Phil,
just out of interest are there any decent Ducati dealers/mechanics around Luton? I used to go to Wheels International In Hockliffe but it's no longer there and a mate of mine uses the dirt bike centre in Dunstable when he needs bits for his Aprilia. Wondered if there was anyone else around you'd recommend? I've tried Flitwick Motorcycles once or twice but they never seem all that helpful.
Cheers,
A.

Hi M8

No sorry there is not....i dont use anyone local......i have tried a few and they are not the best.....

I make the long trek to Nelly at Cornerspeed..........he has always looked after my 748r and has a spotless reputation amongst the DSC crowd, with many people travelling long distances to get work done.

Nelly can also order you bits in and is very quick at turning them round.

HTH

You should join in on a BHC run ..... we have regular meets in the summer...

Cheers

Search on the website Phil - I'm pretty sure there were a few threads wrt exhaust fabrication.

I second what Fil says. I bought one of my bikes from Wheels, had it serviced once at St Neots M/Cycles (a Ducati dealer) and had it MOT'd a couple of times at Flitwick M/Cycles, where all they seem to do is moan about "bloody Ducatis".

I haven't been to see Nelly for a while cos I've done my own minor service on the ST (oil, belts, bearings, brakes etc), but my T8 will be going up to Neils for the next service due on that - despite only being a mile and a half away from Flitwick

Fil, for exhaust fabrication it would be worth trying Predator in Hatfield-they will make anything. They need the bike to make sure things fit but they are good fabricators.
