folks, this is something you're not gonna see every day: a 1994 Buell S2 Thunderbolt! i'm the original owner of this magazine, it's MINT, and it's the only one i've got. it's spent its entire life in an archival plastic sleeve, and it shows.
Steve Anderson wrote the piece. i wonder if he knew that someday he'd be working for Erik instead of reporting on Erik...
to this day, one of the prettiest motorcycles ever made.
this was the entire work force (less one absentee) in 1993! LOVE the dress code, typical Erik Buell. peeps, it pains me dearly to put this mag up on the auction block, it's THAT valuable to me. however, Matt and his family need our help, and i offer this pristine collectors item to you with joy in my heart. make me proud! This is a seven-day auction ending next Sunday May 13, 2007 at 10 p.m Eastern time, but will continue beyond that time if there is bid activity within one hour of auction end. Once there is one hour of inactivity at any time after 10 p.m. May 13th, the auction will be considered over. I will pay for shipping*, so consider this when bidding. There are no other fees; what you bid is what you pay. Good luck, bid often, and remember: This is for Matt Ware and his family. *(Unless you are overseas. I am happy to ship to you, however, due to the cost of shipping overseas you will be required to pay for such shipping.) (Message edited by jerry_haughton on May 07, 2007) |

Ok, this is getting out of hand. It's just a magazine.............. FROM OUT OF NOWHERE!!!!!!!!! $55 I like to lull my victims into a false sense of security then attack. I wonder what it would take to get Erik to sign this item? Ferris? TK |

I can't believe you guys! I'm an elderly man on a fixed income. I am going to have to let this simmer for a day or two and hopefully the jokers will lose interest and go away. FB: my guess is 2 |

>>>>I wonder what it would take to get Erik to sign this item? $37.50 . . . . but it will be mine at $70.00. Beat me and toss in the $37.50 and I'll have that magazine sent to you SIGNED, sealed and delivered. Court P.S. - I have a couple copies of it and it may be right up there with the original AMERICAN DREAMER stories in terms of good Buell reading. |

Hmmmmmmm.....I know better than to take that bait . . . but let me give you a little lesson in economics. I just filled my Ford pick-up with GASOLINE and paid $3.25 a gallon. DUCK . . . Incoming bid! |

Well, come on with it! Glad our gas prices are a little better than that, but with having a 42 gallon gas tank, it still sucks! Bid away!!!!!!!!!!!! |

Thanks RT! Just to add a bit more excitement to our most popular and highest going item... I may know a Badwebber who has a copy of this very magazine that is in the same minty condition as Ferris's, except for a printed mailing label in place of the CW logo in the lower right hand corner. This will go to the second highest bidder... (Ferris, I was going to pay this one forward to you, but I just can't this time, and I am sure you understand) Some incentives to keep on going! Shipping in the US will be covered... |

Well played Road_thing! I have been served. We shall see if I remain in second place. TK |

TK: It's an honor to compete with a gentleman such as yourself in this most worthy endeavor! In the instant circumstance, second place is second winner rather than first loser. Nevertheless, I plan to place a pre-emptive bid before retiring to el ranchito chingadero for the weekend. Just so you'll know... rt egad! Did crude oil go up again today? $200 is just fifty cents a barrel away... |
