I got the letter today and think its a real shame as I was very impressed by them and the whole set-up. I even bought a jacket on the spur of the moment when I took my bike in 3 wks ago. I wish my local dealer(s) offered that level of service (I live near Oxford). Now where will I take the bike, Snells?
All the Diavels, 3 Panigale + 1 Tricolore, Streetfighter S ( grey & red, wow !! ) and a few Monsters. Didn't see any Multi's or Hyper but not looking to be honest. Had SF 848 and Diavel CR ex demo outside. Spoke to a very pleasant chap and the young lady was very helpful, great shame and a nice ride out along the A6003 A dealer told me once they make 10% on Ducati new bikes, not bad on a £23k Panigale but not much on a Monster 696 and we all expect a little bit of a discount...
If you think about it, to run a dealership if bikes sales is what you rely on, even 10% isnt going to keep your family in leather a long time, what with staff, buidling overhead, cost of sales, goodwill, etc etc. Snells is worth the journey imho
Thanks for the heads up Ms Boop called them yesterday and got a cracking deal on a leather jacket ......... just hope (a) it turns up and (b) the bugger fits
eat ! plus those Italian sizes are all over the shop - a medium Italian does not equal a medium British person
I live about 10 miles from Uppinghamand have had Ducati's since '89 and during this time i have used G Tec Perfomance of Stoke Albany nr Market Harborough Leics/Northants border, but of course, you already know about them ,dont you?
If you're Oxford way and have travelled to Uppingham I'd recommend Forza Italia at Silverstone circuit. As my bike is in still in warranty I was going to use Forza once the bike's out of warranty. Now there isn't a close Ducati dealer I'll use them a bit sooner! Used to use them when I had a 748. Great service. Martin the owner and Ian the mechanic.
