+1 for Marty as well, he's a great guy and I've been to a few tracky day things with him (well, he was there anyway).  Really knowledgeable and friendly.

Talked to Marty last time I was in the shop (two days ago) and thought he was very helpful.

If I was going to guess, though, I'd say if Scott did leave, it has to do with the shop in Alvarado closing and combining all the resources into the Dallas locale.

This is good for me, great really. My go-to guys to talk to (or call and question) are Corey and Jordan (and Stuart Rust). And so when I stopped by AMS-D on Wednesday, though Marty was helpful, I riddled Jordan with questions primarily.

Did like Scott a lot, would be interested in finding out what's up.

What? AMS-A closing? News of Scott leaving? Marty in? Wow, I gotta check the clock....someone say Marty? McFly? Next thing you know someone will say we have a black President ha ha I thought y'all were just kidding! Need a new flux capacitor.


Oooww, 1600! isn't that an address of something famous?

AMS-A is more like "combining" back with AMS-D so everything is under one "roof", consolidated and more efficient.

haven't met one SOB yet from AMS.  I like everyone, now whether or not they like me is a different story.

so, where in the hell are the putting everything in that tiny store?  I guess parts will be harder to come by since they can't stock stuff anymore.

They've acquired a few adjacent buildings, or nearby buildings, so they'll have plenty o' room!

oh dear GOD the prices just SHOT UP!!!!!!!!!!  that district is costly. 

doubt it. they've had these buildings for awhile.

Scott left for personal reassons , Marty has been at AMS-A since 2008 but i guess he is going to work in Dallas now..

Also Tara left she had a baby last fall so she wants to spent more time with the baby..


Any more rumors to clear up?

oh Ronr Marty never raced bikes... just trackdays... for the last year or so...

oooh, and AMS got to do the Dealer-Launch of the Streetfighter - so when i stopped in the Las Vegas Ducati shop (Pat Clark Motorsports) - they knew all the guys at AMS and were really impressed with everything. Apparently most of the shops headed down to here and AMS was essentially the host. That's the vague understanding I got.

Yeah, when's the ST replacement coming?

every Duc dealer I've been to while traveling knows of AMS and Jeff, absolutely everyone.   

Corsa in Portland, Beverly Hills and Fort Lauderdale just to name a few.  I must confess that every time I travel I make room, two hours or so, to stop by at the nearest Duc dealer....wish I had more cash

I'll leave this is as a rumor!    i think you will see a multi replacement sooner than an ST replacement...

The future of the ST is tied to OCC.  Paul Teutul Sr. becoming a Ducati dealer is not just a coincidence.  He is going to help Ducati design the new ST.

Scott left for personal reasons? Hmmm, inquiring minds want to know.
