Ducati service agent in Palmerston North?

If one was to own a Ducati and live in PN, where would you go for service? After some ringing around it seems like none of the bigger shops in PN do Ducati.

Surely there is someone??

EDIT: Have just found someone on 30 Joseph Str in Central PN. Only a mobile number. Any knowledge re this one?

I have just been informed that he provides councelling for prospective Ducati owners before they purchase the bike...

Intrigued I am awaiting for an update after the session!

....Ah yes, Mr McDonald.......can be interesting, knows his stuff though.

Turns out the chap is an ex Ducati racer and what he does not know about Ducaties is not worth knowing. This sealed the purchase of the new bike for someone stepping up from a 250cc to a 400 Monster. He wanted to make sure that the bike he would service in the future was not one that had been butchered by "mechanics" who had no idea what they were doing.

Sweet!

Oh do play the game!
How about this, if you move to Palmy, I'll shout a beer/tea.coffee and look at your Ducati and be jealous. (Assuming it's not one of them girls ones)

If he says anything remotely along the lines of 'this'll be wheelie wheelie cool', it's time to leave.

The Duke will live in PN. And it is not mine, it is a girls... but she would be happy to drink your beer. ;-)
