    Hand over takings collections, which services?

    importing motorcycles from italy

    On topic we recently purchased a marvellous second hand Ducati Multistrada thanks to a dealer (www.sourcingitaly.com) who found it on a local newspaper, I can guarantee it drives beautifully and both throttle and brake are operated with the right hand! (just a bit cold to do that right nowo_O)
