Had my bike serviced at Dave Wood Racing in Aylesbury today - very impressed. Great facilitys, friendly and helpful people, and great job at a very reasonable price....

I know where my bike will go for any work in the future. If Dave and/or Mark should get to read this thanks guys from a very satisfied customer !

Now I wonder if a certain prominent person in this club managed to eat all the doughnuts, he was certainly making major inroads into them ;)

Cheers,

Pete

must have liked you..... mine came back from a 6000 mile service with a few points i wasnt happy about..... 1 was the fact that after my rad was removed to do the front valves my rad fans weren't connected back together. had i taken it into london the next day on a real hot day i would have run the risk of major damage....... also my ever so slight leak from under my fuel tank that was soooo slight i couldnt find it in over a year came back dripping fuel once every 5 secs from bad handling. i know many fav about him but i for one will not be going back...........

Thanks for that Pete that's nice to hear, i'll make the tea next time and yes your right fatbloke did eat all the donuts :)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

as for unhappy pete s4 yet again i can only appologise for failure to connect your radiator fan, that was my fault and was wrong. As for you entering with a leaking petrol tank and it leaking more once it had been disturbed...... NO **** Sherlock..... Knackered things tend to do that..... A new tank may be the answer.... as for not comming back you wont be missed

Fixing stuff without asking, working on my bike for 7 months without asking for a penny, listening to me change my mind on numerous occasions, working to midnight a couple of days running just so I could get to the Mallory Track Day aswell as taking it there for me, not trying to sell me stuff that I don't need (as if I need any help being sold stuff) and staying late to allow me to travel from my day job.

What can I say, a complete tosser - don't use him as he needs to work on my bike some more. In future, I'll book my bike into Ducati London South or Daytona two months in advance to get it serviced.

You have been warned

Dave Woods = top bloke!

Nice to see someone who can actually ride amazingly without having to tell the forum about it in every post.............................................. .
If i lived closer I'd be bringing both the ducati's to you - Do you do a collection service?

Or Would you be able todo a 12000 mile service in a day? If i came over?

I'll be needing it done in September time. On my 620 - 2 years old.

Cheers
Julie

If youve given up drinking, then you must have a good reason, so well done :D For me its 2 years on Jul 4th :o And smoking 1 year on the 11th July......if you really want to succeed with the smoking do the Allen Carr Easy Way....its almost miraculous.

Dave,

Thanks for servicing the monster twice over to get to the bottom of my starting problem. The 900 is running like a treat now thanks to the loan of FB's temperature sensor, and I'll give you a bell to find out what the replacement cost.

Missing the Gilera 180SP already, and busy hatching a plan to nobble the monster so I can wangle my next twist 'n' go fix. I'll make sure I have an "idiots guide to right foot gear changing" taped to my tank for the next time you take a test ride ;)

Oh the re-built clutch is a lot less rattly now too thanks :D

Those Gilera 180s are a right crack eh Gary !!!? Temp sensors are about £25 mate..

Sure are - goes like manure off a highly polished shovel around town. They quote a better 0-60 time than a Subaru Impreza (5 seconds) which I can vouch for having ridden it :twisted: Top fun, but things do get a bit hairy on M-ways at over 70mph, when the tiny wheels and basic suspension really kick in.

Hit a dead fox in the road on the way back up to DWR, after it appeared with f*** all warning from the arse end of a coach I was following. The scooter took off and felt like it lept about 2 foot in the air! - bit of a pampers moment :eek:
