Pirelli who? Pirelli what?

So I get a text message from a fellow racer asking who I am going to buy my Pirellis from next year...

Was nice someone called and gave me a heads up

Huh?

 

Rich out of the game?

 

Check out the "breaking news" section on RoadRacingWorld... I dont like to post links on here...
The East Coast Distributor jumped ship. Innovative Motorcycle Research (IMR) is out.
Classy move to find out from a press release.

Damn...hoping someone else steps in for ya pronto.

 

Yes it's called Dunlop!

 

Oh Snap!..........

Somebody post that broken leg or stunter snapping his forks pic.

 

Weird

 

Curious, how else are people supposed to know about a business closing/changing hands etc? That's what a press release is for. Is he a personal friend and didn't let you know?

 

You develop a relationship with the "vendors" and they expect you to promote their product, their service, etc. I was brand loyal for 4 years.
Rich(Pirelli)never called or sent an email. I am on several email lists and a heads up would of been nice. They would certainly of expected a heads up if I showed up one weekend and switched tire brands and left them hanging with inventory/etc...
How hard would it of been to reach out to your "A" rider list and say there are going to be changes?

While it was sudden Aaron, I think the writing was on the wall, unfortunately.

 

Yep I agree... AND Change is not always a bad thing... I just don't like the way it was handled/announced...

One less vendor at the track! Totally sucks!

 

No doubt! You cant come with out everything you need... Not sure what the left coast is like but as you know Rollie we have no vendor support on EastCoast (NorthEast-MidAtlantic specifically) with the exception of tires...

Michelin

now Sam what about Michelin, they are coming out with an all new game changing product in 2012, which i have been on, and they are Fantastic!

 

Sounds like what happened to Moose when Rich got it - wth is going on ?

 

What's the issue with posting RoadRacing World links here?

 

what this guy said:up:

 

Mr. Short aka Shady...it is times like this that I must grab a hold of myself and not seek some sort of retribution. If you would like..we could elaborate more on that "proposal" you mentioned in another post

And now its time for a short commercial break...

Dunlop "we will supply the rubber, you supply the balls".

 

I wasn't sure if there was an issue with RRW and posting their info on websites / forums so I took the safe approach... I thought I remembered something about certain stuff being copyrighted etc... Besides i think its better for people to go to website and look around maybe they will find other stuff while they r there...
