MY BIKES PIC ON EBAY, BUT ITS NOT FOR SALE!

[Quanah]

Okay, I'm lookin' on Ebay, checkin' out West Coast Choppers and see a pic of MY bike, in MY backyard, for sale by someone. Check it out. One of the pic's is my bike, the other two aren't. http://cgi.ebay.com/West-Coast-Chopper- ... 7C294%3A50
Here's my post. viewtopic.php?f=10&t=14220
What's up with that? My Lemon Peeler sprocket, my widened bars, my handmade headlights, with spikes and kromettes. :?

He must have swiped your image off this forum. :roll:

Send him an email and tell him to knock it off. :wink:

 

[spinman]

I'm wonderin' what this dope thinks is gonna happen if someone wins this auction??

We outta bid on it, and then shoot him negative feedback when he doesn't deliver on the bike. :mrgreen:

another reason not to use ebay.......

 

[CYCLE TRASH]

get ahold of ebay and report his ass but do not contact the seller yet.

You know, one of the reasons I joined RRB'S, is that I can't stand to ride a bike that is just like everyone elses, I'm sure everyone here is the same, I HAVE to personalize it. I have MANY hours in that WCC bike, lots of subtle changes, not really noticable at first, and it still needs many more, but, I hope it looks better than box stock, as in, ''mine doesn't look just like the little kids bike down the street''. I should follow RatRods advice. KNOCK IT OFF! :lol: :lol: :lol:

Maybe the one he has doesn't look that good? And since he wants the winner to pick it up, he probably figures that they'ed just take it since they made the trip.

Long story made short it stinks.

 

[user 135]

Maybe someone could ask him a question why the two bikes look different. I assume the 2 other pics are his bike.

At least the guy was smart enough to crop the photo eliminating the time/date stamp from your picture.

Decided to email the guy with an innocent enough question, heres the email and reply.

Dear rick74304,

Please look at the pictures posted now. This is the actual bike! This first posting had a pic that my wife found on-line. If you would like more pics, just let me know and I'll take more!

Ebay is being stupid right now and wont open the auction for me, so I cant verify for you that the photo has actually been changed. Looks like another case of "the wife did it" :roll:

I just clicked on the link.

Looks like "the wife" corrected it now.

Thanks rick74304, that pic was up yesterday morning,(Fri.), but ya, its gone now. Kinda flattering I suppose, I was a little upset at first, but then thought why? I don't want anyone to get me wrong, I'm not super proud of that bike... just because I only changed it a little, anybody could have done what I did...but I have much bigger plans to set it farther apart from the rest of those WWC's. 8)

Can we see the pic he swiped then? I'm curious to see it. I'd really love to own one of these bikes but I don't like Jesse James anymore after he built a rock crawler on Monster Garage and deliberately broke it. D**k move.

Voodoo Curse here's the picture that was stolen at gun point... well not exactly. :lol: A friend of mine told me Jesse James is going to stop selling T-shirts and apparel, why would he do that?, it's a big money maker... go figure!

 

[voodoo curse]

I like it. Is it comfortable for an adult to ride? I've never seen one in person so I wouldn't know.

I figure Jesse wants to do damage control and not be considered a sellout. I believe it's too late for him. The Monster Garage show jumped the shark when they did the Santa Claus parade float and Jesse jumped right along with it. I'm suprised The Discovery Channel didn't change their name to "The Chopper Channel" at the height of their bike madness!

Its comfortable if you put the seat way up, but then it looks goofy. My plan is to stretch the frame so I can ride it with the seat down.
