  2. you pick me up wrong boots. what i mean is some people dont appreciate the cost of running a business. in particular the motor/bike trade. it is true the biggest earners in the trade are the sales team.
    most people think i am rolling in it because i am always busy doing anything up to 80+hs a week. trust me i aint. i do from time to time sell the odd fiat or alfa and make good profit on them, but i am also offering the best warranty around, i aint risking a life time of customer business on a quick buck.

  8. i don't doubt for a minuit there are more dodgy dealers/mechanics tradesmen of all professions to be found than dishonest sheriffs b.t.w. but its customer perception of profits i is talking about.
    btw tea is for receivers of swollen goods. coffee breaks around here will deffo be my downfall. that and this forum.

  17. So how does a thread get closed?

    The purchase is now complete and I have picked the bike up today.

    Martin and Ducati Manchester have been exemplary in bringing the sale to a close and ensuring that I am a happy customer, and I've got to say that my face is aching right now I haven't smiled so much.

    Thank you Martin and DMC for selling me such a great bike! :upyeah:

    Is this thread closed now?
