That stuff has been on Ebay for about a month, I think it's pretty east to tell the real from the junk because that stuff looks like crap. |

Its still bullcrap. Let us know when shirts from EBR do become available though. I think they would sell well. |

EBR, We ALL want T Shirts, Decals and Patches. Any chance you could set up a way we can buy them? It certainly couldn't hurt sponsorship! ac |

I was thinking of having the wife wear them, not me. She looks much better wearing stuff like that. |

Just out of curiousity, with no HD looming overhead, is "Anonymous" still necessary or can we actually "hang out" on the internet with the masterminds of EBR? ac |

The poster has his reasons for remaining anonymous, and is allowed to do so. |

Annon is a wanted war crimminal from the Congo. Or Tacoma. He rained hell down upon the Heathen and now must pay the price by concealing his identity. |

I reported this same dude to eBay a couple of times and they have apparently not removed him yet... |

I would love to own an EBR logo shirt from EBR. Its a quick way to get EBR more publicity. People always look at the other folks are wearing. If they like it they would probably go home and look it up on the web or ask you where you got it. My boss had a cyclone and he has a Buell tat. I think an EBR shirt would easily get me an early quit on a Friday or 2. |

If "Anonymous" is someone from EBR or, in fact, Erik, it's most likely in their best interest to NOT be known. First they would have everyone on this board asking every possible question imaginable and not be able to address even a fraction of them. Second, it would invite trolls from every corner of the globe with a busted up bike to complain about how "Erik" let them down. See other posts on this board with similar content. I am sure Erik is on here once in a while in the rare event he has time. However, having said that, if the powers that be were able to score a "question of the week/month" with Erik or a representative of EBR and have a place for it, I'm sure there would be a very captive audience for that. Maybe questions like, "Hey Erik, how many hours are you in the shop every week?" or "Hey Erik, I will be at homecoming, is there a good time to see you to get my airbox cover signed?" (the last one was from me) |

I noticed the seller had 100% positive feedback. It might be appropriate for anon to contact Ebay and let them know the seller is engaged in illegal practices - probably won't stop the rip off, but puts Ebay on notice they are an accessory to fraud. Then they have to take some action against seller. |

The fact that forgeries exist means there is a market. Maybe EBR could outsource the T-shirt and memorobilia portion for a bit just so some of US could buy some merchandise? Even a simple Cafepress store would suffice. ac |

ebay does not care..they just want money from the sales. LOTS of fraud going on with no way to stop it |

There is a very easy way to stop it...offer the competing product the public wants. Surely there is at least one screen printer on BadWeb that EBR could license to make a few shirts. ac |

I sent them a email and they took it down, but I bet it is back up in a few days... this was their reply. We apologize for happened. We're new in eBay and our members do not know that we have violated the rules. We have ended these products. We will always cooperate with you. thank you for warning us about it. - buzzkedo |

They ONLY take down the shirts that they get caught selling. The other copyright shirts are still for sale. The douche-bagging-canoe-paddler doesn't really care about ethics or legalities, he just cares about being found out. He's still ripping off Volcom, Twilight, Alice in Wonderland, Hot Tub Time Machine, Sons of Anarchy. The POS is just a rip-off artist. Trust me on this - the Twilight movie series does not need the help of a Hong-Kong rip off artist to sell their movies. (Message edited by slaughter on April 05, 2010) |
