Hey what happened to the motoplex in laotto, Indiana? I always went there to get small oem parts, and i tried to call them like a month ago and it said it was disconnected? Did they go broke? This sucks, for you of who knows there are only like 2 yamaha dealers in the NE corner of indiana now (planet powersports :rolleyes: , and r and d)

Exactly. Ski, the old owner got them into some financial trouble, then everything went downhill from there. They closed down right before the indoor season was about to start. They are now trying to sell the building, but I think the outdoor track is still up and going.

Where are you from? I really like House of Honda and Yamaha in Fort Wayne whenever I need parts.

From my understanding Ski and his wife got a divorce and that helped shut it down as well.

House of Honda shouldn't be that far. It is located probably 1 mile off of I-69. Here is a map (http://maps.google.com/maps?hl=en&um=1&ie=UTF-8&q=house+of+honda&near=Fort+Wayne,+IN&fb=1&view=text&latlng=41132317,-85165920,15627693871070587187)
My dad has a branch of his accounting firm in Angola. During tax season he is there twice a week.

Josh, I've found the building for sale online. Last I checked they were asking just over $900,000. They have been sending letters with info to big businesses around the area trying to raise interest. My guess is that it will be turned into a big workshop for some company. What a shame...
