Ok, I am coming into this late but why the LOTR restrictions? If that was
the case why dont they have to pay huge money to use the name rivendell? I
am sure there is a story I am just ignorant of. Oh and shame Smoothie is
taken by SOMA, that would have been a shweet name for the bike.

Excellent thought. More famous than Quickbeam, so probably off the
table. I think of Mark Abele's grey Rivendells when I think of a bike
called "Shadowfax."

Too bad about the LOTR restriction, by the way. Wouldn't "Shadowfax"

Thanks for pointing that out, I'd missed it. I doubt he'd use the
name "Hiawatha" itself out of consideration for Jim Thill, but it
sounds like he may be playing with the idea of using one out of the
Longfellow work. It would certainly go along with the use of

I went to college in a town called Amherst- as awful a name, due to its
history, as any word or name that has been appropriated from Native
American language.But it's just a name, and better that it be used and
not forgotten by the general public than otherwise.

There are a couple of Northern MN tribes that may qualify good naming. While
