Downside is that (when I last looked) locally the nearest dealer is the other side of Annecy. They were particularly unhelpful when I contacted them by phone and emailJody wrote: ↑Mon Aug 28, 2023 2:17 pmI had work done on my KTM here at the dealership. Not because I wanted the dealership to work on the bike, but because I wanted to build a relationship with them after UK dealer were no help with CoC. My CoC arrived at my local dealer last week.!!

But, at least the guy there gave me more info on how to maybe get help from Ducati Italy for a change. I've been met will a total lack of help or communication from them and the French dealers here each time I've tried previously. Here's hoping that this time things might go better
I'm planning to ask some friend in Grenoble if they know a more friendly one over there. At least I could stay the night for each visit!
The Ducati process seems particularly drawn out - visit dealer with bike for it to be checked; wait for response from Ducati Italy; back to dealer with bike; hope that all goes well so that Italy will send a CoC!!
But, gonna have to do that - unless I can actually speak to someone at DREAL (VOSA) and circumvent the need for a CoC with a check at DREAL instead (not sure that's even possible!)
Believe me, had anyone been remotely positive/helpful, I'd have the CoC by now!! But I have tried three dealers and gave up!
Have had a reply from Italy and they just say go to the dealer
So, will try and find one near Grenoble, not least so my mate can come with me to be a male 'in charge' for the poor little woman (since the French are remarkably more helpful to men than women in a lot of situations!!!)
