Rick Hackett is a Top Bloke -official!

I popped along to the DSC trackday event at Cadwell this morning just to see & hear some nice bikes & have a natter. Anyway, I approached the chaps manning the Ducati Coventry van who were fettling the suspension on a track bike. I asked one of the chaps (who turned out to be Rick) if he would give my bike's suspension a quick check. I explained I was a visitor rather than a trackday attendee but he said that was no problem. He spent about 40 mins making adjustments, explaining all the time what he was doing. He did it without any charge at all and wouldn't even accept a cuppa for his trouble. What a gent! His obvious enthusiasm and skill were a pleasure to experience.
