I'm just suggesting alternatives mate, or maybe that would only serve to prove that things aren't as you claim .. and you wouldn't want that would you ...

Am I Daz or Nelly, hell no, that would involve living north of Watford, get a grip man ... !!!

What have I claimed . . .

you need to get your facts straight!!!

All I said and still say is that £830 for a service is taking the p*ss + stealers are f*cking useless (in general terms) . . .

I am not out to PROOVE anything - LOL!!!

If you want to join the Nelly/JHP etc fan club - I am sure they will be delighted to take your money - but I for one refuse - they are not that good and as far as I am concerned - their customer service/knowledge is sh*te - except for a few specialist areas - I can do a better quality job myself.

Why do you think Nelly goes "out of his way" as you say - he is a business man first and foremost - he needs to make money - he aint a charity - thats for sure (£830!!! LOL).

nothing "general" about that mate....

so stop backtracking before you fall out of the patio doors and into the garden ...

hey guys, i have not posted this thread on here to upset any one ,but just to get an idea of what people are paying for there servicing ,,,ive heard nellys reputation and workman ship is second to none but that is not the problem.there is no way on this earth that i could ever afford the prices of main dealers being just a joe bloggs factoryworker and the reason why most people dont moan about the high prices of servicing at main dealers is because money is not a problem and have very good jobs and have there own business wich is all well and good

Duc Daz, i'd second that.

you'd be surprised the professional scope of the DSC with everything from warehouse oprators at Tescos, Postmen and factory worker like yourself all the way up to MD's and Lord rattler (ahem .. lol).

none of us take money lightly mate .. just look at the DD debate about the cost at Donington and the whole one race scandal .....

this is probably the tightest bike club on the net !!

keep aking your q's, and you'll keep getting answers mate ..... if i knew somewhere cheper i trusted and coukd get the same job done, i'd use them as well ...

good luck mate.

Wasn't there talk from Ducati of getting service costs and time down to a level of the jap 4. Allbeit with future models.

that would mean getting serviced 3 times eavery 12k rather than twice, as most Jap bikes run 4k intervals.

also IL4's are generally cheaper to maintain ....

I'm sure as the engines get more advanced we will see some change but on many of the legacy models we are stuck with what we have to work on ...

Serviceing costs are the biggest obstacle to people buying dukes and the factory are aware of it.
MDracing for me for the bits i am not happy doing.
