Get real ! this isn't rocket science, these are relatively simple v-twin motorcycles, and most of the time we are talking about routine servicing, not race-tuning to the nth degree (where the talents of Mr. Hackett could possibly be justified).

This "I only trust so and so to work on my pride and joy" is just the kind of product snobbery that gets Ducati owners a bad name with other bike people.

What the F***!!!

Beanbloke, I really wish I was like you... you know, never been ripped off, never had to get home and re-do all the work yourself, never had a dealer break your bike and deny it or tell you a porkie to cover his cockup, or charge you £50+ an hour only to have the apprentice do your bike....

Mate, you find someone you can trust, usually by recommendation, then you stick with what works. What's it got to do with snobbery?
