  1. Hi

    a quick hello as I have just moved to the UK and London...
    And I though that this forum would be a great way to start embracing this new UK experience!

    I ride a beautiful 2003 red Monster 1000 sIE... with Dutch plates still.

    I am actually looking for a London Ducati workshop to fit a UK headlamp (lighting the ''right'' side of the road) and do a MOT for a reasonable price, so I can register her in the UK.
    Not too expensive preferably, and with the potential to do the regular maintenance: i'd rather avoid an official dealer, been to Metropolis motorcycles and crossing the door was enough as an experience...

    Cheers

    Sacha
     
  2. Depends where you live in this big city, but if it is south west then David Robinson MCs is a good place, 360 Old York Rd, London SW18 1SS 020 8871 0503.
     
  3. Hi and welcome!
    Called into MD Racing in Kingston on Thames last week. They seem like a decent bunch.
     
  4. Hi and welcome,
    I don't think motorcycle headlights are 'angled' like those on a car.
     
  5. I think it is Walton on Thames KT12 2EQ. Mike Dawson is an ex 848 Trioptions racer and Hodgson mechanic. His mate Clint is a suspension guru. They are currently setting up my 848 race bike.
