What’s in a title?

So it’s about to happen, but we need a title.

200+ pages of single-spaced, profusely-illustrated motorcycle content from the two Joes who started ExNotes. The collected works, so to speak. With selections including magazine articles, road tests, opinion pieces, travel stories, ExNotes blog posts, and even a few listicles. American bikes, European bikes, Japanese bikes, Indian bikes, Chinese bikes, vintage bikes, modern bikes, dream bikes, wild conjectures, and more. A Foreword by none other than Jack Lewis, perhaps the brightest and most literate star in the motojourno constellation. It’s about to land.  The book is already written. All we need is the title. That’s where you can help. That, and of course, buying the book.

We’ve got a few titles we’re considering:

Dos Joes
Dos Moto Joes
Two Good Joes
The Two Moto Joes
Moto Stories from Joe and Joe
The Collected Works of Joe and Joe
The Collected Works of Two Moto Guys
Motorcycle Stuff
Motorcycle Musings

We’re not limiting our title selection to the above. If you’ve got a better idea, let’s hear it.  Whoever makes the winning suggestion gets a free, signed copy of whatever we decide to call it.  After we’re dead, it will be worth a lot of money, and we’re not spring chickens.

  1. I got it, no need to look further. “A Cup O’ Joes”. Which is a play on having a “cup of Joe”(coffee). What did I win? I suspect nothing. Anyways, you can put me down for a book already.

  2. The Semi-complete (Non-Exhaustive) Works of a Couple of Moto Joes

  7. All of the suggested names are so bad my brain is having trouble recovering from the shock of reading them .
    Don’t know what I actually would expect from A Couple of Regular Joes.
    But let’s hope for a major improvement going forward.

  12. Why wouldn’t it be called Exhaust Notes?
    Doh!
    Unless of course that would give the impression to prospective buyers that they have already read these 200 pages of repeats.
    This whole exercise as been , I dare say, exhausting .

  15. Just started my first cup of coffee, so the creative juices are mostly still in the pot. So I base my notion on Sir Issac’s last line: ‘This whole exercise has been, dare I say, exhausting.’ Subtitled ‘Exhaust Notes with Joe and Joe.’
