I am pretty thin and not at all slug like so Jabba is out, however, "Lord Vader" is good. :lol:

from what i've seen 'boss' has to be involved in this. asking him for advice would be a very good start. if you're talking racing i respectfully suggest that trail riders run to the back of the queue for the advice giving stakes. area yes but the machinations - eeeeuuuww!

eric and dez i did say "area yes but machinations - eeeuw!" so feel free to put your ten pence in like3 everyone else. we need to know what would be good publicity, or a prank, or proof of endurance etc etc!

that's something that those who race can't see too clearly as their noses are pressed to the windows!

"area yes but machinations - eeeuw!"

Taff ole boy. What does the above mean? I guess I don't understand english errr....... Welsh

I have been watching this thread for a few days and have saw some good ideas. What does BMG want to do, a team for select events or team for different series? I think taking some of the local series, NETRA, SETRA, SERA. etc. with some good solid riders, they don't have to be the overall winner every week, but in the hunt. I know everybody wants a top GNCC rider but that will cost $$$ and the top guys have roped off pit areas that a normal person can't even get to. It's funny at the GNCC Lafferty has this big pit area and has the autograph signing, then the next week he will be at a National Enduro leaning on the side of his truck talking to whoever! I agree with whoever said we don't want Husaberg to be mainstream, however lets get as many out there as we can so they can stay in business. Personally, I am taking on the SETRA enduros, so if anybody is in Daytona for bike week look me up at the Alligator enduro. I'll be the one on the HUSABERG!!

I have the solution to the problem
Give ME the berg and I will ride the Trans America trail and prove the relibality of the beast. It is something I am going to do either this year or next anyway and free bike would be GREAT.
PS. I need a partner. I dont think Brenden has a bike anymore.

bergy

it's easy, how many times do they (jedi) have to spell it out/ it's up to us!

what we should do is show a lot of voluntary effort coz that's for free and we should cut our cloth according to our purse!

eric: machinations means the small integral machinery of the thing. or the nitty gritty as you might say. your views are WANTED and welcome.

but if someone says take on lafferty once again!

do some free public stunt that you can all be involved in. for free! raise some funds by doing the suspenders correctly and letting people ride it. if they like it charge themm to have their own done. nobody is going to knock the integrity of a non-profitmaking group of die-hard enthusiasts!

My trials bike is still running! I can still go!! I will be able to get one of the others running before then. If not, you can let me use your drz, right buddy ol' pal? You have enough vacation time to do the transam, and the Fryguy ride? After my March China trip, I am only going to have 20 hours/4 weeks of vacation time left for the year. I hope that will be enough. If not, I am supposed to be receiving an extra week next year, if you decide to hold off till then. I am sure your wife will appreciate me going with you to help you ride safer, since I am the safest and sanest rider out of all your riding buddys.

I agree that the transam trail would be a fantastic promo event, if taken advantage of. You guys can read about it at http://www.transamtrail.com.
We could make a reality type tv show out of it , just like those two actor jokers who rode their bmws around the world (Long way around). A couple of guys did most of it on their ktm 525s last year. Check out the video at http://www.putfile.com/media.php?n=transam2005&width=320

We can do that by just having Taffy ride off some more cliffs in Moab, and film it!! We can have Crash-fu master Taffy demonstrate his 20 point super crash and roll technique, so anyone can safely walk away from any disaster, like Launchpad McQuack from the cartoon Tailspin! It would be such a humanitarian contribution, we would all probably win the nobel peace prize!

i think the inside of your mind would make an excellent drama crisis type documentary brendan. it could be called journey into space and infinity.

keep taking the pills.

Man, look what happens when a person is away!!!

This idea was discussed very briefly a couple years ago, the budgets were produced then it disappeared. I think the lesson learned is that UHE shouldn't produce, manage and maintain the entire effort. It just would't work until a foundation of experience within the UHE group was created.

Personally, I suggest two ideas. Get our Json to collect the cash and poll for the effort. If the membership is to pay then they decide.

My opinion is this. Remember the KISS theory. Simple is this. Contribute to an existing, successfull race effort. And yes Eric, I would love to see you in LV, and I would garantee that you would be entertained!!!! However, UHE best interests lie in helping my good friend BOSS. Get some UHE graphics done for him, send him the kiddy and smile when we read results, look at photos etc.

If Baja is on someones, plate, then that should be considered as well, but only if its an established effort, ie experienced in the 1000.

I think its a cool idea, there are a lot of true enthusiasts on this site, who have seen the brand through a lot of strife. What better reward for them than to see Their bike on a result sheet.

Considering Rick Bozarth is an accomplished competitor, Husaberg dealer, already committed to a race venue and the UHE / BMG limited budget I do believe investing in "The BOSS Effort" to make the most sense.

My personal objectives are high profile, albeit very expensive.
From a business vantage (unit sales) it is indeed difficult to justify the expense of a program capable of winning the Peoria TT.

When the helmets come off we are on the same team. I wish Rick the best of luck in his venture with or without BMG / UHE support.


Dale

I dont think i should be involved in this venture due to the fact

im a dealer & get some help already for that.

But i would like some help in pitting on my coin of course,

will have some goodys for the helpers let me no!!!!!

OK!
Then I propose an operating budget of $20k to field a Peroia and Springfield GNC TT assault. 8O

Said budget is in addition to product and product support.

Check it out for yourself:

Boss

I wish you luck, when is the VtoR?

So its a LR effort or is the old guy campaign still alive? Hey, one way will allow all the UHE hard core racers to live vicariously, while the old guy team lets the membership go home with rusty elbows!!!!! Both are viable and, when it came down to it, entertaining ideas.

Bobzilla, were you in on the old guy team? There is a wealth of experience there!!!

Keep up the energy guys, I know that there is yet some brilliance lurking there some where.

My cheque is on the way to Json.

I think perhaps one of te biggest issues at hand is the question of exactly how much financial support can be generated by the site. I think this is an issue that must be cleared up before we can continue.
I have delt with the site on a few projects requiring monitary donations before. I think I have a little bit of a feel for it and I think I have a number that may be realisticaly obtainable. That is why I have continually stressed low budget and high volunterism.

Cutting to the chase.
Dale proposed an assult on Peoria with a budget of $20,000. I suspect the actual donnations could reach anywhere from 10-25% of that number. I realize that I may be completely out of line for even suggesting a number, but thought we had to start somewhere.

I propose that we start another thread to make public pledges for the cause of a .org race team and see where it takes us from there.
As I have been reminded so many times recently "money talks and BS walks" . Lets see exactly how much interest there is and exactly who is interested. Once we have a budget we can then consider what form of racing might best suit the team.

I really do not expect UHE and / or BMG to fund a $20k plus venture for two races. I was merely attempting to drive my point home regarding the cost of a "real" racing effort.

Truth be told even with a budget I am out of the mix as I have prior obligations.

A reality check of sorts was my intention.

Sincerely,
Dale

PS
Just FYI:
Our RR tire budget for three weekends of racing is $10,000. I do not like it, however, such is what it takes. :?

I'm one of the "new" guys around here. For my two cents a run at the SCORE series culminating with an assault on the 1000 in a sportsmans class, either class 30 or 40 would be the best bet. I'm sure good riders could be found and making the podium would be very attainable. Not alot of cash would need to be dumped into the race bike, after all aren't Bergs "race ready"? Forget those so called "professional pits" It's more fun to do it with your own guys, and pre-running can also be a blast as well as the source of endless funny stories. Watch Dust to Glory a few times catch the fever I love Mexico!

Kenny and I will be fielding an 06 R1 LE in three consecutive rounds of the AMA Super Bike Championship Series beginning with Laguna Seca. This is in addition to the Spanish Championship.

For 2007 we have high hopes of contesting the entire series.

Sounds pretty awesome to me :twisted: It is very good to see you guys working together once again.

Looking forward to it - and the best of luck to you both.
