After the stop announced by Umberto Borile and the denial of Administra I started doing some research and I went in person to see what's happening. Here is exclusive video.
One month ago – was the 13 September – I published This article about a halt in the production of motorcycles Borile and, as a result, the brand presented in April by the return plan Umberto Borile is yes manages, Verona company that had taken over the management of production.
The bitter news and then the denial
It was a bitter news for its many vicissitudes and departures blocks, reboots and broken dreams that involved the craftsman of the bike. This time it seemed that it could be that good, and on the other hand it was not so.
After the publication of my video, however,, administer, better, its chief executive Filippo Manara categorically he denied the words of Umberto Borile supporting, instead, that production was continuing albeit with some delay.
How is it possible that on the one hand we speak with total block bitterness and the other instead of continuity with optimism?
I wanted to see clearly, so after hearing the bell Umberto Borile I accepted the invitation of Philip Manara to visit its offices and production. I honestly did not know what to expect, and between work commitments and various joints passed a few days before I could go to San Martino Buon Albergo in the province of Verona. I thought so there was plenty of time to prepare for my arrival equipped with camera and instead was pure improvisation.
The meeting of Administra
I recorded the message of Philip Manara after a long chat in which kindly and told me in great detail each step of these months, the deal to acquire the brand and the difficulties they meet to concretize this entrepreneurial dream especially for the events that preceded his arrival. He pitted dates and figures, shown and email documents, He spoke of future projects, collaborations with German marks (But by showing models of a Japanese brand ed) and what we will see at EICMA with its staff (but I have not seen). After the message we moved to the shop floor site a few kilometers away, and what you see in the video is what I recorded. I think the images speak for themselves. I want to clarify that the camera was not hidden and indeed has been the same Manara to urge me to do the shoot.
In all honesty, I hoped that the meeting would clarify the doubts and instead I have brought in many more.
So many voices, a single application: “where is my money?”
Then I started hearing all the people involved in this matter, from employees to suppliers. It has quickly spread that I was conducting a little investigation and some customers who wanted to get in touch with me to give me their experience.
I posted the video two of these witnesses, but there are others that I could not record but that I jotted. The picture unfortunately still seems pretty clear given that, with different modes, come all to support wait of payments or compensation from Administra.
It is not for me to enter judgments whatsoever, my task is to stop there taking evidence and the reporting of what is happening. I waited a few days before posting this video and this short article in the hope that I giungessero news of solutions between the parties that at the time I did not arrive. So I decided to make public statements and also my spicce considerations before you nourish expectations among fans on the return of Borile motorcycles at EICMA or before other motorcyclists is spilled advances or other parts attendino.
Borile The story is more complex than it actually also looks to the past and the difficulties that preceded Administra and Verona company can hardly blame.
I hope that you will soon come to a solution, We can go back to talking tastefully done and motorcycles, soprattutto, those who have already paid for a bike that will never see can be compensated together with those who no longer has his own movement nor the money for a sale.
I thank all those who in this month have been in touch with me, giving me confidence, They told me their personal stories. Good luck.
To be continued…

The sciuri Umberto just does not deserve it.
Well ... what about ?
I can not be brief, I know by heart the whole story as they are a motorcycle superappassionato,
Umberto know the times of the races with the Villa 350, the Husqvarna 250 ,etc. and as soon as I can I go to the workshop
to find it and see it working. Per me, It is such a fan of classical music to listen to Pavarotti .
It's going through yet another injustice of his life. I would not call drama, It's different, and
unfortunately at home Borile has already entered a decade ago.
He sometimes said to be like Rocky, often it goes to the mat, cashing in, Blood, But it always raises. Ma
questa volta, he told me to be tired.
Too many dogs fish , able to do nothing ,but ready to pounce on its prey.
Malice does not know what, and it is led to trust people, at least until now.
I have seen his work contract, 1.100 Euros per month, more 5 % net sales year.
One way it should pay 10.000 Euros per month, of course. He also agreed in order to review the
His trademark flying on the streets.
Auto company promise, never seen, fuel cards often going to pay it felt to say:"His account
It is locked ladies ". Transfers promised never arrived, payroll that says Total: 800 Euro, of course 1.100
which in any case were never reclaimed even those.
Umberto, He went to the Marches from his old suppliers around Piedmont with his van from 300.000
km but in good shape did not eat a little olive oil. The he signed the transfer of ownership to the company Administra
per 3.000 Euro, just to regularize the thing. Ever seen a cent. Now he has the van at home but can not
use.
inexperienced? Not ,He is one who still believes in people, gives you the you immediately, and not even go to
the hall of the brain that instead might harm him. He does not know the words, dishonesty, betrayal,
malice.
I love him like a brother, and I can not stand that this furbetto last hour if it is
profited, of him as other people who were convinced that they could work seriously feeling the
words of this individual. words precisely, facts ,zero.
He took too stupid journalist, making him see an empty hangar, and the little things that
there were ,shelving including brought them Umberto. It is believed very smart, building lies on a
air castle. Fortunately, people can distinguish the charlatans by men.
I'd love to meet him.
Stefano Ruffin.
I Umberto I Borile a more human contact “commercial” …
Among us just a word, uno sguardo o una pacca sulla spalla 🙂 !!!
When he presented MDV 300 I told him: You carry it the Erzberg Rodeo 2018 on display, partecipo al Prologo e te la porto al traguardo sana e salva 🙂 !!!
DO NOT expect results because they are NOT a Pilot, I have almost 50 years and the bike is NOT, however, is a competitive showcase World !!!
Royal Enfield was present, perhaps the most photographed and I was sad a lot NOT have a MDV 300 … !!!
I ran the same with a Beta 525 RR just bought, in alternaiva I had the Dominator Racing that has made Erzberg 5 !!!
The thing that gave me “nuisance” It is that I joined in November Erzberg with motorcycle then Borile up to a week before leaving Umberto was available to give me his Multipurpose and Mr Manara NOT seemed interested …
You understand well that in addition to the registration fees, transfers etc.… I would like a minimum response !!!
During my fault, for friendship and respect to Mr. Borile I did make a banner 3 meters, a couple of magliettte, a 50in etc. adhesives.. at my expense that I later passed the material to other drivers who used to other Important Events !!!
I think the first thing we want Respect and Education, then we can talk about it yet !!!
Mi spiace.
I do not know Umberto Borile but a day I could send a WhatsApp message (well yes, in a public forum his number, a few months ago no longer working) to compliment him, I had been kidnapped by the lesson he gave to the University of Engineering (I've seen several times).
He replied cordially.
I'm sorry to read about these recent events. I understand that you say that he's tired…
I hope to see positive developments in the future, thanks for keeping us informed.
