Author Message   1313 Posted on Monday, September 12, 2005 - 10:01 pm:        Got some interesting info today: The Harley Davidson Foundation has donated a 2006 Buell Ulysses to the American Red Cross - Morgan Freeman Auction for Hurricane Katrina Relief. Morgan Freeman is from the effected area and created the auction to help raise funds for American Red Cross efforts. The black Ulysses comes with a limited edition windscreen signed by Erik Buell. The auction is located at the following address: https://www01.charityfolks.com/cfauctions/auction_bid.asp?AuctionID=1407&catname =The%20American%20Red%20Cross%20Disaster%20Relief%20Auction The Ulysses auction concludes 9/21/05. 100% of the winning auction bid will be donated to the American Red Cross Disaster Relief Fund, which will enable the Red Cross to provide shelter, food, counseling, and other assistant to victims of Hurricane Katrina. Just passing along info, 1313   1313 Posted on Monday, September 12, 2005 - 10:08 pm:        Forgot this (and can't figure out how to edit pictures into a previous message): 1313   Blake Posted on Saturday, September 17, 2005 - 04:22 am:        Cool thing to do. It's only at $8,500 last I checked. Tempting!   Imonabuss Posted on Saturday, September 17, 2005 - 02:27 pm:        More than tempting; if anyone is genuinely in the market for a Ulysses, they should be bidding it to at least $10,000, 'cause it's darned unlikely you will find one for less! And Buell gave the darned thing up, so all of the money will go to the charity for Katrina. And I'll bet you would get more than the bike; it's likely the winner will get some real kudos from the factory. Sounds like a win win!!! All I need to do is convince my wife that this is all about charity and not the bike, because I've been told no more bikes until I sell one. And I like the ones I have...waaah!   Jjg0324 Posted on Wednesday, September 21, 2005 - 06:11 pm:        I just want to say thanks to 1313 for posting this information. I just won the auction and got the Uly for 10,000. Thanks Jim   Firemanjim Posted on Thursday, September 22, 2005 - 02:42 am:        Congrats on the new bike,Jim.   Jackbequick Posted on Thursday, September 22, 2005 - 09:19 am:        Bwwwwaaaaahhh! I wanted my $7,500 bid to win! Congrats Jim! And my compliments for doing as good thing. Jack   Jjg0324 Posted on Thursday, September 22, 2005 - 10:25 am:        I will keep this thread posted when/if I actualy receive the bike and if anything otherwise interesting happens. The auction site tacked on $20 for shipping and sent me a note saying it would be delivered to my house. Sounds like they think its a toy motorcycle or something. Anyway I will wait to see what happens. Excited to get the bike and help the storm victoms at the same time. Jim   Lowflyer Posted on Thursday, September 22, 2005 - 10:52 am:        Well, Gails HD in Grandview, MO sent 10% of the selling price of my Uly to the hurricane victims. I refused to pay anything less than MSRP.
