Cornerspeed worth it?
 

...Oh, yes.
Rode to Kirkby-In-Ashby from London on Monday to drop my pride and joy off with Nelly for her 12000 mile service.
Got a bus to Nottingham, then a train back to London, underground, then bus it from the tube station home.
Fast forward to Friday; overland train to Liverpool St. station but it's shut because of an 'incident'. Taxi to St.Pancras, then BR to Nottingham, cab to Kirkby-In-Ashby.
Before long some of the DSC'ers turn up for a chat and a coffee, and it's great to be able to put some faces to names! The bike is perfect after Nelly's service and even the trip down the M1 feels brilliant!
Neil is a true craftsman - loves his work and treats your bike like it was his own, and knows Dukes inside out.
People are sometimes surprised that I travel so far to get work done on my 996, and if I had a jap bike I would probably leave it in the care of my local dealer. But it's not a jap bike. It's a Ducati and it's special, and nobody but Nelly is touching my bike even if it means taxis, trains and sore feet.
Worth it? you know it makes sense..

Bus to Nottingham? There's a train station 5 mins walk from Cornerspeed.
Sounds pretty much like my experience last service... train from Havant to Waterloo, tube to St Pancras, train to Nottingham, train to Kirkby after waiting for the driver to get out of bed!

Ride home for 200 miles and feel like I'm on a new bike.

I'm lucky, i only live five minutes away from him. Blooming glad i do though.

Nelly is a true superstar.

He is so good he could almost be a Sunderland supporter;)

Actually thinking about it he's a miserable git as he keeps offering me coffee or tea and i don't drink either:(
Must be a newcastle supporter, anti social bleeder, but his works not bad so i may forgive him;)
