If anyone needs repairs/service in the Las Vegas area I just want to share a quick story: I was changing the oil on the project monster 750 yesterday. The PO had tightened the drain sump and also the oil screen filter plug on the right side case so tightly the crush washers were badly deformed. Went up the street to cycle gear, went to Bellisimo-no washers to be had. Has not been a Ducati dealership here since Pat Clark Motorsports closed 4 or 5 years ago.
Called Mike, told him the problem, rode the 23 miles to his shop on the opposite end of the valley where he had 4 active projects going in various stages of repair plus a new multistrada 1200 outside the shop waiting for service for a customer. Mike stopped what he was doing, found some new washers and didn't want me to pay!!! (Left him $$$ for the beer fund anyway LoL)
Long story short, Mike Lancaster is a Stand Up Guy & he even gave me some advise about the ongoing little monster I am working on...
Now back to the shop to put some oil in it hahahaaa
