Just got back from John's place in Leeds.
first class service. Highly recomended. Even rescued me from the motorway, after i ran out of petrol !
Note to Chappers and Pete: i thought it was sorted, but that leaking tank sensor is still bugging me... and it looks like i also have knocked the gauge sensor out ... !

Ducati John? Who's he? Where is he? I live in Leeds & currently go to Cobb & Jagger in Shipley. They're very helpfull & do a great job & all that, but quite frankly, having to travel through the outskirts of Bradford to get there is not something I care to do on a regular basis :D Plus it's a pain in the arse getting to & from, whilst they're taking care of my beloved. Do you have his number/address?

sure, just find his name in the members book and go to his website.
I live in meanwood, but work in shipley, 300yrds from cobbs. but if you are after top service at discount price, john is your man.
I got a good second hand disk, new pads, disk bolts, can of brake cleaner, and rescue from motorway including £5 worth of petrol for less than £95 all fitted while i watched.
eventhough john is in Rothwell and i have the ducati shop at hand, i'd still rather make the journey... maybe if cobbs let me in the workshop, got me a coffee while i watched and chatted with the mechanics, it would be different..

Had a look in the members section, there's no one called 'Ducati John' & there's about 200 other 'Johns' to sift through!! Sorry to be so lazy (I am a man), but if you could let me know which of the 200 he is, that would be perfect :)

Cheers

Absolutely :) My best mate, & ex girfriend, used to live in the end semi, just next to the painted roundabout. Parkside Road, I think? :confused: You know where I mean...

Next time I go for a spin, I'll ride past, don't know which house you are, but believe me, you'll hear me coming :D :D Flag me down. I'll show you mine if you show me yours :eek: :D

The Quarry, that's proper Alwoodley, I barely scrape in :( Nursery Lane, if you know it.

Anyway, back to the point of the thread, I'll give John a call next time I need a little something. Thanks for the tip.

You're right, not many Monsters around Leeds at all, at least I've not seen many. I did see a red one on Scotthall Road a month or two back (maybe it was you :D ) I was in my car stuck in traffic coming home from work 'Why', I thought? :mad: I had a 2 wheel machine at home in the garage, to carve through all this s**te!!

Won't be out this weekend, I'm getting pissed in Liverpool, & carrying out tail chop the weekend after :confused: although that will be postponed if the weather's ok.

I'll send you a pm next time I'm off for a spin. I've got Stef's number, so we can get him out too. . ."The Three Amigo's" :cool: :D :burnout:

Yep, let me know hammy and I'll try and get out for spin.

Stef, hopefully we'll still get some good biking weather before this year is out, not been the best year has it? As it gets colder I tend to just wait for the sunnier weekend days, but I do try and get every few weeks, I'd find it hard not riding for a few months!
