This was the last of the Kymco dealers in west or central Tennessee...

boy, that could get ugly, fast, with all the vehicle fuel tanks. Hope they can recover and rebuild / reopen.

Wow, sad deal for the employees....and the customers.
So....nothing suspicious about the fire..
Not another dealer trying to get out from under....which is good.

My Vespa/Piaggio dealer went belly up after a small tornado damaged building and products.
He sold Victory motorcycles - and Piaggios.

I unboxed and purchased my Liberty150i while they were cleaning up shortly after the storm!
They trailered it to my house 40 miles away....and a few weeks later they closed!
(glad I took the time to research ease of DIYing the scooter before the purchase. Parts are easy from big dealers in TX or CA.)

Did you use this dealer Karl? Very often or never?
How far to the next?

my dealer doesn't do any welding in house, if they did, I could see a fire happening, the fabricator they send stuff to has a much cleaner shop

Truly sad.  A loss for all.
Hope they rebuild.
