Motorbike expert required (Ducati Monster 696) in Chamonix
 

Is there anybody out there who is Monster experienced who would check my 696 for road worthiness i.e. battery, brakes, etc.

Due to a non-biking accident 6 months ago, I was forced to abandon my bike in Les Houches, 5 miles from Chamonix, in a garage belonging to a client of a colleague. I would like to fly from Manchester to Geneva to collect it soon and ride it back but fear that I may not be able to get it started or that it may not be road worthy (it did have a full service before my 1,000 mi trip from Manchester to Chamonix last August 2016). If that is the case then it would be cheaper and better to arrange for a bike transporter to bring it back to the UK and have it checked here rather than pay through the nose to have it transported to Geneva and have Ducati Geneva check it out.

I'm not totally useless when it comes to bikes, but Ducati in the UK have 'brainwashed' me (?) into thinking that I would not be able to change the battery or have the mechanical expertise to check its roadworthiness before riding it back to Manchester safely.

Any assistance would be most appreciated....and rewarded :)
