I have no gripes . . .
£830 for a service is taking the p*ss - no question.
Maybe its time to shake things up and start working together as members of this forum/club to help eachother save some money and gain some useful knowledge during Ducati ownership - thats what other clubs do. Workshops etc!!
MAYBE THEN DEALERS WOULD BE ABLE TO HOLD A GUN TO OUR HEADS WHEN SERVICE TIME COMES ALONG!!!!
It seems to me that certain dealers/service bods associated with Ducati think they have a monopoly - thats why they take the p*ss out of all of us. The hero worship and clique that goes on here does not help everyone else at all.
If you want to join the Nelly/JHP etc fan club - I am sure they will be delighted to take your money - but I for one refuse - they are not that good and as far as I am concerned - their customer service/knowledge is sh*te - except for a few specialist areas - I can do a better quality job myself.
Why do you think Nelly goes "out of his way" as you say - he is a business man first and foremost - he needs to make money - he aint a charity - thats for sure (£830!!! LOL).
The other thing is - if you only want people here to agree with everything that you say - you need to get real and come back to planet earth - you are dreaming buddy - it will NEVER happen.
Others may not say what they feel - but I would say that most agree with what has been said especially with this particular post!!!
Those FEW that have disagreed - I assume only to remain popular with the worshipers - seem only to be able to make personal attacks as to my abaility to service a bike - and they dont even know me - have never seen my bikes - more fool you!!!
I for one will continue to say what I think is right - thats what a public forum is all about - so if you dont like it - you know what you can do!!!
