Of course the exchange of information is a free and charitable activity, but unfortunately paying the bills for the website hosting charges and bandwidth useage for the club message board isn't ... this board wouldn't exist to provide that means to exchange information without the club's paying members!

I don't know anything about Parkinsons re-opening, but I do know about another official Ducati franchise opening up in Essex, which will be both service and sales accredited.

My only questions are about what is going to happen with all the people who are owed money from the old Ron Parkinson motorcycles, and how they feel about the new Parkinson motorcycles (and it's obvious links) opening up so soon.

From the website it looks like it will be in Colchester rather than more central in Essex, so I doubt it will change the rideout meeting place unless the Essex members suggest otherwise.
