My bike is up for sale!

#1 Unread post by vector18 »

Apparently someone in Germany or somewhere has the same exact bike as I do and is selling it!

I would be worried. Have you tried to contact the administrator of that website?

My guess is they ganked the pics off either your website or here to use as stock photos.

Either that or there is a rip-off to order going down...

I would let some authority know... Or you could contact the seller and see what he wants for it and find out delivery details. I'd use an alias and someone elses email though...

Maybe contact the FBI (doubt you would be able to get ahold of the german police in the US).

And keep a REAL close eye on your bike, like maybe keep it IN YOUR HOUSE. Someone could be planning to steal your bike, and ship it overseas.

How did you find that??
Of course I'm generalizing from a single example here, but everyone does that. At least I do.

I doubt this is the first time. I'm pretty sure I've seen that tank before, maybe ebay or craigslist, dunno where.

Is your artwork custom, or did your guy jack it off the Belgium guy. That kinda looks like something a sick Belgian would dream up
I spent my therapy money an a K1200S
The therapy worked, I got a GS now
A touch of insanity crept back in the shape of an R1200R

I recall looking at your original thread and if I'm not mistaken those are the exact pictures. Call the website admin and let them know its a fraud so they can take the page down. Not much else I imagine you can do about it.
