Ride Revolution Closed?

I heard a rumor that Ride Revolution has gone out of business. Is this true?

I just tried calling there and got the machine.

It sucks if it's true. I did all my baseline stuff on their dyno and have not had a chance to get up there since I put in my cams and got a custom tune. Looks like I won't get to see how much I gained from them.

Maybe it was they are going to be closing. It was second hand info from my inlaws who live in Bristol.

Do you know when?
I wonder if I can get on the dyno before they close?

Edit:
I sent them an E-mail this morning. Waiting to hear back from them.

Well, I called them again and talked to someone today. They are closing the doors. It will be the end of this month.

This is the part that pisses me off. I told the guy about my situation and how I would like to get one more run in before they close since I've done some more stuff since the last time I dynoed there. I asked him if the dyno was still operational. He says "Yes".

So, I'm like cool I will definitely get there before the end of the month.

Him: Well, we haven't done any dyno stuff for about a month.
Me" but it is operational right? just no one has had a need for to use it?
Him: It's operational, but we are just trying to move product now"
At which point I'm like: WTF? Can I get on it or not?"
Him: No.
Me: Then it's not really operational for me. Is it?
Him: Well, it works. We are just not doing any dyno tuning or pulls or anything like that. It is for sale if you would like to buy it.
Me: Thanks, you've been tremendously helpful.

With customer service as straight forward as that and the high overhead of that building I can't imagine why they are closing.

Finding another shop isn't a problem. It would just be nice to know where I'm at in relation to where I started. If I go to another dyno at this point I'll never be sure how much I've picked up over stock since, I've added the cams and a custom tune since I've been there last.
