This "I only trust so and so to work on my pride and joy" is just the kind of product snobbery that gets Ducati owners a bad name with other bike people. |
Mate, I don't know you from a bar of soap but no-one said anything of the sort. If you took a step back there are other people on here who use other places. I happen to use Cornerspeed for servicing etc even though he is over 150 miles from me. For lots of reasons:
1. Reasonably priced
2. He's a good bloke (this counts for a lot for me)
3. Gives a lot to members of the club in the way of free advice and helpful hints
4. Get to meet the majority of the Notts crew when you're up ther eand whoever else happens to be around
5. Goes out of his way, beyond the call, to help people out when they need it AND doesn't then try to take advantage of the situation
But thats my choice isn't it? Not for you to criticise. If you don't want to use him then don't.
I've also used Sigma Performance who is in Kent and the work Neil Spalding did transformed my bike. Would highly recommend him but it's horses for courses .. so use whoever you want.
