    He has purchased the building where he is now, and it is his intention to extend the building somewhat. He told me the other week that he was 'finalising the the last details to seal the deal and become an official dealer for a new brand' - though he didnt say what brand. Id guess Hyosung - they were the Hyosung dealer once before.

    Yes he is open (or he has been down there Ive been in a couple times in the last couple months).

    It looks like he and his wife are running the ship, and at present, he does not have a qualified mechanic on staff. There are a lot of rumours and shit going around about Dennis and SPV, but keep in mind they are just that, rumours.

    What are you looking at in there? I think he had a 650 ninja in there, but i doubt its your cup of tea.

    yes. the IL4 ninjas around that capacity come in a 600cc, and a 636cc. The 650 is a twin and is more commuter/small touring orientated kind of thing.

    I thought you were fliping a coin over the GSXR and the CBR, what happened with that?

    Dont know why I didnt think of that! - maybe, I guess time will tell. I think hyosung is probably a bit more realistic - they have been a hyo dealer before (they lost that to Advanced, which for whatever reason stopped way back before it became motoxtreme) so it would kinda make sense to get back what they had.
    I did hear through a friend too, that he hasnt actually been an official kwak dealer for quite a while now either, but I dont know if that is true or not
