Newbie from Berkshire

Hi All,

Newbie here from Windsor area in Berkshire, I guess you would call me a "back to biking biker". I have been riding Japanese bikes since the age of 16 and then in my 30's sold my last Jap bike (ZZR1100). Now 10 years later I have the itch and have seen the light with my first Ducati. Clearly my Monster doesn't have the speed of my last bike but it more than makes up for it in the grin factor and I can't stop myself smiling when I'm riding my Monster.

Looking forward to some rideouts with other Monster owners and a newbie question, can anyone recommend Ducati servicing in the Berks/Bucks area? (or who to avoid)
Apologies if that has been asked many times already!

Cheers
Andy

Welcome Andy.

Speed is no substitute for that big grin of which you speak, and which we know so well.

Cheers
