In my web-browsing today, I just discovered that Bend Euro Moto has closed their doors.   :'(

First stumbled on it in a note on MotoCorsa's used bike site:

Then checked the web and found on Ducati.ms:

Sucks to see a Duc dealer go away.

On the upside... BMW of Western Oregon (Eugene store) is the newest Ducati dealer around these parts, so Eugene is an option.  Doesn't look like the Tigard store is carrying Ducs at the moment... not sure they want to go up against MotoCorsa.  Another note: looking at their selection online, they're obviously trying to avoid internal competition... the Multi 1200 isn't there (would eat into their R1200GS sales, I presume).
