He's a decent bloke. Checked the valve clearance on one of my 800's, changed the belts and put a lighter flywheel in. Friendly, helpful and very reasonable labour rates. He'll be getting my business again.

Concour on this one.
He's done a few services on the T8SP4S. Very knowledgeable (Ex-BSB Ducati Mech Team 5-7 racing), extremely reasonable hourly rate.
No bother fixing kit that other service mech's have stuffed up.
Does the job properly, unlike some I can mention. I.E. actually reshimming the vertical cylinder.
And unlike some others, he shows you the bits that he's replaced and explains why.
Also supplies an itemsied list of parts with costs, again unlike some others.
Spends the time to do the job right. If it takes two days then that is what you get told and it won't be far short of the mark either.
Highly recommended.

Ains.
