Hertfordshire Superbike Centre?

Has this place shut down? Anyone used them before? Am looking for somewhere local to me that can have a quick look at the bike.

It needs to go on a diagnostic tool as the engine light is now jammed on permanently, and the bike sounds abysmal.

AFAIK still going but probably shut for two weeks at xmas, I've met Simon who owns it, seemed a decent bloke.

Cheers thanks for that. It's either them or Metropolis Barnet I think...

According to Google Maps they're permanently closed.
I bought a bike from them once. Over the following couple of years it gradually became apparent that it had been bodged in several areas!

That's what I saw too, hence asking. Thanks for the info on your bike too, looks like it's Metropolis Barnet then...

Rossocorse ?

Thanks but that's too far away with the engine light on and a broken fuel light.

I think I'll stick with Metropolis Barnet for this one, thanks.

Rosso Corse is still where it was

Kato · 31-12-2016, 04:21 PM

Indeed the building is still located exactly where is always was but the staff are not....currently Rosso is being run by a fello who knows as much about Ducati's as my grannie's dog wouldn't trust him with a bicycle, that said he would still appear higher up my list than Metropolis, only my personal opinion

You are entitled to your opinion, mine is that I'll take my chances at Metropolis Barnet. Thanks and happy new year.

Ursa, would something like this be a good investment for you?

I have no idea if this particular one would be suitable for your bike... Maybe someone could comment?
