I just spoke with Mick Hone Motorcycles on the phone.  I was told Mick is working on re-structuring so that the business can re-open ASAP, apparently with the same name on the front.  I was told it may take a few days before they re-commence trading.  I'm gonna leave my parts orders with them, they can do with all the business they can get.  Worth supporting I think!

I wonder if this situation has something to do with the mysterious and well publicized disappearance of Sigbjorn "Ziggy" Arness? Part owner? And salesman at Mick Hone Motorcycles. (Since located safe and well I understand.)

I only know anything about this because I googled "Mick Hone Motorcycles" after I heard the news re "administration".

I've been a long term customer over there for years. I found it a bit weird that they were re doing the show room if thing we're going wrong?

I think you're right, they did say something about a partner leaving the business on the phone this morning.  It makes more sense now.

Sounds like mainly good news all round.
Even though I live in QLD now, and NSW previously, I've only ever heard good things about Mick Hone motorcycles and considered it an iconic shop.

I'm glad.

It looks like Mick Hone Motorcycles are trading again, I just got an email from them conforming that they've processed the online order that I placed last week.

Isn't stalking someone online a criminal offense these days!

Spelling offence as offense is an offence I believe. J
