EASYRIDERS TO SUPPORT BIKERNET’S YEAR OF THE VETERAN–You will have the opportunity to see and touch the Assalt Weapan and buy raffle tickets at all ER Bike Shows in 2009 as we lead up to Sturgis. The Assalt Weapan will be awarded in Sturgis of ’09 and the winner will be flown to Bub’s Bonneville to be a member of the 5-Ball Racing team and help us set another record. There, he or she will take possession of the World’s Fastest Panhead, after the experience of a lifetime.
The proceeds of this raffle will go to the Fisher Foundation a Veteran’s Charity with a long and accomplished history of helping veterans during hospitalization by supporting their families. More on the Fisher Foundation in the near future.
Many thanks to John Green and the Easyriders event staff. Check out their Pro-Builder Competition for 2008. For $250 a builder could win $200,000 in promotion for his business.
BIKERNET READER APPRECIATES TECH ADVICE– I wanted to thank you for the tips on hard brake lines made the job easier and less wasted material. So after the brake lines I got ambitious and decided to do the hard line for the oil system with SS seamless 3/8 tubing and bought the old style hard line oil fittings. Theirs the rub the angle on the end of the fitting are not common. The big question is what did the guys do back in the day if a line broke, kinked or whatever. What was the tool they used to flare the tubing they were replacing? I was hoping you would know or know someone who does.
I am attaching a few pics of project Ugly Betty.
Thanks and Semper Fi

BIKERNET HEALTH ADVISORY,Vicks Vaporub–Although the scientists at the Canada Research council (who discovered it) aren’t sure why, It works 100% of the time .
To stop nighttime coughing in a child (or adult as we found out personally), put Vicks Vaporub generously on the bottom of the feet at bedtime, then cover with socks. Even persistent, heavy, deep coughing will stop in about5 minutes and stay stopped for many, many hours of relief.
Works 100% of the time and is more effective in children than even very strong prescription cough medicines. In addition it is extremely soothing and comforting and they will sleep soundly.
It was a surprising finding and found to be more effective than prescribed medicines for children at bedtime, in addition to have a soothing and calming effect on sick children who then went on to sleep soundly.

THE BONNEVILLE GOD HAS SPOKEN– We hope that you had a very happy Thanksgiving. In-spite of our email and web silence we have been working hard to prepare for the coming 2008 5th Annual BUB Speed Trials.
We are confirming the dates with the BLM, and are in the process of renewing our permit for the use of the Salt Flat. This year the BLM has offered to renew our permit for a 10 year period- so we are planning to stick around and keep doing this as long as you want to race!
Our dates planned for ’08 are 31st August- 5th September. We are planning on opening registration and scrutnieering all day Saturday (30th) and start racing first thing Sunday morning- through to noon on Friday. This adds a full extra day racing to our schedule.
Right now we are going through our rule review process, and we invite your input regarding updates and changes for these rules. We have attached a ‘Request for rule change’ form that must be completed for the request to be valid. Please remember that we will do our best to diligently review the information- weigh the pro and cons of changes and assess each request carefully. The ultimate decision lays with the AMA.
We process the request and put forth the BUB suggestions, compiled from information from our scrutnieering staff and these request forms for submission to the AMA. Please only include valid requests and complete the form fully. We will acknowledge your request being received and do our best to keep you updated on the result. Our aim is to have the 2008 rules ready by the end of January for download.
ALL REQUESTS MUST BE SUBMITTED BY DECEMBER 12TH TO BE CONSIDERED.
The form is a filable pdf with an email button- similar to our entry forms online. They can be emailed, mailed or faxed (please fax or email for the quickest delivery).
Finally- we were the very proud of all recipients of National and World records. There were several participants that where presented with their National records at the Annual AMA Sports Awards Banquet in Las Vegas on the 16th November. BUB Racing/BUB Enterprises was also the recipient of the 2007 AMA Track Racing Organizer of the Year and we share that achievement with you and our sponsors! Our thanks to you all!
Of course if you have any questions at any time please do not hesitate to contact us
We hope you and yours continue to have a happy and safe holiday season!
From all the staff at BUB Racing!

MERRY MERRY AS WE HEAD INTO THE HOLIDAYS–Try to find time to relax and share drinks with relatives and pals. So there?s some of our oblique thinking for 2008 and lots more to come. But we?re emersed in the holidays and should be, so I will continue to investigate, before I spill all our plans for ?08 and ?09.
The beacon of guiding light for the next year will be our veterans and anything Bikernet can do for them. Hang on for further reports, notes and notions. Don?t hesitate to drop me a line, if you have an idea, a recommendation or would like to sponsor our efforts.
Ride Forever,
