czakky Posted September 18, 2018 Posted September 18, 2018 Moto Intl. is closing. I’ve never been there, but I’ve ordered a good amount of parts from them as well as a copy of “Guzziology”. Bummer for the Guzzi community....
docc Posted September 18, 2018 Posted September 18, 2018 Ugh! Bummer. I just talked to them today. They have so long been my "Local Moto Guzzi dealer in Seattle, Washington." (2200 miles away . . .)
gstallons Posted September 19, 2018 Posted September 19, 2018 That is terrible news . I've bought from them and they are great people !
docc Posted September 19, 2018 Posted September 19, 2018 Last year, I needed 43 individual parts for my clutch/ oil leak situation. They had ALL of them. I had them ALL in under a week. Since Dave Richardson retired from there not long ago, we have been wondering if Guzziology will still be updated and available . . .
docc Posted September 19, 2018 Posted September 19, 2018 Was Dave an owner up there? Service manager, and chief technician, as I recall. Unknown about ownership.
Pressureangle Posted September 19, 2018 Posted September 19, 2018 Well, crap. U was hoping for a service there in a couple days.
Lucky Phil Posted September 19, 2018 Posted September 19, 2018 Bad news indeed,sigh.I had bought a bit of Daytona engine stuff from them and their service was brilliant. Ciao
docc Posted September 19, 2018 Posted September 19, 2018 Well, crap. U was hoping for a service there in a couple days. I spoke with them yesterday. You should call ahead and check in with them. 1
Scud Posted September 19, 2018 Posted September 19, 2018 Yeah, bummer - though I saw something about them continuing to do service after they close the dealership. We still have places like Harpers and MG Cycle - both of whom offer fair prices and great service. I'm looking at my signed copy of Guzziology now. What a treasure.
Chuck Posted September 19, 2018 Posted September 19, 2018 Yeah, bummer - though I saw something about them continuing to do service after they close the dealership. We still have places like Harpers and MG Cycle - both of whom offer fair prices and great service. I'm looking at my signed copy of Guzziology now. What a treasure. I showed my pup Austin the latest version yesterday and told him maybe he could find an older version for cheap since he is bound determined to get a G5.. Unfortunately, I've given older versions to kids that were interested over the years.
swooshdave Posted September 19, 2018 Posted September 19, 2018 Our Portland dealer threatened to close. Similar reasons. They changed their minds, I assume because Moto Guzzi gave them actual support. I wonder if MI is pulling a similar ploy. Maybe threatening is the only thing the Italians understand to get better help to their dealers. 1
swooshdave Posted September 26, 2018 Posted September 26, 2018 I’m trying to figure out if it’s worth riding up to Seattle on Friday to visit the shop before they close. I’ve never been and have thought about it in the past. My bike originally came from Moto International so it would be it’s last chance to go home. Well, since I’ll probably never take it to Italy. Unless I win the lottery. Then I’m taking all you f*ckers. And the bike. Especially the bike.
gstallons Posted September 27, 2018 Posted September 27, 2018 You can go and regret it or not go and regret it . You know what needs to be done 1
plexiform Posted September 27, 2018 Posted September 27, 2018 This is sad news. I’ve bought parts from them and it was nice to know there was a central Guzzi hub on this continent. Too bad someone can’t just buy the shop and keep it going.
