Owners group for us with an acronym like..."HOG", or "RAT" or the like?

I know there are clubs out there, but just throwing this out for discussion.

Not sure Triumph would like us using their owners group acronym.

Hog, is of course Hardly David's Son.

 There is the REOC (Royal Enfield Owners Club).

There is/was a Royal Enfield Association that was started on this website about 6 or 8 years ago, but there wasn't sufficient interest to keep it alive. It has its own section down lower on the main forum page.

as the modern Enfields are all bullets (including the continental gt as is uses a bored bullet engine), might I suggest gunners.
Now 2011 Royal Enfield G5 and just added 2014 Continental GT and latest 2015 Ducati 803 Scrambler Urban Enduro
Then:-
1978 Ducati 900 GTES
1969 Ducati 350 Desmo Racer
1972 Mototrans Ducati 250 24 Horas
1965 Triumph Tiger Cub 200
1967 BSA Bantum

RE is at present probably the fastest growing company I am aware of with a real product.  I believe Lal is right when he says this is going to be their decade, although the impact in the western world may not be as sever. Before I got my RE I made a bet in my engineering circles that this is going to happen. Some laught at the antique technology, mostly people who designed a shit in their lives but believe to be on the top of things. Year later the articles about the sales started pouring in....today people starting to realise the cost of complexity, so I think the RE community will continue to expand.

What about

ROYAL RIDERS
RIDERS ROYAL
ROYAL GUNNERS?

Farmer John:

The Royal Enfield Bullet is commonly known as a "Bull".

What more could you want?

Bulleteers has been in use for a long time as a "group" name.  "Bull" is a more "recent" (~40-50 years?) nickname for the Bullet.
