Guess I'll have to check in tonight when we pull into Washington, PA (Day 1 of our two day ride to Indianapolis). Hope things work out for the best for everyone! |

I have an uncle in Washington, PA. Hope this auction ends in our favor. Owners of Buell & EBR motorcycles. |

So I got confirmation the sale happened. No firm info on exactly who it was, but this got posted to Erik's fb page. Not wanting to start rumors, just looking for clarification/confirmation on who the buyer is. US based company possibly?

The guy that posted that comment appears to be legitimate and he confirmed that this is indeed the lighting company. He followed that with this:

Well, damn. I don't think any of us saw that one coming! |

MAJOR UPDATE. Bruce Belfer just posted:

Hell yeah! hope we some trickle down from the WSBK bikes into the production models. Would be great to see the bikes running at the fore front of Motoamerica. That would be a huge push for the brand. |

You can find hits for "Atlantic Metal", but I don't have a clue which of them could be the buyer. |

when asked who else bid, Dimitri said " that doesn't matter brother ... there were only 3 of us interested & present for the auction ... good things on the horizon for EBR - that is all that matters now ..." I think Dimitri has his stuff together |

Have these posts been deleted from the EBR facebook page? I don't see any of this. |

They are on Erik's page not EBR's. Interesting that the individuals apparently bidding on EBR are friends with Erik on FB and speaking about such on FB. New world eh? |

"Atlantic Metals Group" They're a record company. The Thunderbolts got a record deal as part of the sale price. Erik Eddie insisted. I know this because I made it all up. One last wild rumor for this thread. (Message edited by hootowl on August 05, 2015) |

They want the business to continue as it was prior to the shutdown and to NOT close the doors permanently. |

"I know this because I made it all up." I know it was bs when there was no mention of Eddie |

I noticed that about Bruce too.... Weird that he is listed as the singular owner of a electrics/lighting company..... But doing security at concerts on the side? Eitherway, I hope this is a legit attempt to get EBR back up and running in a good direction. Atlantic Metal "group" doesnt really bring anything up. But, it does bring up Atlantic Metals in CT that specialized in exotic metals and manufacturing. |

Also, the Family name Belfer is tied to oil, and at one point Enron. Belfer made a ton of money off a sale of an oil company in 83 and distributed the $$$ among the family. Perhaps its the same Belfers? The above info is pulled from a WSJ article talking about Belfers losing $$$ w/ the collapse of Enron |

With only 3 bidders how could you not know who won the auction? Who are these guys? |
