Ridley Motorcycle licensed 2 Wheel Ventures to market the company's genuine parts through an online store and direct to the dealers with success. While sales for new motorcycles struggled because of financing, the demand for parts and accessories for Ridley Motorcycles was very high. And in 2009 as the World recession took its toll on most companies, the lack of retail and wholesale financing caused Ridley Motorcycle to close its doors.
