Warner outdoor in the bloomington area ( south mpls ) is closing aug 1.

Man, it was pretty harsh going into the shop for the closeout sale. They have been selling snowmobiles, atv's and more recently victories for some time. and I was face to face with the owner. just very sad to see a small business owner struggle.

How about a bail out for Vic shops ; )

What ? we buy gas,trailers, stop at restaurants, buy leathers and open doors for all the pretty girls. Can the big banks say that !

Kline motorsports also closed this week, apparently being taken over by Tousley Ford, Honda and whatever else they carry.

I remember Warner's opening on a Sunday so us Northeasters could do oil changes. Really, really nice people.
The economy sucks but people will buy a bike on Ebay or from a dealer 500 miles away to save a few dollars then whine cause the local dealer folds. Sure we all like to save money but for a few dollars to help some nice local shop stay open.
How many of these "money" savers use regular gas, cheap oil and filters and then have a +$100 a month cellphone bill and a $500 Iphone? Duh...

Sorry to hear that they are closing............is it for financial reasons or is it just time to retire? I was last there about 3 months ago and traffic seemed pretty good. I think the first time I went to Warner's (around 2003) they claimed to be the largest Victory dealer in the country. Something obviously went wrong since that time. I guess I'll have to find a new dealer to visit when I'm in the Twin Cities...........

With the recession and most folks reducing their consumer debt, closings are going to be common place for some time to come. I hope the folks that were working at the dealer can find good employment soon.
