We’ve been wrestling with this decision for the last 6 months and while it’s been fun, Bar Hodgson & I finally concluded that the Romanelli inventory is really holding us back from a number of business initiatives that we’ve had in the works for a while now. So, effective 12:01PM today, we disabled the majority of the Ducati, Dellorto / Malossi, and Brembo inventory and physically moved it to an off-site storage location so that it can be put up for sale as a ‘lot’ along with the Moto Guzzi inventory. For you guys as consumers, I’d expect to see it back in play though another vendor within a fairly short period of time. While it’s taken two years to catalogue the 5,200 unique part numbers, only 2,200 Ducati, Dellorto / Malossi, and Brembo products made it on to the store - with another 892 inactive and waiting to go up with the 1st round of Guzzi inventory. It’s a pretty unique stash of parts in that it lay dormant for so many years – leaving lots of the parts that would normally have been picked through years ago still intact. And then there’s the MV Agusta and Bimota spares.. As a business decision, it was a tough one to make, but the bottom line is that it was more than a full-time job for Emilia and I - and the store left us little time to grow the other business initiatives that we set out to pursue a couple of years ago. You’ll still see a couple hundred items on eBay for a while, and tomorrow we'll be adding select Ducati & Marzocchi items to the store; the Exhaust and Performance Products lines will expand through August. And by the end of August, we’ll launch a new line of products (it’s a surprise) for vintage Ducatis ranging from the singles through the early belt-drive machines. It was a treat building relationships with many of you as customers and sharing in your respective journeys as you brought life back into your machines. We'll continue to do that, but in a different way.. While we’ll look back on the last two years fondly, we’re seriously excited about the prospect of being able to focus on the other business ventures and move them forward. Now maybe I’ll have a bit more time to get the TT1 finished and on the track... |

Hi Steve, Hey I'm confused, too. I hope we can talk and find out more at the 4th symposium. Does this mean we can't get parts for F1s and TTs from you? Oh no, say it's not true. Rich |
