THORPE

I've been dreaming all my life of owning my own legit business that focused on bikes in one form or another. I've worked at numerous bike shops and grew up in a family owned business so I know the ropes of business and eat sleep and drink bikes anyway. I'm finally debt free so I figured what better time than now.

I love everything about motorcycles from stuntbikes to pitbikes to dirtbikes to drag to road race to etc........I LOVE BIKES, you get the picture.

I got my business license and I've been through the state training for dealers license and all that. I'm ready to start except one thing, I CAN'T COME UP WITH A NAME! At least not one that I can picture on a sign or as a sticker on the side of somebodies bike. I can photoshop my logos and all if I can just find the letters to start with.

I plan to mostly sell online and locally all the popular salvage bikes and parts but I will also be buying clear title bikes when they come through the auction or swap wholesale with other dealers. I do have a Full time salary job already so it will be part time at first and hopefully grow to more just like anybody else would hope. I don't want say the "THank god it's Friday; Oh **** it's Monday?" anymore. I belive if you love what you do and you have integrity you will prosper.

I also plan to help the locals with ebay with an Ebaystore and shipping depot. Looks like my wife will be fulltime

Like I said, I do have a full time job so I will not be surviving off of the profit and go belly up in 6 months.

That being said, I plan to have the best deals around and if you know me at all you know that I will give you more info than you ever want to know about something when I'm making a deal. I have no reason not to be honest. I always believe the truth is where it's at.

Anyway I'm not trying to sell myself, yet, but I just want to give a little background.

So...... help me get started and throw out some names on here. I want room to grow with a name so it will have to be more than just a stunt related name or salvage & parts. They also have to be available .COM names too!
If I use your idea before somebody steals the name and gets it registered I will hook you up with shirts, stickers, and we will negotiate a % off parts or bikes or whatever I can do to help you out.

I will also try my best to be a proud Sponsor for stuntlife.com because if it weren't for this site, I know I wouldn't be anywhere near where i am as far as riding and friends.

THORPE

THORPE

shky4

I suck at coming up with names, but good luck Frankie!

THORPE

Me too obviously!
thanks man I'll hook you b'ham guys up with some stickers a soon as I get it goin

DerekMey

good luck bro......when u gonna come up and ride? and i'll def be buying my parts from ya.

THORPE

Man I gotta put all I can back into the business so it may be a while before I can keep a bike for my self.....sacrafice. I may "test ride" a few tho here and there.

Hey I know it's short notice but our town festival is this Saturday if you want to show out a little. Call me if youre interested.

BISHOP PHILLIPS

sometimes a simple name will help out the most... if you ar selling parts and stuff. you dont want people to wonder what you are selling... why not thorpe's cycle center

steven-o

or mixedcycles. since your gonna be selling parts to all kinds of different bikes

THORPE

I agree with you I just don't want to sound small time (which I am) and not to keen on the way it looks....www.thorpescyclecenter.com

I really like short names. When somebody is looking for a part or bike everybody could just say "Go to _ _ _ _ _ _ cycles (or something of that manner), they gots the deals"

No worries about mispelling or missing part of the name. I already have to repeat the spellin of my name every time someone else writes it.

Not bashing your input man I do appreciate it!!!

I know you don't have a second chance to make a first impression so I have critiqued myself out of everything so far

THORPE

not bad not bad.

what about www.forcycle.com ?

MCGYVER

In my opinion you want something that can be easily said or abreviated for example where I live "Percels motorsport" (said as percels), "North Jax motorsports" (North jax), or in my personal case "904cycles" (904). We (stunt904) are pretty well know in our small community so we used that to our advantage. If it seems to long for you to say don't use it.

THORPE

+1

That's the kinda impression I want. SHort and unforgetable.

Like Argo you can't forget that name once you say it

THORPE

WOAH! my post count was 666 I had to get off that!

BISHOP PHILLIPS

no problem bro... i have a degree in business and marketing... i was just throwing something out there... in the end do whats good for you.... ... but it is a proven fact the business names with one or two syllables are 40% more likely to succed... nike,reebok, walmart, sears, redline cycles, or even stasis ..... but good luck in your business... i will more then likely be a customer...at some point and time

sp33ddemon19

Something easy to spell for sure dynasty moto/motorsports, just 2 wheels,universal moto/motorsports, ill post more as i think of them lol

THORPE
