    That's right Ernie.
    62 Euro is the price all inclusive.
    I had to pay the books in $ too.

    Signed up today and want to say hi to everybody in here.

    If I can give a helping hand with something just let me know.

    This isn't a Zero bike.
    If I'm right it's built in the US

    Yeah, but d_man, you're going the other way, so it's cheaper for you! For you, $62 only costs about 49 euros!! For me, 62 euros costs about $78.

    I'm not saying your price is unfair, it's not. It's just not economically feasible for me - I'd be better off ordering directly from zero & paying in dollars rather than paying you in euros after converting to dollars...

    GB Pounds are even worse for me...

    Now my head hurts...

  12. This post is a testament to one thing and one thing only:

    Simplicity

    The bikes from Zero speak to a different audience than a lot of the American custom built bikes out there right now. The Jap stuff isn't about one off billet stuff. It's about the beauty of mechanical shit thrown together in a way that is mean looking.

    I bought the books in the time that the US Dollar and Euro were 1:1 and my price for a copy was the same as on the Zero site.

    I can't remember when Zero had his last site update, but the price on it is still the same as last year(34 euro or $34).

    Maybe you've luck and can buy it $34 from Zero.

    I have got more books for sale like the Japanese "Harvest time".
    This book is cheaper than the Zero book and only for sale in Japan.

    Email me for info

    d_man, I'm not slamming you - as I said, your prices are fair. No questions.

    I could, but it's still $28 shipping to UK, so $62. My original (slight) whinge was that the book was too expensive in the first place! It's probably not, but the shipping is...

    I like your site! Keep up the good work!

    I know everything about the expensive shipping in Japan.
    I've just bought some old Vibes magazines in Japan and let them ship surface (by boat) which is the cheapest way to do.

    I have to wait 7 weeks for them.

    I'd like to see THESE guys on TV...if we've got American Chopper, Southern Chopper, etc...when do we get to see Japanese Chopper..and get to see them build bikes cooler than the US builders? That'd be cool...

    Bought a month back I think, zero was featured on one of the speed channel bike shows (i think, pretty sure it wasn't tlc or anything else), really great stuff, actually has a lot of style unlike most out there...
