What's happened to the OS Haro websites ?
« on: December 24, 2013, 04:47 PM »
First Harofreestyler.com went then Dom Phipps's Harocollector.com disappeared without a trace ? What's occuring?
Has Haro or Bob himself clamped down on these websites?
As a huge Haro fan these sites provided great info for builds and some great history and photos...I miss 'em :'(
I know Dom's a busy man these days but surely the website could have been left up and running?
I feel quite sorry for Dom though, he's doing what I consider is a great job but I only ever see him catching flack on the museum from haters.
While I'm at it does anyone know where can I get a copy of his book ? I missed out on getting to London, was too slow at MK13 and they all sold out,  and I don't really want to have to pay £9.00 post if I buy off biagio on ebay ?

any info, heads up and leads on all the above are much appreciated :daumenhoch:
cheers Ant

I asked Dini if he had any left
he had a batch very recently & got Craig Campbell to sign them, but they've all gone...

he said he MIGHT get some more but didn't tell me how much they'd be

Spoke to Dini a couple of days ago, Yes Craig is living with him & they are working on a number of projects together.

Interesting stuff all-round  :daumenhoch: :Great_Britain:

I me Dom about six weeks ago (to collect something rather cool) he is working on the 2nd book, he did tell me about the www.harocollector.com site, but am not sure if what he told me he wants everyone to know, so I will let him give his storey in his time, but it is down until further notice  :(

Guys, give Adam Garner at Moore Large a shout for the book. He had some stock over the summer and I know they spend more time dealing with trade than consumer direct. The book is a consumer direct piece for them so they will sell direct as far as I recall

The Haro site is done with for the foreseeable future. Its a long story, but one which left me with few options. While I am working on finishing book 2 I will leave it at that.

Thanks for all of the support. The second book is bigger, more detailed and has a dedicated UK/Europe section which obviously brings the UK lads into play. The images I have are mind blowing too. Input from Brad McDonald, Giberson,Windy, Peter Hawkins, John Kerr to name a few. A lot more from riders own shoe boxes that blew my mind and hopefully will have the same impact on you guys.

More soon

Cheers
Dom

John Buultjens has been working on a project. A replica of Dominguez's 84 Sport. Not sure when it comes out as I haven't been involved in that one.

Book 2 is exciting. The images I have are outstanding.
