Ducati Monster Forum

Well so much for the Job at a Ducati & Sea Doo dealership, they have decided to close down at the end of next month, To many bills piling up and not enough people walking through the door (worst time of the year to be selling Bikes or Jet Ski's) we all got told today they will be closing both stores down, I'm not angry or upset, it's been fun.

Some big Jet Ski dealers went under in Qld/NSW and now a heap of current model ski's have hit the market cheaper than the Boss can buy them for, and then with a recession, poor winter sales anyway.
plus the Ducati sales have just about stopped, They just sold a new Hypermotard for $15k on road (That was a struggle) and they have a new Multistrada for $17 on road, a S4R for about $4k off RRP including on roads, no one wants them.

It's been fun, but I might have to go out and get a real job now  [puke]

but such is life  [thumbsup]

Society is to blame!  [laugh]

Hope ya land on yer feet yet again CairnsDuc

Thanks for the interesting write ups whilst you were there.

Maybe you should talk to Dock bout the Multi??  he really, really misses his multi - apparently?

"If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is" :( A shame though.

Thank you for your interesting stories [thumbsup]

Good luck with getting a new job, hope it works out well. Keep us informed [thumbsup]

Sorry to hear about your circumstances. Hope you can get yourself a replacement job quickly.

Ironic to hear the media and Govt continually crow how well we are doing. Seemingly in complete denial of the world collapsing around us.

bad luck mate hope you find something you like going , but jeez if you fellas cant sell any bikes this time of the year its going to harder in the colder states cheers and best of luck bazz

Im sure you will find something again... for now you can have more time to  [moto] - Chris

Sorry to hear mate. Loved reading your posts on what you were riding. Keep your chin up - it gives em something to aim at....

[laugh] [clap]

Sorry to hear about you misfortune.  Like others have said your stories have been interesting.

It is serious if people arent buying quality products like Ducatis....  I could always do with a new Jet Ski or another Duke for the shed.  Maybe there will be some really good deals for cash!!!

that's a bloody bugger... I'm one step behind joining you it that same boat. :-\
that saying something about doors closing and new ones opening..there has to be truth in that??
look forward to hearing about it CairnsDuc

Thanks for all the support Ladies and Gents, I have some good References from this place and my last job, and a lot of the electrical stores are advertising for staff, so it looks like I'll be back to the 7 day roster of Electrical retailing again, but such is life, at least it's a job.
and I've still got 5 to 6 weeks to find something I suppose.

I still reckon Society is to Blame  [laugh]

I do agree Society and the Media are always to blame.
If they stop talking about GFC and down turn people might just start to feel better.
I know you'll land on your feet, good people do.

sorry to hear bout that....I enjoyed your stories and reviews!

tell the boss to send the unwanted ones down here....

Dock...you take the noodle!

As bigmic said......

As one door closes another one opens CairnsDuc......

All the very very best on where your next adventure takes you.  [coffee]

Been great hearing your Duke reviews....  [thumbsup]

thanks for all the info on the bikes, and hope everything goes well for you in the future

Geez mate what a downer.

All the best looking for that stimulus job.

Just think you can add a new entry to your resume.
