good thread this one, now a year old - we should have a party!

My update since last year. Brought 18mth old S4RS from Ducati in manchester which they delivered cos local dealers (Parkies and Seastar couldn't match or didn't have 2nd hand).

Cos its still pretty new and under warranty went to Parkies for the big service couple months back. They were about £200 cheaper than Seastar when i asked them to quote. Know what you mean about Parkies being so laid back but if you don't mind that they can do the job cheaper and have previously always offered me good price on new bikes.

Though appreciate that anyone can service bike and theoretically not invalidate warranty, will stick with Parkies till runs out (got extended warranty chucked in with bike). As per my previous reply, soon as its out of warranty will be up to Carl Harrison as I've been using him one way or t'other for over a decade (!!!).
