No Looking Back Now

Discussion in 'Newbies Hangout' started by Martin Nathan, Apr 15, 2022.

  1. Hi all,

    Just getting my 2013 Diavel Strada on the road. I bought it just before the first Covid lockdown in 2020. It was, and is, a return to biking journey. Because of Covid it got wheeled into the shed and that's where it stayed until last week.

    The main dealer was due to collect the bike for an MOT and service - I broke the negative battery lead connector when re-installing the battery after a charge. Let's just say much muppetry has ensued on their behalf and I'm now looking for an excellent independent to carry out the service work. Any personal experiences/recommendations of specialist within a reasonable travelling distance of Chelmsford would be useful.

    Thanks.

  8. Welcome and enjoy
     
  9. Greetings!

    Please don't take Shakeys comment to heart. I'm sure (to someone) you are just as attractive as @Helen. Though it its worth mentioning that thread titles can increase readership/ replies. It seems that "Cherry popping" is a subject which many members enjoy...

  10. Welcome. It’s alright in here, a few odd balls. You MUST post o photo of your bins, whether they be wheelie or flip top, Ducbird has to see them before you gain entry.
     
  11. Main dealer near Maldon?

    After my own recent experience I’d find it difficult to use them again.

    Go to Glen at Moto V mate.

    I use an independent for Pat things now. But too far away for you.

    Welcome!
     
  12. Just put on a pair of women's hot pants for the day and that would confuse them.

    Welcome.
     
  13. I wonder how many miles are racked up each year pushing Ducatis around garages.
     
  14. @Jez900ie I don't think I'll be giving David Gandy a run for his money anytime soon! Thanks all for the welcome. Yes, it is the main dealer at Maldon that let me down. I'll be taking the advice given here and call Moto V next week.
