Service/repairs

Any recommendations for someone reputable !! within 25 miles or so of Bolton to service my 620 and carry out minor repairs -- I don`t have the time or technical skills to tackle this. They must have a passion for , or comprehensive knowledge of Ducati`s.

Hi Andy,

You could try ITALSPORT in Bury 0161 797 6124, or there's Manchester Ducati in, er, Knutsford of all places 01925 753958.

I'm not too sure of the 'state' of Italsport as they had a fire on the premises there last year. And as for Manchester/Knutford Ducati, it's a nice run out from here (Horwich) and takes about half an hour.

Ducati Leeds usually do free collection for servicing during winter within 50 mile radius, maybe worth a call 01274 591620.

Thanks to you who are in the know . The last time I was at italsport the man Roy was puffing at a cigar whilst taking a stroll through the workshop. No connection with the fire though??? I will give him a try but Ducati Leeds sound like they have good deals. Are they the same lot from Shipley who sold Guzzi`s ? Talking of which .................... I won`t bore the socks off you with tales of the `70`s on Guzzi`s , Laverda`s Dukes............ yawn .......but...........
