Right then - I think most folks know my prediliction for Rosso Corse nyway but here comes some more good news about the duo of Markus and Ray...

Let's face it, they've looked after me and the monster for a good few years - and yeah - I've spent a lot of cash on the beastie and they've been great.

Well - at the weekend I noticed a rather worrying lack of brake fluid, the sight glass in my reservoir finally had given in and was slowly but worryingly weeping fluid... Well - we got home fine and so today I had a spare few minutes and I called Ray to ask if they had a replacement. I turfed up mid afternoon and Ray stopped what he was doing, found me a replacement reservoir, ordered me two new ones (cos let's face it the clutch one will be bound to go the same way all too soon...) and then fitted the doodah and off I went - no charge. THANK YOU SO MUCH GUYS!!!! I didn't expect to get a freebie - and I know I spend shed loads on the bike but it was still a great gesture and much appreciated....All I need now is a Rosso Corse flag to fly off the back seat and a t shirt to wear at work so if anyone has a Ducati they know exactly where to go to make sure it's looked after.

So - if anyone in the london or sarf east needs anything for their monster, look no further....

Cheers guys - and see you soon no doubt.

Just had my 600 mile service done by Ray at Rosso and must admit both guys are top blokes. As i live about 15 miles away i had to wait around while Ray was servicing but he didn't mind me being there and showed me quite a few things that i should keep an eye on myself and how to adjust the odd bit here and there. I wont be going anywhere else and new cans are now on the agenda for Rosso to sort out for me.

Bike was running a bit lean but now fully run in i just had to take the rest of the day burning about Essex and ended up on the beach on Mersea Island reading my copy of the Long Way Round before bombing through the lanes back to Hornchurch in time for dinner. How nice to be able to really open her up now to see what she can do.

Hi Hum - glad you went to RC - they truly are top guys...Glad you're enjoying the bike too - they really are gorgeous and on days like today there's little better.

Ride safe and see you soon!

Ray and Marcus are top blokes. I had my first introduction to them at the beginning of this year. The throttle cable snapped, and the first place I tried was RC. Cables in stock, popped up to them on the Saturday, cables bought and Marcus (arm in sling at time) said "If you get stuck whilst changing them, give us a call and we'll talk you through it"

I'd just basically walked in off the street.

Monster went in not long later for belts, chain and sprockets (ask Ray about the state of the chain on my Monster!!!), brake pads and some other bodges from the previous owner sorted. Sat around for the morning, nicking the coffee and watched my bike get fixed.

And then the last time, last week. Fork seals and oil done, oil sight glass changed (Ray broke it!!), all done in the morning. Shame about the choice of music, but I'd rather sit and watch the bike get fixed than disappear for a couple of hours. I will end up spending money around the shops in London!!

Superb place to take your Ducati, and any comission should be coming my way soon

One or two mentions of Ray in their too.....

They tried to make me go to rehab but I said 'no, no, no'
Yes I've been black but when I come back you'll know know know
I ain't got the time and if my daddy thinks I'm fine
He's tried to make me go to rehab but I won't go go go

I'd rather be at home with ray
I aint got seventeen days
Coz there's nothing
There's nothing you can teach me
That I can't learn from mr hathaway

****ing hate the song personally but there are one or two words which could be interpreted as your monster going in for a service, or am I pissed and writing bollox.
