Hi, I’m new to New Plymouth and I’m looking for a good local place to get my bike serviced etc. I ride a Ducati. Does anyone have any recommendations?

I've been in New Plymouth for yonks and I'm in a similar position. The business I used is sadly no longer with us in the same form.

For a major service I took my Ducati to Hamilton, for minor things you might chat with Alan De Latour (Castrol Six Hour winner) he can tell you if he can do what you want. He talked sense when I spoke to him, and he's been doing it a long time.

I'm not yet in a position to recommend any of the others. Image on Eliot has a relationship with the former Ducati importer. I've bought things but never had a bike serviced there.

Might be worth talking to the boys on the Ducati Facebook page?
