None of you guys think this smells to high heaven? Hell, I'll send my phishing emails to all of you and ask for more personal information - I can use the SAME logos and links that they do. It doesn't even take any computer skills to do it either. Sure it "looks real" but WHERE are the contacts? WHERE are the links to the agency sponsoring the contest? Sure, there are links to Buell, Pirelli, etc but NOWHERE does it state anything that says this is legitimate or just WHO is doing this. Yeah, you "agree" to abide by generic terms but I could create a web page with links just like that and get a TON of people to sign up online and give out their REAL addresses, REAL names, REAL emails. REAL info on REAL people is valuable in the internet underground of Phishers and scammers. I'll ALWAYS check into anything that asks for ANY personal information before just giving away ANY thing that could assist an anonymous third party to know WHO and WHERE I am and HOW to get in touch. Hate to be such a cynic but COME ON PEOPLE - check this stuff out first. It MIGHT be legit but I found NOTHING on that web page that tells me that it is legit. WHO is doing it? It's NOT Pirelli, It's NOT Buell, It's NOT Harley - WHO? IF it's legit, it is PISS-POOR, junior high school quality.

Sure anyone could have made it... but you could say that about any website. This looks lagit to me!

Oh - I see, you read it on the internet! I can claim anything, post links to legit sites. WHERE and WHO are sponsoring this contest?? NOWHERE does it state that Buell or Harley are involved. It only posts legitimate links to legit Buell, Pirelli and HD websites. Same way the phishers do it when sending out "bank notices." It's really easy to do... just lift the logo (gif or jpg) and link that to the REAL site. You don't need any sysadmin priveleges to do that. How do you think those millions of Bank "notices" work. I can paste all the links for my Credit Union into a phoney front page but ask people to fill in a "form" requesting name, address, email address and contact information... that data gets to me but IF the person is "suspicious" and clicks on a link, it takes them to the REAL site with "terms and conditions" - which are MEANINGLESS. Like I said, IF this is legit, it is POORLY DONE. I'm waiting to hear back on an email I sent out... stay tuned. | ||

OK - MANY sorries to all. I just got confirmation IN WRITING from a trusted resource - this IS TOTALLY legitimate. I just needed to verify it BEFORE inviting all my buddies to give out their personal information to an unknown third party. Again, I HAVE checked it out and it IS LEGITIMATE!!! My bad. | ||
| Frequency |
Slaughter with a few searches this is legit IMO The site is registered to Laughlin Constable, Inc. Laughlin Constable, Inc. handles quiet a few big named clients, One of whom is HD | ||

Actually my favorite part of the thing is seeing Laughlin-Constable back on the Buell account. I sat through a meeting once during which someone conducted a sham meeting to take the account from them and give it to another firm. Laughlin-Constable made the leap to lightspeed following the first Bush campaign. Since coming to national prominence they've stayed fresh and creative . . I was thrilled when they bought a large New York City ad agency. Steve Laughlin is not only one of the best in the country at what he does, he's a nice person and a true enthusiast. You can thank the Laughlin-Constable folks for some of the most incredible Buell stuff to ever come into public view . . the first 1995 Buell brochure. . (still perhaps the most stunning Buell photography ever) and the 1996 "Pray for Pavement" campaign. There are only three things . . . as a dreamer . . . I'd push for.
Personal rant off . . . | ||

Tina Daniel ??? please elaborate Court....with pics of course  | ||
| Slaughter |
My only concern was in NOT asking people to give their personal information BEFORE I had verified its legitimacy. It IS verified. Legit. IT is a way cool thing. Good to know and I've already posted the link in multiple places and forwarded it to friends now that I have confirmed that it is A OK. | ||

| Slaughter |

LOL. So I wasn't the only person yesterday that went through the DNS registrations before signing up, huh? Your all a paranoid bunch of geeks ;) | ||
| Barker |
I checked whois before I signed up. | ||
| Jaimec |
Now THAT is the color I want!! If it came in that color, I'd have my deposit down NOW, first year bike or not! | ||
| Chadhargis |
I never win anything, but it could be a good cover for buying one. "Honey, guess what! I won an 1125R!!"  | ||
| Court |
Okay . . I signed up . . . think they'd give it to me if I won? | ||
| Fresnobuell |
What is the big deal about giving your name, address and phone number out? Now if they were asking for a SSN, I can see the problem. See all the junk mail in our mailboxes--our names and addresses are public knowledge already. | ||
| Slaughter |
If it is legit, it is no big deal - I just NEVER assume that it's legit without checking. VALIDATED email addresses are a marketable commodity - more valuable are lists of validated mailing addresses and even MORE valuable are lists of validated physical addresses. Though I CERTAINLY entered this drawing/promotion today (after checking) I just don't like having my name and addresses on a lot of lists that can then be sold to other list sellers. YMMV | ||
| Nevrenuf |
could that be a conflict of interest!!!! i know there wouldn't be if i won. besides, i need to replace the lighting that i lost last month for thinking i was 20 years younger. | ||
| Fresnobuell |
Slaughter, I can see your point. I don't want someone making money after duping me into giving them my info. |
