I have thought of using Woods the next time, I actually phoned them today to check the service price with them. I felt a bit guilty inquiring about the service as it already been done at FS. I dont like messing people about but I was that wound up by what was going on! I had a think about it and decided the next time I would book it in there get the girlfriend to follow me down in the car and have a night or two at Portmeirion and gain some brownie points of her!

I would have used Ducati Leeds but the wait was too long, which was partly my fault as I had got a quite early service date of them but then mentioned the dash unit needed replacing, they ordered the dash before easter but due to the extended holidays they take over there (Italy not Yorkshire) they realised it would not have arrived in time and bumped my service date right back another month or so. I would not have minded if the bike had been serviced with the faulty dash and then taken back for the new unit fitting whenever. But the girl phoned me to tell me what was going on and it was too late I had lost my slot! I am not really blaming them but if they had let me know I would have insisted on having the bike serviced on the original date.

The whole thing with Fylde Superbikes has been farcial! I dont normally get wound up by such things but I have had a pretty traumatic week with other much much more important matters (I will post about that later) because of this I probably will not be using the bike that much in the next few weeks anyway. I had dropped my car off for a service on Monday morning in Barton near Preston which is about half the way between where I live and Blackpool. On returning home by dinnertime Monday everything went mad and I really needed my car back and the easiest way was to take my bike in to blackpool for the service and get a taxi to Barton to collect my car as I really needed it back. Actually getting my bike serviced was really the last thing on my mind early last week. Sorry if this does not make sense but it will on reading my next post.

Cheers everybody

Martin
