Jr still needs to find out what he's "eating" on the shipping.
There may be a shipping charge. I'm waiting for Jr. to call me back.

Very happy to help. The shipping costs are low when your distributor pays for shipping.

Important update: (2006FJR, you may want to add this to the first post)
Jr at Cycle City Motorsports would like this info passed on to you guys:
He will honor the $275 price (shipping included in price)
He can have the tires available for a February 9, 2009 ship date
He needs a head count. Email him at: jr<at>cyclecitymotorsports<dot>com
I'm assuming there is a cut off date, but I forgot to ask him.

I just spoke to Jr and he was nice enought yesterday when I got my tires mounted to give me a ride home as a favor. These guys are really pretty cool and they are going to see how this first order goes to see how we do future orders.
All orders must be in by Feb 8th so they can ship Feb 9th. This is a delivered cost and includes customers in California. Here is your chance, email Jr and tell him what you want and they will bill you and ship the items at the same time and on the same day. They want to get a feel for how this will go and then maybe we can open this up to the guys who want the Roadsmarts. :clapping:

Well, I get paid 2/6/09 and have some (not sure how much) overtime coming. Sounds like I'll get in on the deal just under the wire... Many thanks!

Well not to belabor the point but I am looking at a shopping cart and it says 269.98 and I have bought from them two sets at the same price. perhaps you picked a different size. Or maybe they know your in Kalifornia

I get the 278.98 price from Derby too. Not that that's shabby -- I'll remember that in the future. But I'll take the 3.98 and ride to Starbuck's.
Thanks a ton, 2006fjr and others, for setting this up, working out the details, and passing it on.

You guys are welcome. Don't forget the Derby price does not include shipping costs and the Cycle City price is a delivered price to your door. :clapping: I was hoping to some of the local guys taking advantage of riding in to the store to have the tires changed.I get the 278.98 price from Derby too. Not that that's shabby -- I'll remember that in the future. But I'll take the 3.98 and ride to Starbuck's.

Haaha my bad wrong tire i had the PP II.
But still only 9 dollars difference and thats an every day price.
I guess my point is that for a a GB I kind of expect a significant savings

How much is shipping? I entered a front and rear tire and it was $278.98, shipping to 92620 was $25.86 for a total of $304.84. If my group buy is $275 shipped then there is a savings of $29.84 or close to 10% and the savings will depend more on where you live. Please read this post in bold for this forum, If you can't say anything nice, or want to second-guess the organizer...don't say anything at all.

What would DoG do?
No good group buy goes un-****-on.
Where TF are all these guys with their fantastical prices before somebody else does the legwork to set something up?
Oops, that wasn't very nice, was it? I'll STFU now.
:clapping: Good job '06!

There have been instances where people have asked why there aren't more group buys like there used to be or why certain people that used to organize a lot of GB efforts no longer seem to do so.
These are examples of why. Someone steps to the plate and does the work only to have their efforts dumped on with people who claim they can get better prices or that the GB isn't discounted deeply enough.
I'll have to agree with those who ask where these *** munches were with THEIR wonderful group buys before hand.
If you can get better group prices then get a GB started and show everyone how it's done. If you can't be bothered with it and only want to piss on someone else's efforts, then why not just keep it to yourself. Step to the plate and we all benefit. Dump on the work of others and watch them quit trying.
