Smokey Posted December 3, 2008 Report Share Posted December 3, 2008 (edited) I'm sure this has made it's way thru the grapevine for some time now, but the deal is supposed to be finalized this week. So what are everyone's thoughts about this?I figure that place can't get much worse. Hopefully it won't drive Pony belly up cleaning up the place.

Casper Posted December 3, 2008 Report Share Posted December 3, 2008 I'm sure this has made it's way thru the grapevine for some time now, but the deal is supposed to be finalized this week. So what are everyone's thoughts about this?I figure that place can't get much worse. Hopefully it won't drive Pony belly up cleaning up the place. Not sure what'll happen with the pending lawsuits against MOC either, anybody know what'll happen there?I heard about this from a few "sources". I'm excited. I think it's awesome.

They bought Yamaha of Columbus a while ago, but they are now buying Motorsports of Columbus which will make them a full 4 line dealer. Sorry if it's a repost.

I know you're old, but man...:D:D:DYamaha of Columbus isn't Motorsports of Columbus, right? It's just one of their lines.That would be like Ohio Motorcycle selling off their Honda dealership. They'd still be Ohio Motorcycle, and still carry everything else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just one of their lines.That would be like Ohio Motorcycle selling off their Honda dealership. They'd still be Ohio Motorcycle, and still carry everything else.2 completely different dealerships. Yamaha of Columbus was in the building that MOC is in back when it was owned by Arena....about 4 years ago now. Then they moved out East. They sold to Iron Pony about 5 months ago.Motorsports of Columbus is a Honda, Kawasaki, and Suzuki dealer on Morse Rd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jagr Posted December 3, 2008 Report Share Posted December 3, 2008 well half of that plaza next to the pony is empty. I'm suprised they aren't doing something with that. I'm actually suprised someone hasn't put a moto themed restraunt/pub in there yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've heard that they'll have to keep it at Morse Rd for one year as part of the existing OEM contracts, but I'm not sure on the details. I'd imagine the final plan would be to move all 4 lines to the store on Westerville Rd, it's certainly big enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can publicly humiliate me. I'm at your mercy.I was thinking he meant Yamaha of Columbus. I'm a tool box...Rumor has been in the works for almost a year, I think.
