Ranger, Pete! I feel you! I'm gonna bust his ass bad, in October!! Come watch! The question is, are you gonna' step to the plate again? Or........do you accept you spent money for nothing? Where's the Hot Rod Road Glide, Pete? Get it together, and come to FL in October. With my new modifications, and you behind me in the draft, I believe Ol' Hub will leave FL the Champion. Harry has basked in the sunlight of victory way too long. He's going down in October! 'Course, if you can't keep up, Pete, I understand. Later--HUBBARD

Yeah, I know Unc! At least I will still step out there, with some pretty good equipment, and twist it, with any and everybody, till it changes tunes, or blows apart, and will not let off till I've got beat, blown apart, or won the race. Which, BTW, I win everywhere, except against Harry, so far. And I know some of my fellow Hillbillies up here think a Hypo-Charger and a set of pipes gives them entrance into the world of HP, I seriously don't pick them as victims. I am selective! Nobody stays first hog at the trough forever. Especially when you don't give up. I don't give up. It may take mo money, and mo time, but the day is coming that I'll bust his big ass. It's coming!! The nay sayers be damned. I will prevail. Hide and watch. I will give Harry credit where credit is due, he's smart, he's got the money to go fast, and he's one of the chosen few left on this Earth that will ride like I do. WFO......all day.....everyday. Quite frankly, I lost my Ace in the hole, when Don Tilley got killed. Been tough getting past that. And I may never outrun Harry. But I bet I'm the toughest competition he's got, cause he knows when I show up, I'm there to Race. Harry ain't the Lone Ranger, and I ain't no rookie. It ain't just balls, nerve, and crazy. It's about air in, and air out. I'm old school and always believed bigger everything is always better. Wrong. I've got a 150 square Motor, and got beat. Big bucks!!! I'm pissed. I ain't just gonna' roll over and play dead. I'm like Rock & Roll. I'm here to stay!! So, I take on a little humility, and start over. It's only money. Speed cost money. How fast do I wanna' go? As fast as I can. Love ya', Unc, you Ol' Fart! The saga continues. Later--HUBBARD

All I have to say is that there's no replacement for displacement. There endth the lesson.
Well, from what I hear on the grapevine, Pete, you better get you some more displacement! LMFAO! Heard you got thumped in FL Damn, I hate missing that! I mean, I heard Harry run off and left you like you was sittin' up on jack-stands! WTF? Get your chit together, Pete, and bring it to Maggie Valley, or FL in Oct., and stretch your chit out against Ol' Maybelle. Don't sit in the parking lot and purge your NOS like a little phucking boy bully! Show me what you got! All you can do is out run me....or get thumped. That long stretch of 4-lane before we get back to the Hotel in Maggie Valley is the perfect venue! I'll twist it 'till it changes tunes, or comes apart. It matters not to me. We can start from a dead stop, or from 80 MPH on, which is what I really like! Bring it, Pete. And, I know lack of funds ain't an issue with you. I KNOW you've got the money to buy SPEED! You've been called, Pete. And anybody else here, that wants to stretch 'em out. I just like to Race! Ol' HUB may be 66 years old, but I'm still 25 in my mind!

If I'm understanding this correctly, Hub has to defeat all comers from his Local (WV) Chapter before he can challenge to run in the MV Regional??
Are Formal Eliminations required??
What / Who are the Active HBRR Chapters / Members ??
If a HBRR Chapter has a single Member, does that Member automatically qualify for a "Bye" to get to a Regional??

You have that correct Ed on the local run and the "bye" round. There are some "skunk" works projects going on in the West Virginia chapter, I question whether Hubbard can make the cut.

I am kind of disappointed too Dave, I really expected after all this expensive special high compression work he had done at Tilleys that he would be clamoring like he had enough mouth for another set of teeth as he puts it. Yet silence

This is embarrassing...Harry’s being violated
I was just trying to reposition my Johnson, to keep from violating Harry. That was a couple or so years back, and that member of my anatomy had no conscience, whatever. Now, not so much. My conscious mind still wants it, but my old wrinkly lily-white ass, feels like it just had it. It's still fun to look and reminisce, but it takes better living through chemistry, to get Ol' Hub to hear the infamous words, "Wow! That was great! How old did you say you were?" LMFAO! Sometimes it works, sometimes it don't. Just sayin....Later--HUBBARD

I don't have a horse in this race and only want to post my opinion for as little as it's worth. When I had my race cars back in the late 70's. I would never race anyone who had nos. It wasn't really that big back when, however my belief was that it was too simple to add a few ponies that way and harder to build a motor to produce hp. It's apple and oranges to me. So just an old man's opinion who is probably stuck back in the older days and ways. Anyone like to chime in?Man that must have been in the dark ages. Too simple to add horsepower? Try building a nitrous motor, keeping it together, and be competitive. Not as easy as you think by a long shot. :o

I don't have a horse in this race and only want to post my opinion for as little as it's worth. When I had my race cars back in the late 70's. I would never race anyone who had nos. It wasn't really that big back when, however my belief was that it was too simple to add a few ponies that way and harder to build a motor to produce hp. It's apple and oranges to me. So just an old man's opinion who is probably stuck back in the older days and ways. Anyone like to chime in?
I'm "old school", too, Glide-man. NOS just ain't real racing. Neither is the fastest bike or car always the winner. Sometimes it's the man straddled the machine, or strapped in the seat. I'm an old Dirt Tracker, and always ran my races too fast. I ain't in the record books. Then, in 2004, we joined the Hooters Pro-Cup Series. My business partner's son, "The Kid", drove our 22N Chevrolet. Raced from Lakeland, FL, to Newton, Iowa, had a blast. Won 1 Race, and was "Rookie of the Year", in 2005. I thought chasing women, doin' Coke, gambling and building Harleys cost money. Chit, that's a Drop in the bucket to runnin' a Race Team. Made a lot of friends, but met some of the lyingest, thieving, cheating MF'ers, on this planet. From sabotage, to 50' of extra fuel lines, Roll Cages full of BB's, then dumped in Turn 3 at Salem, to B&R cheated up Motors, to electronically activated limited-slip rear axles, to bribe taking officials, I saw it all, including getting called to the "Trailer" and fined for defending myself with a breaker-bar against a drunked up fan, that made me look like a midget, and I'm 6' 2". Still had a lot of fun, and that's that. But to put NOS, or a Blower on a MC may display a pocket full of cash, but where I'm from, up here in the Mountains, with a fair share of redneck Hot-rodders, they won't even try to run with you, when you've got that chit. What's the use? If we ain't satisfied with the MOCO's Motors, build one, don't make it public knowledge, and watch 'em get mad and tell their friends you're a prick, or come up to you and ask,"What the hell have you done to that Motor?" That's when I WILL lie! ROTFLMFAO! Ride safe, my man, and if you come to Bike Week, PM me and I'll give you my number, and you can ride some with us. Later--HUBBARD

This hillbilly feud has been going on over 10 years, just fewer players now.
RIP Randy :drink:
And always entertaining.
You're right, porthole. And the saga will continue 'till we're all bullchittin' with OTIS. Damn, I miss him! He was always quick to rattle anybody's cage, but he was a friend. I remember one time I was asked to vacate the premises of a nice home, of which I paid for, by the daughter of the devil. OTIS and Marlene invited me into their home, that day, without question or condition. I offered to pay, but they refused. Marlene's a helluva' chef, too. That's the kind of people they are. I will never forget that. I stayed with them until I moved to the home I live in to this day. That was August, 2008, I think. I've got to tell these stories, too, 'cause it's Classic OTIS. We were ridin' one Sunday, and stopped for gas, and two guys pulled in on Can-Ams. OTIS, still leathered up and full-face helmet on, walked over to the Can-Ams and bent over and was looking all over the front-end, but ain't said a word. One of the riders said "Can I help you with something?" OTIS, looked up and said, "Where's the blade on them phucking things?" 'Course OTIS kept a poker-face, but I busted out laughing! They just looked at each other, and rode away. Another time we were in NC eatin' hot-wings, which OTIS loved, and as we were leaving, 2 guys rode in on Gold-Wings, or Interstates or something, and they sorta' had the look of smart-asses, and said something to the tune of they used to own Harleys, but had "moved up" to Hondas because they were faster and lot more dependable, blah, blah, blah. Then asked the question, "you guys ever thought about that?" OTIS stuck that barrel chest out and said, "All I ever think about when I see one of them pieces of chit, is my Uncle still limping around 'cause of what them Japanese mutherphuckers did at Pearl Harbor! Anybody that rides one of them pieces of chit is a phucking traitor in my book!" Those two didn't even go in to eat, that hatted up and left, without a word. I said, "Damn OTIS, you're ripe today, ain't 'cha?" "Hell no, he said, that outta' be said to everyone of those mutherphuckers." OTIS had no fear, and what ever was on his mind, came right out of his mouth. One of a kind, OTIS was. He did a lot more good in his life, than he did harm. I loved him, and I miss him. Me and SHRADER always talk about him in every conversation we have. OTIS will never die in our minds. There endeth the lesson. Later--HUBBARD

Loved your post Hub. I too miss ole Otis, and am proud to call him my friend and brother. In his honor, I will Otis all y'all in WV again this July. Yeah, just wait and see! :D

Hehehe. Another euphemism coined by friends of our Brother OTIS, due to his racing tactics, that will be voiced into perpetuity. I've been "OTISED" by more people than OTIS, himself! Miss you too, you ol' fart! We need to hold conversation on the state of the economy, when we get to the Valley. I really enjoyed that conversation with you at the "Swinging Bridge!" You possess a wealth of information on that subject, and I'm always open to sound financial information based on experience. Take care, Unc, and hope to see you there! Later--HUBBARD

Just wanted to let you know how much I appreciated and enjoyed the post about OTIS. He definitely was a character! Hope to join the group at one of the eating spots when they come to WV. Thanks for sharing.

Will look forward to seeing you again. Save me a seat at your table.

Ole Hub stated he may be coming down after all this waffling. Mumbled something about he ain’t skeered and giving Sneaky an opportunity
It’s gonna be interesting. You’ins with those 117’s don’t be shy

Damn right I'm coming! And I'm coming to see if that orange Tour-Glide of Pete's will run with OL'Maybellle! Maybe he'll outrun me, maybe he won't. If he does I'll haul it over to John Sachs and make sure it don't happen again. But's let's see whose got the balls to twist one till it comes apart or runs out of gear. I've done both, and will do it again. so bring that orange Tour-Glide to FL, and let's stretch em out headin west to Crystal River. I'm sick and tired of hearing all the bull chit about NOS and Pete's Bike will fly. Ol' Maybelle ain't no slouch and everybody knows I'll twist it till blows, or changes tunes. Come on Pete, I'll be there late the night of the 9th, and ready to ride on the 10th. We can start from scatch, which Maybelle tends to turn from side to side through 1st and Second, which really costs performance, and tends to straighten up about middle ways through 3rd. I really like to turn her lose at around 80 in third, but any way you want to turn em lose, I'm game. And I promise I will keep it twisted till it chipps out at 6500,or runs out of gear in 6th. And no matter what happens, absent a crash, god forbid, we'll go eat some chicken and laugh about it. But in all honesty, if you are running NOS, I ain't, and I won't waste my time. Just like if I put a blower on Maybelle, whose gonna' phuck with me? I like competition, not unequal competition. So bring it Pete, and let's see whose comes out in front. All you can do is beat me, or not. love you like a brother. Competition makes the world go around. See ya'n FL. Later--HUBBARD

Sure looks like it!!! Poor guy is getting up there.......13 in April. He can't go up the steps to the kitchen anymore so the food bowl is in the living room. He can still bite..............Bull & Fred were having a vicious fight and when I tried to break it up, Fred got me on the arm. He didn't mean to and I didn't need stitches, only antibiotics. Next time you are in WV you should come visit him to see if he likes you any better this time. :nixweiss:
Will do Marlene, at least now I could probably run faster - maybe :o
I think Fred is less then a year old in that picture - time ...........

Sorry to be a little late to this discussion, but the whole friggin thread is BS. Otis thumped both of you SOBs in Daytona several years ago. I know it's the gospel cause he told me it happened...
SE VRod did the trick...
NOS rules!!!!!
Not to call you absent of the truth Brother, but you are repeating figments of OTIS's imagination. I was there. That white dude with dreadlocks, on that green Electra Glide Classic, which had NOS bottles duck-taped to the Saddle Bags, wore out everybody's ass there, including OTIS on that Red, Screamin' Eagle V-rod. 'Course, OTIS was gaining on him, to hear OTIS tell it, but that Dude flat busted everybody's ass that was there. I was there. I saw it. There endth the lesson. When he turned around and looked at us, and reached down and twisted them valves, he was gone! Never to be seen again. That's the way that went down. 'course OTIS wasn't ready, and could have caught him, if he'd a seen him coming. Right. And I got monkeys flyin' out my ass! That dude was flat flyin'! Later--HUBBARD

Oh hell, I've heard this story! What's better is I'm pretty sure I've heard it three different ways.
Not too long after it happened everyone got waxed but the V-Rod and the V-Rod kept it close. In different phone calls and BS sessions as a little time passed the V-Rod ended up not losing at all. Best part is I'm sure each version was absolutely true! :huepfenlol2:
And Otis endeth-ed that lesson!
