We're starrting to see similar things happen in WI.....Corsa Superbikes went out of biz back in October and now starting back up under a different name and much smaller shop! I can't wait! Good luck to the BCM guys!
That sux. Was one of the biggest dealerships building wise I've ever seen for Italian stuff though (bigger than Pro-Italia even). Wasn't sure how they could maintain that.

none other then they are not there and i was told they had trouble with the landlord. I was also told by some local dealerships(FWIW) they heard not happening either
pretty small area where they are and everybody knows everybody

I did not have trouble with the landlord, the landlord is Bruce. I had an early out clause in my lease and paid him to let me out of it. I closed to move back to PA. I looked into selling but the bike business is so bad right now, no one would buy.
Please don't believe what you hear, unless it is from the horses mouth, or you include a disclaimer that you are not 100% sure.
We bought a new home in PA, back in Bucks County where we were living before coming to NH. Our home in Concord is for sale if anyone is looking!
I sold the name to Seacoast, so I am sure they will be doing something with it. They got the Name, the decals, the T shirts and the Website and Ecommerce site.
Really to me BCM was Bruce and Kyle when Bruce was the owner and Kyle and Jay when I owned it. People mostly came to us for exceptional service and that is what you will still get from Kyle at Seacoast. I am not sure about the other Techs but i do know Jesse ( Charles ) is a great technician also but he is not working on bikes as much as he used to.
If they do use the name, it will never be the same, just as it was not the same as when i owned it compared to when Bruce owned it. They will do their own thing and it will be great in it's own way. Don't compare it to me and don't compare it to Bruce. Take it at face value which is a good shop trying like hell to make customers happy and trying to keep it in the black!
They were supposed to be opening a small sort of race/high performance shop near the track but to date nothing has happened. I believe they were promised some help from Ducati but Ducati now will not contribute.
Rumor has it that they will be expanding their current location in Derry.
To me it would make the most sense if they closed Derry and moved to Manchester or Concord. That is what I would have done.
I have no firsthand knowledge of this just stuff i have gotten thru the back channels of the dark dealer world.
