I'm not familiar with the brand. Were they specialising in accessories for touring bikes?

That, I did not expect, especially given that BMW GS adventure bike sales PCP deals are going from strength to strength.

Folk aren't as inclined to festoon a bike with road-of-bones-bits when they're renting it, perhaps?

ooh dear, they're also OE manufacturers for Ducati and of late have been supplying most of the multistrada and multistrada enduro accessories from sump and rad guards to seats and the alu panniers.

There's a metaphor here somewhere.

The emerging story is that they were stuffed by their own success: a factory expansion went wrong, and they were unable to fulfil orders.

The demand and brand cachet is still there, so I reckon they might turn this one around.

There you all go with your allegories.

Perhaps it's got absolutely nothing to do with their aggressive profit margins.
