Rosso Corse

I had the pleasure to visit this establishment yesterday to meet Max.
From my observation I concluded that I would have no hesitation in taking my bike there. Ray knows his stuff.

I only found out today that Ray is the nephew of the legendary Ray Petty of Manx Norton fame.

Ray Petty was a great inspiration to me back in the day, it was from him I learned that a firm grasp of fundamentals and first principles was required.

Ray (Jnr), obviously has the genes of his uncle.

Yep, great place. First recommended to me by Bex.

Both Ray and Marcus know their stuff and I too would probably not go elsewhere. They fitted my Termi's and recently did my brake pads.

Out of my 800 or so posts, I recon 10% are praising this place.

Nice blokes, and they love their bikes which always helps!

Had a service at Rosso recently. Best place to go really, especially after I had some bad experiences with other places. It's like seeing a light at the end of the tunnel after loosing hope in decent mechanics.
Friendly atmosphere, Ray and Marcus are honest, approachable and most importantly, they know what they're doing. Bike feels like new again. Thanks guys

+1 for Ray et al at Rosso

picked the bike up today and i'm sure they've given me someone elses back instead of mine. new brakes, tune up, fixed exhaust, new bearings and a few other bits and it is honestly the best it's ever been

Pulled in to meet Ray for the first time yesterday.

seems a top bloke, he is replacing/spraying a new engine case for me aswell as respraying my belly-pan.

he also noticed a few "niggly" areas on the bike, said he would look at, small patches on handle bars etc!

also going to do oil and air filter....seems i have given the bike to someone in the know

I'd be really interested to know how much the engine casing respray costs. i suppose that would be taking the whole bike there and let Ray take the engine out, spray and refit?
