Last weekend, a mate (Stu) bought a bike from Ducati Manchester and has been really sold down the tubes. The bikes a 996 (I know) and he hiked all the way from Scotland for it. When he arrived the bike wasn't ready and lacked several items that were advertised as part of the deal. He was treated very badly by the staff and was shown a total lack of respect. Not the kind of welcome I promised he'd received into the Ducastisi world. As of today, Trading Standards are now involved and legal action may follow. Bottom line folks; is this a one-off or should he (me) been aware of DM. Any advice welcome, and you can contact Stu on www.stuprosser@msn.com

1st I've heard a peep about them for probs......
have you asked on Dun or DSc?

DuN might be worth trying, as that site caters for those up Norf

Just been reading about this on DuN as Gunny only posted up earlier this evening! - poor sod!

Seems D Manchester are not at all popular in that neck of the woods by several accounts

Not very good customer service has been my experience with DM, best advice would have been to go to Italsport in Bury, good guys and excellent service.

Might be worth chatting to Martyn (Two Dukes) as the Manchester DOCGB person he seems to know the DM guys well enough and may be able to help.
