TEXAS GUITAR–I figure you have a ton of land speed stuff Congratulations! and Sturgis stuff still but what the heck. Here are a couple images of the guitar painted by Southern Metal Choppers for the Austin Guitar Town project with Gibson and the break down of the Blackbird rear hub. You may know more about it, I do not have a lot of time with Triumphs, but that rear hub is cool. Still waiting for his background info.
–RFR
Very cool. That Triumph hub is rare. I had one once, and I believe Rich Whitehead from Custom Cycle Engineering is putting the final touches to a new model of that classic design.–Bandit

HERO EFFORTS FOR THE TROOPS–We met about a year ago, I had dinner at your place a few days before you left for the La Carrera race. Donnie Weaver brought me by. I hope everything is well with you and your family.
I live about 10 miles from the Johnson Space Center outside of Houston. There is a lot of Patriotic stuff going on all the time, so I got together with a group of people and helped to form a 501 (c)(3) fundraising organization called HelpingAHero.org. We raise funds for injured War on Terror Veterans.
We are having three events at the end of this month, one of them being a motorcycle ride through Houston (on Sunday, October 1st), ending at a really cool club right on the bay in Seabrook. The link to our site is http://www.helpingahero.org/ .
We would appreciate it if you could post an announcement on your website so the riders in the Houston area can find out about it.

TAKE OUT A MOMENT FOR THE SERVICEMEN OVERSEAS–If you don’t think our military pilots earn their pay .. you need to take a look at this picture … and then look again and realize what you’re seeing .
This photo was taken by a soldier in Afghanistan of a helo rescue mission. The pilot is a PA Guard guy who flies EMS choppers in civilian life. Now how many people on the planet you reckon could set the rear end of a chopper down on the roof top of a shack on a steep mountain cliff and hold it there while soldiers load wounded men in the rear??? If this does not impress you … nothing ever will.
Gives me the chills and a serious case of the vertigo … I can’t even imagine having the nerve … much less the talent and ability …
God Bless our military!!!!!
NATIONAL RECORD FOR THE CHOP N GRIND TEAM–Were Back…with a national record in Modified Push Rod Gas 1650 cc. It’s true. Next door to our tent was the Chop N Grind, sand snortin’ bastards, with all the tools and parts. They helped me throughout the week and even saved a streamliner effort with a spare Evo ignition system.
I’m a newbie to Bubs Bonneville and their team captain, Larry, is an experienced racer. We kicked off the runs with our Accurate 120-inch Pan, 140 mph run, they came back with a 143 mph pass. Another day passed and we hit 145 mph. That’s when Larry’s expertise took over. He hit 147 and 152 for a new record in his open class.

BILANSKY RIDES BUELL TO ASRA THUNDERBIKE WIN AT AUTOBAHN–JOLIET, Ill. (Sept. 10, 2006) – Hal’s H-D/Buell-Hal’s Speed Shop rider Dan Bilansky rode a Buell XB12R Firebolt to win the American Sportbike Racing Association (ASRA) Thunderbike National at the Autobahn Festival of Speed, held at the Autobahn Country Club South road course. The win was the second ASRA Thunderbike victory of the season for the rider from Waukesha, Wis.
Buell riders filled the Thunderbike podium, as Veatch Motorsports rider Dave Estok finished second and H-D/Buell of Frederick rider Bryan Bemisderfer was third. Eleven of the 15 ASRA Thunderbike entries were Buell motorcycles.
Estok, the defending National Thunderbike champion, topped qualifying for the event on Saturday with a lap of 1:30.826 seconds on the two-mile course. The start of the race saw the Buell Firebolt of Sound Waves/Hal’s Speed Shop rider Joe Rozynski take the early lead, ahead of a pack that included Bemisderfer, Bilansky, Estok and Suzuki-mounted Ed Key. Bilansky worked his way to the front and took the lead on lap four of the 14-lap race, and opened a comfortable gap on Estok, Bemisderfer and Key.
“The Hal’s team had a flawless weekend,” said Bilansky. “We didn’t have a single mechanical problem, the Buell V-twin engine was strong, and I think we broke the track record for Thunderbike during the race. We were really happy with the performance of our Pirelli tires. They were as good at the end of the race as they were on the first lap.”
Key finished the race in fourth position, followed by Buell riders Paul James (Hal’s Speed Shop/Spyder Leatherworks), Sam Rozynski (Sound Waves/Hal’s Speed Shop), and David Myers (Delta Distributing). Ron Kopec was eighth on a Honda, followed by the Buells of Greg Avello (Hal’s Speed Shop/Badger Motorsports) and Darren Conrad (Conrad’s H-D/Buell).
Buell racers also took three wins and 10 podium finishes during the Championship Cup Series support races at Autobahn. Estok won CCS Expert Thunderbike, Bilansky won CCS Expert SuperTwins, and James was the winner in CCS Expert Lightweight SuperSport.
By finishing ahead of Bemisderfer, Estok retains his Thunderbike season points lead. After seven of eight races, Estok has 191 points, Bemisderfer is second with 180 points, and Bilansky moves up to third with 164 points. Sam Rozynski is fourth with 142 points, while BMW rider Nate Kern, who did not race at Autobahn, falls back to fifth with 134 points. The next and final race on the 2006 ASRA Thunderbike National schedule is during the 23rd Annual Race of Champions, October 20-22, at Daytona International Speedway, Daytona Beach, Fla.
