Your Ambassador is the nicest example I have seen!! It’s just perfect and the attention to detail is stunning. I think it should break $15K IMHO and would be worth every penny. It’s got to be hard to let this beautiful bike go but hopefully the new owner will look after it. Best of luck with the resultsJim
Well me and the loop had a big day on May 9th. I am not tech-savy so I found a gound whippersnapper on Reddit who films and edits a bunch of gopro action sports stuff. He mainly does downhill longboarding videos with his crew of insane Gen Z'ers who ride longboard (them are long skateboards) down the various roads and mountains around here. Thomas came over and we shot a narrated walk-around video of the bike, a cold start video, and he strapped me up with a go-pro and edited together some footage of me riding the bike around my neighborhoodHere's the riding videohttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_e9w5SVaRac&t=39sLater the same day, I rode down to the River Arts District to meet the photog that BAT had assigned to me, nice young lady named Virginia. She took about 200 pictures of everything from the keyring to the inside of the gas tank. The photo service BAT uses (Snappr) had the photos re-touched, forwarded them to BAT, and sent me a link to view them within 2 biz days.Afterward me and the wife had double cheeseburgers and rode home chatting about how much we will miss the Ambo.By the 11th, I have been assigned an 'Auction Specialist' named Chris. He will actually write the ad and guide thru the remainder of the process. I've just emailed him a detailed breakdown of everything done to the bike, what parts are new/refurbished/etc. I suspect we will be in contact over the next few days as we answer questions back and forth and we complete the listing.
Mayor,Looks like it’s doing well, now that it’s hit five figures. Should be fun to watch the last two minutes, which may take an hour.
Thanks for following along everyone. And thanks for the nice comments about the bike! My buyer is almost a local, the bike is headed to Tryon NC. We will meet at his bank Monday afternoon to take cash and notarize the title, then drive to my house to load up his bike.I wasn't super happy with the final number, but this is the chance you take with a no-reserve auction and no ability to schedule the end time. Kinda difficult to account for an auction ending at the exact time the DOW is taking a 900pt nosedive and all the news coverage is 9% inflation and a pending recession. I do think if the bike had been listed sooner, in April or May, the price very well could have been $2k+ higher.. But who knows.In the end I had a cool project for over a year, and I got to own/ride a super cool bike last summer and this spring. This has deff made me a Loop fan for life and I do see another loopframe (the next one not so shiny) in my future. Most importantly I didn't end up underwater, I actually made a few bucks on the whole thing! (if you consider my time free)I would go the BAT route again, but I certainly would require a reserve next time. Overall is was a pretty simple process... If you can accept not being in charge of your own listing timeframe and working with someone to write the ad, then I would say go for it.
I don't know the time and money you had in it but looking at the condition I thought the buyer got a bargain. It was freaking beautiful, everything polished and pristine. They never looked that good new.
That’s decent money but not great Chad, but that was definitely the best way to sell it. I don’t think Guzzis get the love that airheads do. Your bike is simply fabulous.
Would you have put a reserve price on the bike if you could re-do?
