Ditto what you said about religion, but I'm not crazy about putting "Satan" on there.  Devils are a little more PC all around.  Lots of sports teams, etc. use "devil" in their names, but "Satan"?  I mean, being from "The Great Satan" maybe I should appreciateit, but I agree it might cause trouble.

If none of these, then somewhere out there is the perfect name.  What's a few more pages in the thread until we find it?

I like the GS500 rim with GSMC Northeast on it, the logo is readily identifiable with the GS500, add some smoke and I think we got a wiener!
But I still think a poll would be in order. With patches nominated, logos researched and price points taken into consideration. (the more complex the more money)
GSTWIN could also sell the patches of varying sizes to anyone with over a certain amount of posts. (or anyone with the $$)
I like the idea and hope it comes into fruition.

I don't know the logo you're discussing, but I agree that something could be done with the wheel.  If it could spoof that "West Coast Choppers" logo in a funny way, that could also be a plus.  The Yahoo Savage/S40 group did something like that, http://home.comcast.net/~ccantley/bslawnsm.jpg but we could be more ambitious.  Replace that cross with the GS wheel.  Or maybe just a profile of the whole naked bike.  Or naked bike and faired bike on the same logo.  Hmm.....I oculd see where a bunch of money thrown at it could come up with something really cool.

Well, for starters, I live in Seattle...

I don't think it would be out of the realm of affordability to offer different patches to different folks with different strokes.  I was thinking of one general GSTwin patch and another for all of us bad boys and girls that have a sense of humor regarding religion/the devil/death/mortality.

BTW, if you are tallying interests, please include me in the latter of the two groups that you propose.  It is way too late for me to start obeying all the rules, all of the time.

It's not specifically included in the 10 Commandments simply because humans were unaware of the ozone layer 2000 years ago, but riding a motorcycle or any vehicle that produces harmful emissions would probably be deemed to be less than reverent behavior and included in them, IMHO.  I don't see how God would condone operating a machine that produces emissions that are harmful to all living things...Thou shalt not kill......The question the would be; is it ok to kill very slowly with minute amounts of emissions?  Or, would it be ok then to slip a little bit of arsenic into my enemy's drink and kill him slowly over several years? Or are we all slowly suicidal and don't care about the welfare of our future descendants and the future of the planet?  Or do we just do our best to ignore it?  I do.

Sigh - we're trying to come up with a symbol of our club solidarity and yet we can't get past regional differences in language usage.  The term et cetera is Latin, and consists of two separate words.  From dictionary.com (http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=et%20cetera)...and + cetera, the rest][/list:u]So, the term literally means "and the rest".

One group of "English users" chooses to preserve the entire first word (et) and to abbreviate the second word (cetera) down to one letter, thus: etc.

Another group chooses to abbreviate both words, taking the first letter of the first (very small) word and two letters from the longer one, thus: ece.

Who's to say which is the correct way to abbreviate Latin?  :dunno: The latter usage seems more "equal opportunity" to me.  :roll:

sorry if I bogarted your FS wheel pic from ebay  :mrgreen:


I think this suggestion is the best one so far. The wheel is readily recognizable as a GS wheel, it leaves room for caption and with some smoke and/or flames it would look sweet!
I think the nature of this thread should be modified slightly to include logo suggestions (posted) along with names.

I think that wheel patch is good..maybe you can make it look like its burning out by having the dirt behind it being kicked up and make the wheel look like it'spinning.  Just an idea.

I tend to prefer a recognizable part of the bike over the bike as a whole. like the tailsection, or the wheel (oh, that's my horn I'm tootin'), or the instrument cluster. I think stuff like that tends to look a little more classic. I'm kinda tall so I'd like to minimize cartoon elements, if for no other reason than to selfishly cut down on my own "clown factor"

Title: Gods Twin and who we are!
Post by: Gods Twin on January 29, 2005, 06:56:45 PM
Hi folks,

I just typed "Godstwin" and/or "Gods Twin" into a search engine out of curiosity (which allegedly killed the cat!) and came across your site and message board! My reason for the initial search is that I am the singer in a Glasgow (Scotland) based band called......Gods Twin! As you can imagine, I was amazed to see someone else using the name outside of musical or magickal circles (more on the origin of the phrase later for anyone who cares). So I thought I'd take this opporchance-ity to plug my band to a group of complete and total strangers!

Anyhow, we're basically a balls-out rock/metal band influenced by, to name a few, Soundgarden, Motley Crue, Our Lady Peace & Faith No More. I'm Tommy, the singer and there's another three dudes on guitar, bass & drums. We have written, recorded & performed as Gods Twin since 2003 and have a good following. At present, we're unsigned but have two self-financed EP's available (E-mail me if you're remotely interested in getting a copy of them) and you can check out the website for pics, audio, video & other stuff on: http://www.godstwin.com. You're more than welcome to e-mail me for more info or whatever on either:

godstwin@hotmail.co.uk    or    eat_the_jobby@hotmail.co.uk

As for the meaning of the phrase "Gods Twin", it's based in kabbalistic terminology. Although I do have an interest in magick, I simply thought that it was a good, memorable name for a band! The phrase itself is a transliteration of the hebrew word "Thaumiel" meaning "Twins Of God" (Linguistically, this is broken down into "Thaum" basically meaning "Twin" and "El" the feminine form of the Hebrew word for "God" which is "Al". So "Thaum" "I" "El" = Twins Of God. - Yes, it's sad that I actually know this but it's something I'm interested in!). So any kabbalists reading this can chastise me for any errors and everyone else can think I'm an oddball. :)

Well, that's all I had to say so PLEASE check out the website and/or e-mail us if you want to hear more about "Gods Twin" the band.

Thanx for reading & All the best,

Tommy  :)

The site's now up but the media is being updated at present so bear with us.

As for anything remotely satanic - No way! My personal interests involve magick, certainly not satanism which is more of a philosophy than a religion. I am of no religion & the band is nothing to do with my occultism - I just thought it was a good name!

So anyone who checks the site - Thanks!

I thought that the first Gods Twin band post was kinda wierd. There was a single obscure post that happened to contain the phrase "Godstwin" so he registers and writes a post about his band. Somewhat strange, but whatever. :dunno:

The second post... seriously. You made your first post on a message board and it was about as off-topic as you get. It even came complete with dead links. What were you expecting? Rave reviews and showers of complements?
Title: The GS club
Post by: Kerry on February 09, 2005, 12:24:41 AM
OK, but by the same token that first post could have been mercifully ignored.  To slam something sight unseen (or sound unheard) wasn't exactly neighborly.

Still, I was rather surprised at the metamorphosis from the well-written (if off-topic) first post to the lashing-out, defensive second post.  Maybe he was having a bad day.   :dunno:

Dude, I do not care what you think about the band just as I'm sure that you dont care what I think about you. My reasons for my initial posting were made clear and you can obviously read so I refer you back to them. Yes, it's entirely unrelated to this site and, had it not been for your obnoxious comments, it would have been my only posting which the moderator on the website would have been free to remove if they wished.

What about something tasteful , like the logo/sig/graphics at the top left hand side of this Web site. The GStwin Grp!? Maybe do a curved road graphic of the GS portion, ala Carroll Shelby('CS' graphic from the '60s)? Positioned behind "Grp" would be national flag colors. If a local region,province,state wanted to have a local chapter that would be, as an example, GStwin Grp.Suncoast Region, or DownEasters, or Dubliners, etc.
No need to polarize our fellow riders, our friends or families, or the non-riding public. If I didn't wnat to be discreet, stealthy and tasteful, I ride a big, overweight, cumbersome, loud V-twin! (I'm not naming any brands here :lol:
