Thursday Morning Moto News - Air Asia Deal, BMW Dealers & Simon Andrews

Fernandes is seeing his company improve and get better and the idea behind his sponsorship of the racing world is that it will bring more attention to his low-cost airline.

Get this - even though the economy is still in bad shape, BMW Motorrad managed to open eight (8) new dealerships in the USA. All of them have been opened in the last five months. Given that their sales figures have shown that they have been the least hit by this recession in the industry, it does make some sense. They want to be there when things start getting better again...and that is not bad business.
