hmm. that's not good.
i'm still waiting for them to send me my center stand!

Man, I would be surprised if no one purchased Vectix if it does go under. They seem to have a pretty strong brand. How long have you been waiting for the stand?

Crap! :( Ya know, they should have put all of their eggs into that bitchen superbike concept and shined the scooter portion of the business, that RoBrady bike could have put electrics on the map with the same respect generally give only to the exotics.

Listen to me :) I'm already filling the grave, I need to calm down... but still :'(

Well, since you are going to what if's I'll play along :D You can bet that superbike would be entered in the TTXGP if they went the route of producing it. If it did well there may have been some decent sales. Possibly not in time as the TTXGP is still a few months away.

I think Vectrix was a little far out on the financial limb when the economic collapse sawed it off. Still, I think going backwards to a lead acid tech for the lower-end market was a bad idea. Should have at least stayed with NiMH, but really should have have some lithium ion going.
Still, they really did a good job with international branding and I think it should make a pretty nice deal to snatch up. It would be a shame if all that went to waste. Besides that, they still owe a customer a stand.
