     Whodom |
OK, what's up with this one? Seller has auctions for new in-the-crate XB9's and XB12's, both R and S models, all for $7300 BIN. Here's one: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2463273515&categor y=49985 I don't see any of the dead giveaways for stolen eBay I.D.'s- no "pre-registered bidders only", sellers feedback is all on motorcycle sales and motorcycle related items. OK, I give up. It's got to be a rip off, but is there anything to give it away other than an insanely low price (on the 12's)? Hugh | ||

Hey guys I believe this is a valid offer. I just got a reply from Bridgeport Harley Davison in regards to the auction. XB12 shoppers should jump on the Buy Me Now price -- sorry Brian and Daves. Greg | ||

oh we don't blame you greg..... and I can't speak for dave....but me myself and I blame...EVERY STINKING DUMBASS HD DEALER OUT THERE THAT DON'T WANT THE BIKES AND CAN'T FIGURE OUT HOW TO SELL THEM..... Hey hd dealers worldwide if you don't want them quit dealing in them.....but of fat lazy worthless accounting bastards.... Not that I have an opinon on it either way.... stupid fuckers.... can the world really be filled up with that many stupid successful business owners.....why yes it could bubba.....but they diversified into clothing stores mainly that will acessorize your wardrobe with a motorcycle. It seems to be the rage.... thats why its called HOG...its an owners group ...not a riders group.... can anybody else tell that I am on the verge of a meltdown here..... I'll end my rant with these kind words. harley davidson dealers  stupid fuckers | ||

If they were a true blue harley dealer, they would do what you and Dave do, and try to make harley a big success in thier venture to expand the product line. Hard to believe people that love harley would want to sabatage the company that pays their bills and retirement... | ||

Glitch, You have no idea of what goes on in some companies. I'll say no more lest the primered black van try to pay me a little visit. Pick up one of the current moto-mags and read the Salvadori article on dealerships and profit margins and internet sales, and don't forget to read between the lines when you do. Not sure what mag it was in though, I was just grazing and killing a few minutes. | ||

Give it a couple decades and Harley will be the next Abercrombie and Fitch. | ||
| Glitch |
Speaking of silly ebay ads... Squid link Mikej, I see what happens here at TCCC (keeping an eye out for the black vans myself) ... | ||
| Jasonblue |
Couple decades?! They're already there man. HD is the Abercrombie of the Babyboomers. Go out any nice weekend in Houston and look at all the shiney Harleys'and their owners with the Harley jackets, Harley T's, Harley boots, Harley sunglasses. Hell they probably have Harley F----N underwear on. | ||
| Geofg |
Speaking of silly ebay ads... Squid link Too funny! There's still better than 3 days left on that auction and the bid's already up to $21.50. LMAO, -Geof | ||
| Pnut |
LOL, my hat off to that seller.  | ||
| Wyckedflesh |
Didn't DaveS say in another thread about Dealers not allowed to undercut on Ebay like that? Btw...how can it have 10 miles on it, its still in the crate... edited by wyckedflesh on February 27, 2004 | ||
| Awprior |
And what's a set of knee sliders go for? I think a call to Dennis Kirk for a few of them and 10 minutes in the garage with a belt sander is in order... And yeah, dealerships that sell bikes on eBay suck. Granted it's cheap, but I'd rather pay a few bucks extra to deal with a salesman who gives a shit rather than a dealership that just wants to dump a few bikes. When it comes time to get my 12, I'll be calling Bubba or Dave, not cruising eBay. | ||
| Fullpower |
buckinfubba, if they are selling these bikes below the dealer cost, why dont you buy them up and sell them at your shop? i am not in the business, and i have an XB, so i dont need them. sounds kinda fishy though. later, dean | ||
| Buckinfubba |
the thought crossed my mind....if it was the height of riding season it woulda been done by now. and I would have passed the savings on to some lucky folks. | ||
| Gearhead |
Alright!! I needed a good laugh after see the photos in another thread. I'd like to meet the seller of Squid link!! Isn't it amazing, that there are so many bidders after the guy basically belittled anyone who bids on them besides the almost 16,000 click throughs!! This guy sounds alright to me, I'd like to meet him... | ||
| Dullorb |
They aren't Abercrombie yet, when you ask the preson wearing Harley what it is they still know that it has someting to do with motorcycles. Unlike the once sporting goods dealer's brand name plastered across the breasts and buttocks of our nation's youths and wish they were youths. | ||
| Ray_maines |
..... For just a few dollars, you can look like you know what the hell you're doing on that shiny, new bling-bling sportbike of yours. Way too funny! | ||
| Fullpower |
it is a real dealer. i contacted them, asked why they are selling a motorcycle below cost. this is reply:WE ARE SELLING THESE BELOW COST IS WE ARE NO LONGER GOING SELL BUELLS AND WE WANT TO MOVE THESE OUT FOR A NEW LINE OF BIKES WE ARE GETTING" End QUote. so they are evidently dumbshits. i hope someone can profit from this idiocy. good price. | ||
| Wyckedflesh |
If I had the $7G right now I would snatch the 12 just to have another 12... | ||

Sounds like Stamford, CT. 1) The dealers should be ashamed. 2) HD should put some teeth in their dealer contract. What an embarrasment. I have a bit of a personal interest in this one because of the riding club in the area of this dealer. Take a look at the names in our Guggenheim Riding Club and you'll see what I mean. It's one thing to have some local squid dissing Buells to his pals. Quite another to have Laurence Fishburne relaring the shit he heard from the dealer about how Buells suck. I'm with you Bubba....it angers and dissappoints me.  | ||
| Mr_grumpy |
I love the way every one in the pic looks all groomed and right at ease, except Geldof, who looks like he's just lobbed his bike in a hedge & followed it through, | ||
| Court |
Grump: A couple of them are "right at ease"....a couple "are not". Classic moment was when I introduced my youngest to David Crosby...about an hour later. B: "Who's the big Walrus looking dude?" D: "That's David Crosby" B: "Who?" D" "David Crosby....as in Crosby, Stills and Nash" B: "Who"...never heard of 'em" D: "Duh...WOODSTOCK?" B: "what ?" The start of my feeling old. Then ante was upped moments later when another pal who I thought was just some writer poet trust fund baby dude (Watch for the name Holubeck in HD shirts and remind me to tell you the story) that I'd met through motopals, Bryce stabs me in the ribs says "Dad...that's the dude from Comedy Central". D: "What?" | ||

Court, That's what I went through at the old Dick Farmer HD. I was in there picking up some parts and this kid was picking up his new X1. My daughter was outside the front window waiting. I walk back outside and the following ensued. Her: Dad, do you know who that is? Me: The kid? Her: YEA, That's Justin! Me: Justin who? Her: JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE!!!! Me: Who? Her: From N'Sync! Me: In Sync? Her: Nevermind! Me: Fine by me. Interesting, someone from somewhere must have gotten to our friends in STRATFORD. The XB12 auction has been stopped. I was just trying to figure out how to get it shipped down here. JT | ||
| Buckinfubba |
thats interesting that it has stopped I placed a call yesterday up north around 3 or 4 in the afternoon. ain't saying I had anything to do with it. but I am glad its gone. as far as the dealer getting another line of bikes because buells don't sell. one must staff ones business with motorcycle enthusiast not used car salesman. | ||
| Cowtown |
Gentlemen, the add has stopped because all 7 they had for sale are sold. I bought the 6th one, a red xb12s still in the crate. They are required to prep it before it can be released. That's why the add said it has 10 miles on them. $650 to get it to Fort Worth. I have a copy of the Certificate of Origin they faxed to my bank, the VIN is different from the one advertise on ebay. BTW they have 9 xb9, not sure what model, they will be selling next. The salesman name is Frank, his number is 203-380-2600. Tell him I sent you. Oh, does anyone know if they are using synthetic oil when they ship the bikes from the factory? edited by Cowtown on February 28, 2004 edited by Cowtown on February 28, 2004 edited by cowtown on March 01, 2004 | ||

BTW, how much do yall think I can get for my X1? It has 6000 miles and I just put a set of Dunlop 208 ZR on it, as of to date, they have 0 miles on them. Please take a look at my profile for all mods. Thanks, any input would be appreciated. | ||
| Cowtown |
Yes, another post! What are yall thoughts on extended warranties, lengths, costs and tire and wheel coverage? Again, thanks for all input. I always respect the opinions on this board. | ||
| Easyflier |
Cowtown, I think that any major problems are likely to show themselves within the 2 year standard warranty period, and it's only as good as the dealer doing the service. Paying money for an extended warranty is just throwing money away IMO. |
