Anybody Know What Happened to Amol Cycle?

I called Amol Cycle in Dumont, NJ to schedule some service work and it seems that the number has been disconnected
Have they gone out of business?
Amol was one of the first BMW motorcycle dealers in the America, but gave up their franchise a number of years ago because they would not (or could not) make the financial commitment that BMW corporate required in order to sell BMW Motorcycles and accessories in an "appropriate environment"
Although Amol gave up their franchise, they still sold BMW parts and performed repairs on BMW bikes. Their mechanics were talented, and I can only hope that they are not gone for good.
If Amol is closed that leaves BMW Manhattan as the closest location for parts and service and I don't want to have to ride into Manhattan to get my bike worked on.
It seems to me that there is a bigger fundamental issue with BMW Motorcycles and their dealers
I purchased my 1999 K1200 RS from Westchester BMW, unfortunately they closed their doors
Rich Santoro, formerly the service manager at Westchester BMW set up an independent repair shop called Beemer Cycles, a place where you could take your BMW motorcycle for competent service and repair without having to pay the dealership rates, unfortunately they closed their doors
Garden State BMW - Not too far from my house, unfortunately they closed their doors

Why can't BMW Motorcycles maintain a presence in Northern New Jersey, a huge market for their product?

Anybody know of an independent motorcycle repair shop in the NY Metro Area that is competent enough to work on BMW's
