London Dealer of the Week Award goes to...

[JerryXt]

...make sure you're sitting down for this one

This weekend a Ducati dealer went way beyond the call of duty for me. Getting the track kit on the 748R ready for Brands, we 'noticed' a flood of petrol forming under the bike when it was running. Looking at the little rubber seals, one appeared to be damaged and was letting petrol past under pressure. Normally, not a problem - I'd just hop on another bike and pop down to my fave dealer, but this weekend we were taking the boys to see Stomp and were really short of time.

A bit desperate like, I phoned the only other guy I knew I could get to on Sunday. The Parts department had the bits but were closed Sunday, However, sales were open on Sunday and they were happy to leave the seals with the sales guys for me to pick up - payment sometime later (ok, they're £1.40, but even so...).

Popped in this morning to find the Ducati sales guy was out, but he'd left the parts on his desk and told the other sales people where they were.

A quick spin on the Monster (and a brief slapper) later, parts fitted and problem solved.

And the name of these paragons of helpfulness?


























Metropolis.

Yes, really!
