Santa Ana, Calif – (October 9, 2007) – Riding the wave of success following last year’s show series, Denis Manning, designer and builder of the BUB “#7” Streamliner, the world’s fastest motorcycle, and owner of BUB Enterprises, will once again participate in the Cycle World International Motorcycle Shows® Presented by Toyota 13-city tour with an expanded display area to feature even more record-breaking motorcycles. After participating in the 2006-2007 show series, BUB Enterprises, designer and manufacturer of aftermarket exhaust pipes for motorcycles and ATVs, saw their Web site hits jump substantially, increasing steadily from 1.78 million in October, during the first show in Phoenix, to 4.7 million in March, immediately following the final show in Atlanta.

The company also saw a 50 to 80 percent sales increase over the same period during the previous year when they were not a part of the series. “Our increase in sales and Web site visitors are certainly an indicator that the Cycle World International Motorcycle Shows contributed to BUB Enterprises’ steady growth last year,” said Denis Manning. “Both figures saw dramatic increases during the series, so we are thrilled to return to the shows this year with an expanded showcase.

The motorcycle show series puts us in front of hundreds of thousands of our core customers throughout the country making it the ideal spot to showcase our latest collection.” This year’s History of Speed display will not only showcase the current speed record holder, the BUB “#7” Streamliner, but also four other world-record breaking motorcycles. These landmark motorcycles will amaze crowds with their astonishing historical speed records, dating back to 1937 and reaching more than 350 mph. For the 15th consecutive year, Cycle World, the world’s most popular motorcycle magazine, is the title sponsor for the series and leading manufacturer Toyota will return for the tenth year as presenting sponsor. The Cycle World International Motorcycle Shows® presented by Toyota is the world’s largest motorcycle show series. For more information on upcoming tour dates, call 800/331-5706 or visit motorcycleshows.com.

I just learned of a critical situation that will be going on in Washington DC on March 17th. So critical that I have heard the call to be present in DC on that day. The call of  a group called Gathering of Eagles has brought to attention that there are anti-war protesters that wish to use the Vietnam Veterans Memorial also known as The Wall as prop in their political protest march to the Pentagon.

 I can not….. NO! I will not sit in Florida and wonder if there are enough volunteers that will show up to help protect The Wall. I will be standing with the eagles to send a message, a message that will be heard around the world.

Most important, a message that will be shown to our troops that are currently on tour and fighting with their lives on the line every day. The troops need to see that America cares about them then and now. They need to know they they are not forgotten, just as those who have already given the ultimate sacrifice are not forgotten. While the anti-war protesters from answer, code pink and other so called peace movement organizations claim they march for peace, we have seen the destruction and defacing that they have committed during past protests.

These anti-war protesters have the right to protest, but they are so very wrong if they think they will be able to approach The Wall as part of their demonstration. Leave The Wall out of it!

Gathering of Eagles, an impromptu coalition of veterans’ groups, pro-military organizations and Internet activists, wants to right the wrong. “We are a non-violent, non-confrontational group. We look to defend, not attack. Our focus is guarding our memorials and their grounds,” they explain. “We believe in and would give our lives for the precious freedoms found in our Constitution. We believe that our freedom of speech is one of the greatest things our country espouses, and we absolutely hold that any American citizen has the right to express his or her approval or disapproval with any policy, law or action of our nation and her government in a peaceful manner as afforded by the laws of our land.”

What the Eagles will not stand for, however, are “violence, vandalism, physical or verbal assaults on our veterans, and the destruction or desecration of our memorials. By defending and honoring these sacred places, we defend and honor those whose blood gave all of us the right to speak as freely as our minds think.”

Never Forget what they did for us.

 Don’t forget those who are fighting now.

The message needs to be clear that the Vietnam Memorial in Washington DC is sacred ground and there is no tolerance for political debate or abuse toward it and the honorable Americans that it represents. This can only be accomplished in numbers, strong numbers of Veterans, Friends, Family and Volunteers standing shoulder to shoulder in protection of our memorial.

What will I do? I am going to be there to help and document a very important day in American history. What can you do? Join us on March 17th in Washington DC to show we care. We care about and support the men and women that have fought in the past and we care and support those who are fighting now. If you can not make it for any reason, you can help me to make the trip. This month is a very expensive month for me as it is and finances would dictate that I not go, but I will not allow that to stop me. If you wish to help me with the added expense of travel to DC, click on the donation button to the right. Any amount is appreciated. If you are going to be in Daytona for Bike Week, hire me to do photo work of you and your motorcycle. If you can not afford to donate, help by spreading the word to your friends. Thanks for any effort you may be willing to give.

supermarkets showed strong growth in sales of frozen unbreaded crab,
refrigerated fruit, dip mixes, and dairy dips; while Indianapolis area

A consumer segmentation analysis from the marketing company Spectra revealed
some of the unique characteristics of Super Bowl viewers from Miami,
Indianapolis, and Chicago compared with national professional football fans.
Utilizing Spectra’s BehaviorScape framework, viewer characteristics can be
determined based upon BehaviorStages (which bring to life key household factors
that impact consumer purchasing behavior), and LifeStyles, (which further
differentiate consumers by highlighting affluence and the neighborhood type in
which they live).
For instance, most viewers of professional football across the U.S. typically
watch on the weekend one or more times per month, and tend to come from affluent
neighborhoods from a variety of household types. They span across all
neighborhood types and tend to skew toward couples 35+ without children in the
household as well as singles under 35 with no children. Popular Super Bowl
snacks that skew highly across the average US viewer are bags of nuts, brats,
popcorn, and frozen poultry.
Super Bowl viewers in the host city of Miami watch the game on TV live in
both urban and affluent suburban households across household types.
Indianapolis residents who watched the Super Bowl last year generally come
from rural and downscale suburban neighborhoods. Additionally:
– Indianapolis viewers purchase above average amounts of sausage, buns,
and brats than the average viewer.– Indianapolis viewers are likely to do their grocery shopping (possibly
for Super Bowl snacks) at Wal-Mart, Aldi, or Kroger.

– There is also a very high concentration of Super Bowl viewers who are
likely to shop in smaller accounts such as IGA and Buehler’s Buy Low.

Chicago residents who watched the Super Bowl last year likely live in urban
and affluent suburban households across household types. Additionally:

– Viewers in Chicago tend to purchase more bagged nuts, beer, frozen
poultry and meat than the average viewer.

– Chicago viewers are likely to do their grocery shopping (possibly for
Super Bowl snacks) in Dominick’s, Trader Joe’s, and Whole Foods.

There is also a very high concentration of Super Bowl viewers who are likely
to shop in smaller accounts such as Wild Oats and Sunset Food Marts.

So by the numbers, it looks like on Super Bowl Sunday Americans prefer to eat tortilla chips, drink light beer but regular soda throw some frozen steaks and chicken on the grill while munching on cocktail franks. It appears that there is a toss up in dipping your tortilla chips on eating prepared nachos. Either way we seemed to have consumed over 10 million dollars in tortilla chips and drink over 17 million dollars worth of beer washing them down.

These facts and statistics were compiled by and found at Nielsen Media Research, please visit their site for complete details.

Well, not really the event, but the Screaming Eagle Films Sturgis video”Stories from the road” is almost like being at the South Dakota motorcycle event. Unlike most videos that strictly show the uncensored or hot party of a motorcycle event, this video is about the ride. We have not yet made the trip to the otherwise sleepy little town of Sturgis, South Dakota to document the Sturgis motorcycle rally, but plans are being made for very near future visit.

Sturgis Bike Week is held the first full week in August of every year with the upcoming date for the 67th annual Sturgis rally to be held on August 6th through the 12th of 2007. Sometimes referred to as the Black Hills Rally, Sturgis Bike Week is held in the area of the Black Hills of South Dakota and Wyoming. The Mayor’s ride is now in the 5th season and is a beautiful motorcycle ride through the Black Hills to Mount Rushmore state park.

Watching the official Sturgis Video will get you revved up and ready for the 2007 motorcycle event season, and it is not far away. I will be posting updates and motorcycle rally information throughout the upcoming year, so keep an eye on my blog.

No better time for me to introduce to you a couple of my friends and their Vietnam Veterans Memorial. Tom and Dee Twigg of St. Cloud Florida began the project back in 1996.

They were at a Pow Wow for Thanksgiving and had set up a table with a chair that had only a uniform to honor those missing in action and prisoner of war.

A elderly women in a wheelchair approached the table. She had with her a Bronze Star and Purple Heart medal with citations that had belonged to her son who lost his life in the Vietnam war. She told them that because of her failing health, she feared that she would not be able to make it to the Vietnam Memorial Wall in Washington D.C. She wanted to leave the items at the table in his memory.

Dee Twigg told the woman to hold on to the medals for one year and they would bring the wall to her so that she could leave it there. Tom and Dee began constructing a small replica of the Vietnam Memorial Wall and returned to the same Pow Wow the next year. The woman was there with her son’s medal and laid them at the base of the wall in his remembrance. It was a very touching sight for the Twiggs and from that came the idea of Bringing Home the Wall.

The original wall that Tom and Dee created was on white paper and framed in panels to replicate the original wall in Washington DC. The concept was created when the Twiggs saw that there were many that simply could not get out to see a traveling wall, much less make the trip to Washington DC. So they have created a Vietnam Veterans Memorial that can be displayed indoors at Veteran’s hospitals and nursing homes. Places where there are people that are not able to get out because of health and/or financial abilities.

I met Tom and Dee at their display they had setup during Bike Week 2005 in Daytona Beach, Florida. My wife and I stopped in to take a few pictures for our Bike Week site and talked with the couple for a few minutes. As we walked away from the wall, we discussed what nice people we had met and wanted to help them. We turned around and discussed a web site for their cause. Turned out that they did not have one. Because web design is something that I do, we offered to build and host a web site as our donation toward helping the Vietnam Veterans Memorial. We have become close friends since that day and we try to get out to help and show support wherever the wall is being displayed.

The wall has been completely redesigned by Tom and Dee to look even more like the actual Vietnam Memorial. The wall now stands almost 8 foot tall at the tallest point and is printed on black laminated plastic with white lettering. The new wall was constructed and designed by the Twiggs in May of 2006 with very little financial aid to them. The only financial aid that the Twiggs receive is that of the modest donation jar that they put up at the wall during public displays. Usually the amount taken in is short of covering the expenses of transporting and setting up the wall.
This weekend on November 11th you are invited to come out and visit the wall. The Bringing Home the Wall Vietnam Veterans Memorial will be set up at the Lakeland City Center for you to visit. The wall will be escorted in to town by the U.S. Military Vets MC and there is to be a candle light walk to the wall at 6:30 pm. You can find more information on the Lakeland City Veteran’s Day activities at the City of Lakeland web site. They are calling the day A Celebration of Heroes and it will include musical entertainment, a parade and a welcome home for troops returning form the 116th and 495th. Come on out and show your support for the returning troops and those who have given the ultimate sacrifice for our country.

My wife and I will be on location all day to take photographs of the event. If you can’t make it this weekend for Veteran’s Day, then please visit my friend’s web site Bringing Home the Wall and sign the guestbook there. There is also a place on their web site where you can show appreciation for their efforts with a donation using Pay Pal. If you stop by this weekend be sure to look for me and let me know that you read about the event on my blog and thanks to all that visit and read it!

With Biketoberfest only 10 days away, I don’t want to see the weather start chilling off too much. Biketoberfest is one of the last big bike events of the year. Most certainly, it is for Florida. Looking forward to this event, I found that there is great way to get warmed up and ready to go.

Digging for some of the events planned in Daytona Beach for the Biketober weekend, I came across Sanford Bike Fest that is held this coming weekend in Sanford, Florida.

Looking over the events posted for the weekend in Sanford, I found they have quite a lineup of entertainment. With most the bands that are scheduled to play leaning more towards southern rock to scattered with a few country solo artist on two separate stages, the music should be pretty steady.

The opening act, however, is neither southern nor country and by the looks of the bands bio and play list, I look forward to seeing Dreams the Band a tribute to the living legend Stevie Nicks. This band performs songs like Gypsy and duets like one Stevie did with Tom Petty called “stop draggin my heart around”, this should be a good show. Their web site does not have any demo music, but the band looks as they have keyed in the feeling for a good tribute band.

Later in the day and all throughout the weekend, Team-X-Treem will be performing their street bike stunt show. I had the pleasure of experiencing and photographing this stunt show during this year’s Leesburg Bikefest. I can tell you, if you have not seen these guys, you are in for a treat. Wheelies, stopies, burnouts and stunts that will keep your eyes glued to the three riders. Adam Chumita, Chris Nichols and Todd Colbert put on a show to see. The photo gallery of the pictures that I took during Leesburg are at American Biker Lifestyle.

Of course, what Bikefest could be complete without a custom bike show? Touted as the “Bikes In the Wind Show” the custom bike show starts off at noon with 8 divisions to be judged. The Florida sun will be reflecting off of all the chrome and custom paint. I will be there with camera in hand. This will be a training shoot for my wife Cindi to use the new camera that I bought for here, so look forward to me posting some of the shots she takes during the show.

Saturday, October 14 promises to be exciting day with more live music all day and a remote broadcast from Orlando radio station 104.1 Real Radio. Added to all the vendors, bike show and music, there is going to be a live karate demonstration by High Stepper’s Karate Studio. The precision drill team will crank up their engines at 1:30 displaying timed drill motorcycle riding in the streets of downtown Sanford.

If you like Skynard, you are going to like Deep South. This band hits the main stage at 9:30 p.m. Friday night. I have not yet heard the band perform, but if you visit their web site, they have a few demo songs for you to hear. I look forward to hearing this band play “Sweet Home Alabama”.

This is only the second year for this bike fest and I did not attend the first one. It looks like it should be a good time for anyone that lives in the area, or feels like take a ride. I will report on how the 2nd annual Sanford Bike Fest turned out next week.

Watch for the article!
