Ducati John in Leeds. Top service

29-09-2004, 06:52 PM

Just got back from John's place in Leeds.
first class service. Highly recomended. Even rescued me from the motorway, after i ran out of petrol !
Note to Chappers and Pete: i thought it was sorted, but that leaking tank sensor is still bugging me... and it looks like i also have knocked the gauge sensor out ... !

Ducati John? Who's he? Where is he? I live in Leeds & currently go to Cobb & Jagger in Shipley. They're very helpfull & do a great job & all that, but quite frankly, having to travel through the outskirts of Bradford to get there is not something I care to do on a regular basis

Plus it's a pain in the arse getting to & from, whilst they're taking care of my beloved. Do you have his number/address?

sure, just find his name in the members book and go to his website.
I live in meanwood, but work in shipley, 300yrds from cobbs. but if you are after top service at discount price, john is your man.
I got a good second hand disk, new pads, disk bolts, can of brake cleaner, and rescue from motorway including Â£5 worth of petrol for less than Â£95 all fitted while i watched.
eventhough john is in Rothwell and i have the ducati shop at hand, i'd still rather make the journey... maybe if cobbs let me in the workshop, got me a coffee while i watched and chatted with the mechanics, it would be different..

Had a look in the members section, there's no one called 'Ducati John' & there's about 200 other 'Johns' to sift through!! Sorry to be so lazy (I am a man), but if you could let me know which of the 200 he is, that would be perfect

Cheers

Absolutely

My best mate, & ex girfriend, used to live in the end semi, just next to the painted roundabout. Parkside Road, I think?

You know where I mean...

Next time I go for a spin, I'll ride past, don't know which house you are, but believe me, you'll hear me coming

Flag me down. I'll show you mine if you show me yours

30-09-2004, 04:32 PM

i'll keep my hears opened, but if i dont hear u, txt on 07747482583!
i see where you mean. I am a quarter of a mile from there, towards the ring road/bay horse/myrtle, on the holmwoods..

I have a good friend on the quarry, in alwoodley !

30-09-2004, 05:09 PM

The Quarry, that's proper Alwoodley, I barely scrape in

Nursery Lane, if you know it.

Anyway, back to the point of the thread, I'll give John a call next time I need a little something. Thanks for the tip.

Another Monster in Leeds!

Stef's in Meanwood, I'm in Alwoodley, where are you? We'll have to get together sometime & go out for a spin, or at least show some mutual appreciation for each others Dukes.
