New Shop!

Hello all!

Big news- I am no longer at GP BIkes.

I have jumped at an opportunity with a new Performance shop just starting up in Ajax.
'GATOR Custom Auto & Performance' . I'll be a one man division within this big new shop, specializing in full Ducati service.

From minor service/maintenance, major Desmo service, engine rebuild/tuning, suspension tuning, trackday/race prep, ...you name it!

Same friendly, quality service I've been providing for the last 9 years, in a new dedicated, enthusiast owned Shop!

We're at 355 Bayly, two minutes from the Westney/401 exchange.
905-239-2886.

Looking forward seeing everyone!
Ciao!

Ken Livingstone.

All the best Ken, you did a great job with GPB and I have no doubt you will do the same at Gator!! Will they have an Expresso Bar at the new shop???

Hi Ken, Its Mark,
If I can get the pikes peak over to Gator, would you be able to transport it to the show.

Hi Ken,

I'll be calling you when I'm back on 2 wheels to install a full Termi on my bike.

Excellent!

FYI all: I have a dedicated diagnostic tool identical to the 'official' Ducati one so I can do all electronic work required. This expensive tool is courtesy a long-time customer and friend of mine. It's inspiring all the support I am getting from everyone. maybe I should have done this sooner?! ;)

Congrats, Ken! Sounds like a great opportunity!

Will the new shop have access to the full assortment of OEM Ducati performance parts?
