Legitimizing the Brand

**Gardo** · 05-24-2011, 04:05 PM

So here in the states we have a trade publication that the insurance companies and other motor vehicle agencies use to verify a car or motorcycle and so on.
as per wiki
"The company reports market value prices for new and used automobiles of all types, as well as RVs, motorcycles, snowmobiles, and personal watercrafts. For new automobiles, KBB provides information about a make's MSRP, dealer invoice price, and a vehicle's New Car Blue Book Value; what others are paying for a new car this week. For used cars KBB provides retail value, trade-in value, and private party value. It obtains retail pricing by collecting information about actual retail sales"

Well the Cleveland Cyclewerks Tha Heist made it to the big leagues
Tha Heist they are in the Kelly Blue Book

Currently we do not have pricing for this model. Please check back because we add new data frequently.

Now I'm sure Gardo is working for PIT.

You're a Dick

No i have a nice cushy office job in NYC for a hedge fund

hahahahah I like barnone and his skepticism of all things ccw.

Why is under PIT and not under Qinqgi? My MSO was a Qinqgi and had no model name listed. My insurance company still doesn't know what to call it. lol.

Gardo,
The truth hurt with all the BS you have been spewing about PIT and CCW?

The bike is a typical Chinese bike which is to say no telling who makes it. Maybe you need to ask Hardknock?
Grade eight chrome on the plastic headlight.

Well we know that they are manufactured at Rhon the Qingqi group they never hid the fact

Someone said that the Heist was totally proprietary.

**Gardo** · 05-24-2011, 08:13 PM

Yes proprietary, as in Scott's design and concept. Its in his blog, he took it there to get built. What is the issue?
A guy, who had a vision, is bringing a product to market. He also has taken time to make sure it was done right and legal. Its a good product, I have almost 800 miles on my bike, and there are a number of people sharing in his passion. What happened to this being all about the ride and having fun.
The Bike has been featured in a number of trade publications and has had a positive reception. The CCW bikes are being sold, under the CCW name, worldwide. I say good for him and may he succeed.

Yeah guys WTF... ends up my Heist is only a 229, plastic headlight and a bit of a rough seat. If only I could go back in time and have a dong fanger delivered to my door. But whatever they are the same thing anyways.

hahahahahah F that

Actually I give Scotty, CCW and PIT credit for taking an idea, making it happen, and standing the fuck behind it. That type of stuff is getting rare in these internet days.

I don't mind spending a little extra to support the little guy trying to make a go of it.

Barnone - I really find it all amusing. You just can't let it go man! You got a nice bike that you enjoy, so do we. WTF is the big deal?

Gardo's excited about hitting the KBB, now we can see how much $$$ we lost simply driving off the showroom floor lol
