CSBK - Ace Moto Tech named as CSBK tire installation partner
Official web site of the CSBK Canadian National Superbike Championship.
ace moto tech, bridgestone, csbk.
- Thread starter boyoboy
- Start date
I tried booking him to get work done on my track bike over the Winter. Called in November/December and was told he'd call me back to arrange a date to drop it off.....crickets.
Tried to book in a street bike to get work done the Winter before that and same thing.....crickets.
And it's not like I would be a new customer, I've been to him a few times over the years going back to when he was working out of his house. He did tell me a couple of years ago when I saw him at Calabogie that he wanted to get out of the Service part of bikes and focus mainly on just tires and oil changes, so I guess that's what he's done.
Good for him, but how about let people know when they call for a Service appointment instead of leaving them hanging?

This surprises me. That has to be a crap load of tires and oil to change in order to stay afloat and make living just off of those two low cost services.
Unless now there is a decent amount of $$$ coming from Bridgestone.

Strictly my $0.02 -
I think Bridgestone Canada paid a boatload of money to become the prime sponsor and tire supplier for CSBK.
Then they needed somebody to administer the program and started looking around.
Pro 6 and Dunlop were doing a good job, but likely couldn't/wouldn't match what was being brought to the table.
Adrian will probably supply the bodies, Bridgestone will provide the truck and trailer, inventory and necessary equipment.
I have nothing to back this up, just a hunch.

Pro6 didn't have any idea about the switch from Dunlop to Bridgestone until it was announced. They were 100% in the dark and it was a rude slap in the face for them, especially after working so hard to help CSBK even have a series during COVID.
But yes, Bridgestone doesn't care about the cost because CSBK is their test to show they can supply and support a National series and will use this to try and get the National series in the US.

They have the money and resources - this doesn't have to be a money making or break even proposition for them.
They sell a lot of car tires, this deal likely comes out of their marketing budget.
