Hi Ston,i'm from Stoke-on-Trent,not too far away from you!
I always use JHP,Ducati Coventry for all my service & repair work,can't ever fault the work,but he's not cheap!!
If you're after meeting a few people for a ride,then why not pop down to Congleton for the DSC meet? It's the first Wednesday of the month,that's tonight if you fancy it! There is more info on the meeting/rideout section!
Might see you there?
