Darryl - could also try WM Snell at Alton.

Bit further for you, as they are off the A31, but quite a few Londoners use them, as they are on the mainline railway (200yds walk from shop!) and its a nice ride there.
Good old fashioned family outfit with great courtesy & service

Also should save yourself about £200 or so on the price!

Post Snell's

Brought both my monsters from DLC. Always found Martin to be very helpful. But it's like most things you buy ~ you ring around and get figures then you've got something to work on them with. Both mine were financed so I was looking at costs to change and APRs and he always did well here.

BUT I got the S4R serviced at Snell's after looking at threads on here. They were much cheaper and took time to talk through the job with you. There's also something reassuring when the bloke booking you in turns to the bloke next to him and calls him dad.

Do think that Ducati need a London presence though. Harley can manage it so why not Ducati?

Yeah, but there is a surplus of accountants and insurance brokers in London...

What a shame, that's 4 I've heard of gone this month!

AND, a BMW car dealer in London, the congestion charge is costing everyone too much too, and they're losing business big time, as it costs them money to customers just for the garage to keep their car until customer can pick it up too, now it's gone to £8.00 a visit, and I heard it was costing them crazy money a month to keep their business ticking over before they've earnt anything!

Very sad times... Bad recession...

Bikes on Trains

Thanks for the Service advice.

Charlotte, sorry but I will probably give ProTwins (cheers JMo) a try, as they're a tad closer to London. Besides the last time I went on a mainline train they wouldn't let me take the bike on during the rush-hour!

I don't think a recession is to blame, it's that thieving, commy firkwit Livingstone! I vote that he's the first one up against the wall, followed by that asswipe Nanny Blair. Both barrels I say...

I was in Ducati London Central not to long ago Friday 30th Sep. and there were fewer bikes then usual, that is the only thing I have noticed when I walked in.

Is that it for Ducati London (although they where very bad they where in London and that was handy)....
