Ducati/Triumph Glasgow

[Kennybush]

Just read on Facebook that Ducati Glasgow and Triumph Glasgow have called in the administrators.

Hopefully not true and can be saved. But quite possibly another business going to **** because of the virus.

Interesting. All my local bike dealers have had fantastic sales this year, keep saying they can't get enough bikes. Or they are just encouraging me to spend more!

They weren't run by

Sir

Philip Green were they? :apthy:

Little whisper tells me there?s new owners buying it.

I read it on motorcycle law Scotland Facebook page, not see it anywhere else.

Fingers crossed they find a buyer for it. Must be the biggest bike dealership in Scotland?

It?s also on the Ducati Glasgow website. I thought they were always busy due to the fact they were the only Ducati dealer in Scotland plus moving from Great Western Road to their new premises.

Same here, but the size of that unit and that its a prime site location the rent must be extortionate. The rates alone are 14 grand a month !. Thats before you switch a lightbulb on.

Under new ownership and part of the Ducati Manchester Group.

Reopened yesterday.. hope it's successful [emoji120].. however you wonder how many bikes, gear, and what have you they must sell just to cover the rent and rates in that place never mind staff and utilities costs on top..

Wonder if they negotiated a free rent period, I don't see anyone else snapping up that large a premises.. it's a huge obligation to fulfill month after month.

It's good that they have been taken over. Fingers crossed it's viable to keep open.

I've been contemplating my next toy, and think it will be Italian. Sensible head says a multistrada, but I'm erring to a hypermotard...

Good choice going down the Eyetie route Kenny..did you know I'd done the same last month ?.. I'd be really tempted with that Hypermotard, looks a cracking bike.
