Invest in EBR

[dave_xb12r]

You can donate on the front page of the site, but further digging shows that you can now invest in EBR. Is this a chance to make some money and help out a promising company?

intresting wonder what kind of benefits you would get if you invested might have to send them some info through the link

I'm doin it. Met Erik last week and toured the shop when I was home on leave, had to thank him for signing my bike and he is the coolest, laid back guy I have ever met and his passion for bikes is deeper than any bike builders I have seen. I also asked him if he had any plans for future production bikes.... this is what I got..... "We started out as a small company that grew into something big and now we are back to that small company so it will take time". I think he's got something up his sleeve, and I can't wait til it comes out!

[myronman3]

i sent them my info on investing. you want to **** harley as hard as you can, then invest in erik now. there isnt one swinging dick on this site that cant invest at least a hundred bucks in erik's company. if you really love your buell, want to help erik turn the tables on harley, and help buell to survive, this is the time to show some sack. lame comments toward harley and all the other bull**** are just that, bull****. here is your chance, kids.

Let me ask a realistic question about EBR as a buell owner and lover. Can one realistcally invest money knowing that buell motorcycles no longer exsist as a production bike. What do they produce and who is there primary customer? Now ask yourself this, by how many lets say per year customers will EBR gain? If no more bikes are being built they can only service those that allready exist and once a bike gets so many miles on it people dont want to put money in them profomace wise cause the air cooled motor after 20 thousand miles cant handle to much racing, and even the 1125s are quickly becomming out dated. Give me a good reason and I will invest very soon. im just confused. I really will invest if someone can explain to me how the compainy 4 years from now will be surviving. If you can convince me then I could convince others and then we can hve a compainy that could survive but if you cant convince me how could I convince anyone? Everyone in my famlly knows im going to keep my buell for the rest of my life, but I never though EBR would get enough biz to continue to grow untill I die. They might be able to hang on as a small wharehouse garage with 15 employees, but what is the selling point or idea to make it grow? What will they produce? Harley owns Buell Motorcycles as of today.

Reasons to invest

1) The patents owned by harley are about to expire. (i guess)

2) Erik has a giant fan base, and if they ever come out with another bike, those fans will buy one just because it was made by Erik.

3)Erik has built a motorcycle company from the ground up twice before, he can do it again

4) It just ****s over HD even more if you invest.

Reasons not to invest.

1) Currently, EBR is a buell based race bike only company. Come on, are there that many buell race bikes? No

2) Erik has a new hobby that is not building motorcycles. It's playing music in a band.

3)Some parts have been out of stock for months, yet are still on the website.

4)Investing in EBR does not benefit us as Buell owners being how it will most likely go toward development of a new bike.


So, if you want to do your part in screwing over HD, then invest. It's not a sure thing, it's a gamble. It could turn around some $$ for you, or it could be a loss in the long run. But the good part is, it's a good cause. Don't let the only real american sportbike die.

[wiznut]

Part of me doesnt want to see another bike come out that will cause the value of the XB's to decrease..

[brightbuell]

I agree. i didnt know erick was working on designing a new bike. well I do like to say **** harley! **** HARLEY, **** HARLEY!

ok, if Erik wants us to invest all i want is for him to give us an investment speach on hie web stie so I know what his compainy plans are since I will be part owner if i invest. I would love to invest if I know where its going.

ok, So Please Erik give us a motovational speech as to why we should invest and what we can do to bennifit EBR Racing and how we can prosper and be a part of it.

[onelogue]

$100 invested by me :)

[xtremelow]

Looking into this one!!!

[Andrew88M]

Think about it though. Erik built a compay from a small business to something big by the time it was shut down. I asked him if there was something in the future for production bikes and he gave me the impression that they were working towards it. All the publicity he's getting from his new race bikes will give him the oppurtunity to comeback with a new production bike to compete with superbikes I mean after allfrom what I know he's got at least one racebike competin in the superbike class overseas. Just something to think about.

[anrkizm95]

investing really bad idea.no smart investor would invest in this company at this time.donate thats different ill donate. but when i invest i want returns.

[brightbuell]

I could not emagin that anyone could expect a return at this time. Im going to liook into this ass well!!

[theoctopus]

anrkizm95 is absolutely right.

Investing in EBR is a terrible idea. Buell does not have a huge fan base, EBR is poorly run (as is evidenced by any number of the facets of their business), and there is no product from which a significant source of income can be drawn. To expect returns from EBR is folly, at best.

Donations are one thing, but investment is stupid.

I'm going to save my money and put it toward my education. That's something I know will provide me with a return on my investment.

[everythingwastaken]

My $$$'s on EB. 2012, it's happening. He's got enough $ to hold him over until the patents expire. And then the magic shall once again begin........2012 I only know this because a friend of mine met him recently at his shop and he said EB alluded to this.......2012....

[anrkizm95]

i have no dout he will grow and be a force in mainline bike production.but even if harley gave him his name all remaining bikes and parts,patents and 10 million cash this will never be a strong investment.

[onelogue]

investing really bad idea.no smart investor would invest in this company at this time.donate thats different ill donate. but when i invest i want returns.

Bla Bla, im single, no kids, no debt, perfect credit. Ill gamble my $100 and smile if it does grow a bit :)

[anrkizm95]

sorry i dont consider 100 bucks investing thats more like bar money.:D

[yellow50]

I have a few questions that maybe some of the people that have already invested can answer. Is this actually buying stock in the company. If so, is there a way to check and see how you investment is doing, ie. the stock market.

[anrkizm95]

ebr is not a public company so investing really isnt going to get you any thing at this time.unless your talking about buying a percent of the company. say you have 10 million to spend and you approach eric and he says for 10 mil ill give you 5,10,20,or what ever percent he feels its worth.

[yellow50]

gotcha thanks.

[Red93stang]

They also said people were stupid to invest into Wal-Mart when it first started up. Wish I had a little bit of that "bar money" invested in that stock. No names being named but I thought this board was positive, unlike the badweather?

[theoctopus]

Red93stang, we're not being negative, just honest. Some of us might have investment experience worth sharing.

Furthermore, though I love my Buell, I do not idolize Erik like most do. He's just another dude who made some pretty killer bikes to me. I didn't buy his album, I don't like his music, I don't plan on buying the overpriced EBR merchandise, and I'm not going to go out of my way to have something signed by him. That's just my opinion, though. It's not negative, it's just the way that I feel. His business does not warrant $100 to me. Sorry.

[anrkizm95]

this board is positive wal mart is a public company ebr isnt if you invested 100 bucks in walmart in 1970 youd have 800 now yipee.thers no reason for someone who works hard for their money to waste it on a bad investment.i trade every day with great results.save your money for the bar or donate but dont expect returns if you invest.never follow your heart when investing use your head.

[okey]

well anrkizm95 i am keen to invest into Erik a little of my hard earned for his passion, and my respect for his handling of getting royally ****ed over by HD at a time when he was just about to get rewarded for his 26 years of Buell.As i know **** all about trading can you post some tips on the investments that you get your great results from? After all that may give me some more coin to buy another Buell ;)

[Red93stang]

Thats all part of the Buell experience. Is having the maker of ur bike on demand, contact him on facebook, email or whatever. He will reply and help in anyway. Try and do that with Mr.Suzuki, or Honda Corp. I will agree with you that its risky, but a 100 to 1000 dollars I wouldnt expect big returns on anyway. Me personaly would love to see Erik make this thing go. So if I can help him in anyway I will. I dont like his music either but what he did for the motorcycle world is amazing!

BTW if you invested 10k on Oct. 1, 1970 in Wal-Mart you would now have 57,000,000.

[anrkizm95]

heres a few i made bought siri at 0.07 sold at .65,tsl at 6.20 sold 56.72,stp at 6.80 sold at 31.51,oww at at 1.90 sold at 8.60 also made a **** load off ford and chevy during their ups and downs.if you want mto invest in eric more power to you its not my money i dont really care,i donated.i think walmart stock went public in 1972 for around 30.00 bucks

[03Firebolt9R]

If someone is looking at this "investment" as a money making endeavor then you SHOULD invest in something else.

I dont think the point of a passionate Buell fan investing in Erik and EBR is to try to get rich. The point is trying to help a man and his company. To help him bring us great products and motorcycles.

It would truly be a sad day if EBR and Buell died completely but it could have been prevented by a small investment.

[Red93stang]

Agree! Well put 03.
