Herbert Schwarz, one of the TT founders has put out a video on social media, saying the business problem come from 2016 where the new hall (distribution centre? ) being built had major delays (= cost overruns ) and there were also software issues that caused production and distribution delays.
For the moment, production will continue as it was. There's now a new MD in charge (I presume put there by the banks) who will endeavour to get the accounts back into the black. Just like Brian Johnson taking over from Bon Scott?
Saw this price comparison on a TT thread on a different forum:
Trick brake and gear levers: 287gbp plus postage at TT
https://shop.touratech.co.uk/ac-schn...nd-rninet.html
and
14.76gbp including postage from China at
Billet Pivot Clutch Brake Lever For Honda CRF250L CRF250M 2012-2016 Motorcycle
A 20th of the price! Maybe a time now to enter the real world of product pricing? Manufacture in China and rebadge for sale online only in Europe at the same price for all? Sadly if I were working at TT Germany, I'd be dusting down my CV/resume.
