From a disinterested party, the story is quite simple: Devon is "Retiring" after many years of active M/C sales & customer support and will become a contributing Board member to the New Staff at District HD (who actually run a big dealership somewhere in Norfolk area)...
The situation will apparently be "evolving" over the next 12 months -- don't know where that leaves the BMW brand at that particular Rockville location. BUT D.B. did sink a lot of money into making his newest showroom (BMW & Ducati) compatible with BMW Motorrad's "required architectural design" [as did Jeff Massey at Morton's]. Bob Henig maybe not to the same extent for some reason?
You'll note that M/C of Dulles' Triumph & BMW & Indian & ZERO has greatly expanded, so maybe some of Battley's clientele is no longer crossing the American Legion Bridge. Just Sayin...
I think Devon plans to spend much more leisure time living and touring in Europe and supporting some of the young motorcycle racers he 'connects' with. He used to ride & race on the track often - let's just say he's slowing down a bit to enjoy the spoils of his labors.
We're going to follow y'alls' escapades from afar when we settle into our new digs in Huntsville!
Ciao, P & K.
