Further to Petes post ,a little more background:
The MV Agusta Owners Group of Australia was officially launched with the Paul Feeney Group at World Superbikes Phillip Island in 2003.
It was an incorporated group with myself as first public officer and Chairman.
(It could only be formalised with the consent ofthe Importer.)
The plan was to establish a meaningful presence in Victoria then roll out the entity in the other states. Unfortunately, due to a lack of membership and interest at that time the public liability issue became very real and or damaging, particulary given the groups activities on the track.
MV s precarious position at the time also impacted not only on the Importer but potential new owners due to the lack of supply.
I should also point out how fortunate we have been to have Paul Feeney going above and beyond the call of duty regarding customer service,care and attention and more importantly, his loyalty to MV Italy particulary given the instability of the mother ship over the last few years.
I have had discussions with Paul Feeney and Patrick Lowry regarding the MV Agusta Factory Club and I have also corresponded with Stefano Gaspari in Italy and whilst there is nothing formalised for Australia it is on the "agenda"
In the meantime we continue on as MV Augusta "private" and more importantly, continue to indulge in the passion that is MV !!!
