Looks like Massimo Tamburini is looking to retire and pursue interests outside motorcycling. Good luck to him.

Almost seems like he didn't want to work for Willy G...

Good luck to him.

Perhaps he's been watching HD's stock prices, and decided to get off the ship.

He's got a lot of years in, so I wouldn't be surprised if he was just unwilling to deal with any management changes. It'll be interesting to see what he does next. He's designed some fantastic 2-wheeled machinery.

There was a falling out between Tamburini and Claudio Castiglioni when HD bought MV.  In the interview I read, Tamburini stated that Castiglioni blamed many of MV Agustas financial problems on him.  Maybe Tamburini and Castiglioni never made up.

As a former MV owner, I was really suprised by their public bashing of each other. Many MV owners are not Castiglioni fans. I feel that it was fitting that he named the F2CC after himself

I thought it was arrogant to name the F2CC after himself.  He could do whatever he wanted since he ran the company, but it wasn't something that I thought was normal.
