Servicing - West Yorks
The bike is now due for it's 3 year/12000 mile service. Does anyone have any recommendations for an independent in the West Yorks area?

Have seen Carl ward's (Leeds) ad in MCN, anybody used him?

Ducati Leeds price seems somewhat excessive!

Nelly is only 40 odd miles South of Leeds.

8 out of 10 Ducati's said they preferred Cornerspeed

I'll second that...My bike is a Parallell import...I had my duke serviced by cornerspeed forfeiting the warranty...stuff the warranty!...It's the customer service, and trust that is more important.
Alot of people on here won't take their bike anywhere else!

???Right Nelly, where's my tenner.:P

Had my bike their as well, but I am still lacking Cornerspeed! Mind you, it was cheap!

Seriously, though, strongly recommend a visit to Neil's excellent shop!

I'll second and third that. I had a 6000 mile service at Cornerspeed yesterday after they were recommended by members and wouldn't now go anywhere else, even made the trip from London!

Nelly at Cornerspeed no question. It really ought to be law by now. Nobody else compares. IMMSC he will even collect/deliver your baby! Everyone else simply pales by comparison.

That OK Nelly? Send your cheque to the normal address...........

Nelly at cornerspeed,picked mine up today after he serviced it,running great now it's got the right plugs fitted(a certain north west ducati located not far from Manchester had fitted the wrong plug in one cylinder and didn't change the other one!!).Only sour note(nothing to do with nelly)think i got speed camera'd in Leek on the way home(license has only been clean for a week!!)
260 mile round trip for me,worth it.

Sod Neil and his service, the butty shop round the corner does excellent bacon butties, well cheap and they call you "Duck"

Ever since i got mine serviced at Cornerspeed i've had naked ladeez throwing themselves at the bike, must be the 15/50 Old Spice that Neil used

Everyone around there and into Derbyshire and Cheshire calls you "duck"(very pleasant and much better than,"hey ********"),me missus was well impressed on Tuesday when we took the bike across to Nelly's(she paid for my petrol on the way!but i had to pay for the car's on the way home!!)
