I've hear that Touratech is ceasing trading. How true I don't know.

Yet another link that didn't seem to take me anywhere that had anything to do with the topic in question!

Perlleeze, if you post a link, the least you can all do is hit the 'Preview' button and test the link from there before you hit the 'Post' button 🙄

I was multi tasking and proving I'm no good at it.

I did a search but found no other reference to it.
time will tell if it was correct or not.

Seen this story on another site. They've been declared insolvent but are in the process of trying to come up with a rescue package.

Looks like they will survive but will be down sizing.

Hope they do, it's good to have these independent companies - even if they are a little dear.

They f**k up their company with the huge new plant they purchase apparently such a devlopment project was not planned correctly. My understanding is that they will close new factory return to the old small one and mlst importand,  new owner will sack many of the managers hired there the last 3 years.

That's a shame, maybe. They could save a lot if they stopped sending my their massive catalogues periodically when I've never bought a thing.
I always thought it looked good if I was going RTW and had too much money and had bought the wrong bike. And also they never had stuff for any bike I owned.

But, you do have to admit that their catalogue is just about the best motorcycling porn to snuggle up with on a rainy afternoon. And no plain cover needed either.

Some of the Biker Hotels across Germany and Austria have TouraTech catalogues in the bedrooms like bibles  ;D
