this ain't over yet - Dave's been away for awhile (off selling a coupla more bikes so as to afford a higher bid?) i like the idea of exactly 24 hours (NOT 24 hours and a minute...) from the first bid - we'll see soon enough who the Biggest Dog is. lest i forget, thank you all so far for bidding, and for making this fun.  Henrik, i haven't found THE brochure, but i've got one i think you'll want. pix in a bit... | ||

       Henrik, this is LOT 6. it isn't the brochure you mentioned earlier, but thought you might be interested anyway? edited by jerry_haughton on June 10, 2004 | ||
| Jerry_haughton |
  and here's a closer look at LOT 5. geez, the S2 Thunderbolt is the sexiest bike in the world (and i bet Court can prove it ) edited by jerry_haughton on June 10, 2004 | ||
| Jerry_haughton |
  LOT 7 is now open for bids. edited by jerry_haughton on June 10, 2004 | ||
| Henrik |
Alrighty then ... $50 is my opening bid on Lot #6 Henrik (you're absolutely correct - I do want that brochure ) | ||
| Awprior |
The S2s are gorgeous. Ferris, Did you rob a dealership or something? That stuff is cool as hell! Thanks a ton, again. Alex | ||
| Jerry_haughton |
right on, Henrik, thank you! i've been in the garage for the past coupla hours, rooting thru boxes, still hunting for THE brochure, will keep you posted. Alex, what can i say, i've got a Buell fetish! thank you, again, for your thanks, but know this: this is fun, it's for a good cause, and i'm living vicariously thru you as you prepare for your upcoming adventure. i consider myself blessed to be a small part of it all. FB ps: i agree, the S2's ARE gorgeous!!! | ||
| Simond |
OK then - just seen this. $50 for lot 5 and $60 for lot 6. Plus, of course, postage to this side of the pond. Simon | ||

>>>>I just pried $110 outta Bomber for the Cancer Society! That's an in accurate statement. For Ferris and I have conspired and found a 2nd copy. Assuming my Lake-Looking Co-Bueller concurs, I'm calling this one (as I am headed for the airport) closed with Bomber in at $110 and you at $100. Like the fellow barking on the midway professed...."everyone's a winner!" Congratulations to both of you for, with a touch of light heartedness and compassion, tossing a total of $210 into the pot for the American Cancer Society. And....$75 it is. the COLOR WHEEL IS SOLD! You folks are great. Court | ||

For this photo in an 8" x 10" glossy with the following caption: "for I am their leader, which way have they gone?" | ||
| Jerry_haughton |
Simond, THANK YOU! ok, so the clock is now officially ticking on Lot 5, and...it looks like Henrik's got a riding partner on Lot 6. Bomber and Road Thing, i've actually learned a few things over the years, one of which is to learn from The Master whenever possible. so...thank you both for your successful bids and generous contributions on behalf of the American Cancer Society!!! paper funds should be sent to: Ride Across North America 20 Timber Lane Hanover, PA 17331 also, Alex has a paypal account set up at awprior@yahoo.com. please note "BADWEB Auction Contribution" in any correspondence. Court, thanks, as always, for tucking this young Jedi pup up under your cape and showing how it's done. and, the Color Wheel is yours! i just pinged Pdx about your 8 x 10 photo request above, i imagine he'll come sliding in here shortly. Denise just about piddled when she clicked on your link this morning, and i'm sure Corso's gonna have some fun with this, as well... FB | ||

Jer -- funds on the way tomorrow (gotta cash in my normally reserved for Buell expenditures change coffee can . . . . . .good thing it's almost full ;-} ) Thang -- crazy like a fox! {grin} now all I gotta do is find the next three issues of BTwin (all they hads were xerox copies when I learnd of the publication), although I"m not sure another 3 large will be forthcoming (no doubt as to the worthiness!) Thanks, again, Mr Haughton, for running this circus (and I'd hush up about the color wheel -- could be that Court will continue to out bid himself for a few more days) | ||
| Jerry_haughton |
now all I gotta do is find the next three issues of BTwin... Bomber, you mean like these:  they're next up on the block, my friend. these are my very last "extras" of these issues, and i hate so see them go. thank you for bidding healthy and often, and for having some fun with this! Hoot, dammit, i missed the "5150" connection, must be slipping into AARPhood faster than i thought... edited by jerry_haughton on June 11, 2004 | ||

RT, Your original bid of $51.50 is the police code for a crazy person...I'm surprised there aren't any Van Halen fans out there who could have picked up on that. | ||
| Henrik |
Ok ... $70 on lot #6 Henrik | ||
| Jerry_haughton |
thank you Henrik!!! Simond? | ||
| Bomber |
STOP IT FERRIS! STOP IT RIGHT NOW! (ps, I'll be sending a lil extry for a patch) -- as for bidding healthy and often, hell, I'm a chicagoan, I was only bidding like I vote! Hoot -- I've found it best not to point out insanity to crazy persons (specially Texans). ya never know when they might go to a drive through liquor store with their firearms locked and loaded, ya know? | ||
| Jerry_haughton |
sorry Bomber, can't stop now, i'm just coming up on the pipe! (and thank you for the extra for the patch )   this is LOT 8, a mint copy of Battle 2win Volume 1 Issue 2, now up for bids. edited by jerry_haughton on June 11, 2004 | ||
| Road_thing |
Bomber: You'll have to speak up, sir, my ears are ringing. I've been shopping... Hoot: I didn't know about the crazy code thing, but I'll have to remember it. Great idea for a vanity plate! FB: Funds have already been transmogrified into electrons and transmitted through the ether via Paypal. r-t | ||
| Bomber |
Thang -- SIR? First Jerry calls me Mr, no you call me SIR? sheesh -- I onlyh made E5 . . . . . more than once, mind you, but only E5 . . . . Jerry -- your pipe comment has cleared up a great number of questions I've had regarding you . . . perhaps you can pass the pipe along when your done? | ||
| Jerry_haughton |
r-t, thank you for your transmogrificaction proclamation! Bomber, the pipe i'm talking about is polished stainless steel and has a Vance & Hines on the end. (and no, you can't have it. ) | ||
| Bomber |
ah, right, I forgot, we've all been taught to say no ;-} perfectly happy with the CF wileyco can i'm running (goes with the whole nightfighter theme I seem to be moving toward), but thanks for thinkin of me | ||
| Jerry_haughton |
   this is LOT 9, i.e. Battle 2win Volume 1 Issue 3, with cover by yours truly. as you can see the cover has been ripped across the bottom, but the rest of the mag is mint. edited by jerry_haughton on June 11, 2004 | ||
| Bomber |
let's make it official -- my opening bid for lot 8 is a tenspot | ||
| Jerry_haughton |
Bomber's in for $10 -- let the games begin! | ||
| Loki |
Take lot #8 to $25 Take lot #9 to $25 So call me officially into the race..... | ||
| Jerry_haughton |
hoo yah, Loki, thank you!!! | ||
| Jerry_haughton |
   alright, this completes the series for Battle 2win's first year of production. this would be LOT 10. there's a VERY slight wrinkle on the cover across the "2", other than that the mag is mint. dig the centerfold! who wants it??? edited by jerry_haughton on June 11, 2004 |
