Default Anyone else ever..

seen their bike used on a website and not known about it?.. A friend pointed this out to me today and I'm not sure how I feel about it..

Click on the bike pic in the upper right corner of the ad.. Funny thing is, the pipe that's on my bike isn't the one designed for the Rocker.. It's just the standard softail 2-1.. lol

Its probly some type of copyright infringement, but it hard to police this sort of thing unless your a professional photographer and can show damages, but that being said just contact them maybe at least have a credit posted for your bike or try to maybe get some discount on some parts you need ?

I think they owe you a black 2-1 pipe of your choice.

Derned Aussies. Putting shrimp on barbies, wrestling with crocks and lifting photos of our mans Rocker.

Where will it end.

On a serious note? I betcha you are good for a big huge discount from those dudes.

A pic I took of a friends bike was used on Ebay to sell wheels similar to those on his bike. It's probably still being used. I CONTACTED THE SELLER AND NEVER GOT A RESPONSE. Oh well. What can you do. The conveniences and inconveniences of the internet.

I agree, not much you can do about it. I would take it as a complement.
