Motorrad Central sold?

[Stumpy]

I heard a wee unconfirmed rumour about a month ago that Motorrad Central East and West has been sold

Some of the old staff gone new staff to replace them and a certain well known BMW employee from Dundee heading over

I was expecting to read something on the website but can't see anything to date

Anyone else heard anything?

Haven't heard anything for a long time now, but a couple of years ago at JCT** there was a rumour about Motorrad being bought - then it all went quiet. So it wouldn't surprise me if what you say actually happened.

So...


** I didn't really say this, in case anyone from JCT (or Motorrad) is reading it.

motorrad central

to answer andy h query re motorrad central and east - yes it appears there are a few new directors onboard - i only ordered a bike from them recently and the staff were quite open about it all - and yes apparently the guy from JCT is heading to motorrad east

I was told some weks ago that it had been sold and that Alan Dalziel was taking over as manager. I thought that it was common knowledge TBH

I'm assuming that that's who "the well known employee.." is.

Why not just say so instead of the cloak and dagger stuff?

I know he was well known but I couldnt remember his name

So it's more amnesia than MI5?

Cheers Not owning a BMW anymore I don't get up there very often nowadays and my nose was bothering me
I wasnt suggesting they where keeping it a secret but expected to see something on the website

yes,

hopefully alan won't bring that other galoot in the sales department at Dunee with him.

that may explain why I had a nice welcome at MCW a few weeks back when I took the beast in for it's MOT, normally I get ignored but this time round helpful and chatty

It's Still Rumours!

Heard about this a few weeks ago. Apparently MC bought by one of JCT's best customers - he's bought many bikes from them - and Alan Dalziel is now on-board as well - maybe as manager, but also rumours he's involved in the purchase of MC as well?
I could name the other party involved in the purchase - but thought it best to let those involved (including Alan) make their own announcements when the time is right.
I notice they stopped sponsoring the SS on here about the same time as the stories started - but hopefully they'll be back

Head of operations ,Mel Robinson, was the owner of Moto Ecosse at Cambuslang & Ayr. He's been a Guzzi dealer for quite a few years & was very highly regarded by Guzzi for his technical know how. He's also supposedly shit hot setting up fuel injection systems.
