On Thursday December 8, I received a call from Mona Alsop, not intending, as I r equested 10 days ago, to give me a full statement

on the Big Bear Choppers situa tion, but asking that we remove her phone number listed in comments by a person w ho could be an ex collaborator. Of course, during this phone conversation, I asked her the questions to which al l BC s clients/vendors and the overall industry would like answers. To almost each of them Mona replied that BBC s lawyer requested that her and Kevin make no state ment. The only pieces of information I could get was: 1- that BBC tried hard to keep the business afloat, hoping for an investor to step in. 2- that the company will file for bankruptcy. 3- that Kevin would have contacted all clients who ha ve legitimate issues regarding deposits or bikes paid in full and never delivere d. Mona refused to clearly answer my questions regarding: the foreclosure process b y 2 of BBC s lenders; if one way or the other BBC intended to complete the bikes o rdered, paid and never delivered; if it is true that they already moved equipmen t/bikes/inventory to another location and which one; if BBC has the intention to operate under bankruptcy or if her and Kevin intend to start a new bike buildin g business. Before ending the conversation, and although I obviously respect the fact that t heir attorney doesn t want BBC owners to talk to the press, I suggested again that it would be better for all those concerned by BBC demise that she provides me w ith a written official statement regarding her and Kevin s intentions, and that I will publish it as is. For this purpose, a deadline of Friday evening December 9 - See more at: http://cyrilhuzeblog.com/2011/12/11/big-bear-choppers-out-of-busi ness-update/#sthash.MBb7JsOZ.dpuf
