Bike Shed Visits: Ray Petty Meccanica - Ducati Specialist
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
With over 40 years of motorcycling under his belt and 30 of those specifically Ducati's, you'd be hard pushed to find someone more passionate and knowledgable about Italian bikes than Ray.
CameraDan took an afternoon and headed to Greenwich, London find out a bit more about him and have a poke around what's currently on the benches at Ray Petty Meccanica.
Ray is also half of Death Machines of London, which have turned out some of the most head turning builds to exhibit at the Bike Shed London Shows and beyond.
Visit raypettymeccanica.com for more info.
Here's the link to the DMOL: Airforce video:
• Airforce by Death Mach...
And some scribings on the website from Ross about it too:

I've been for my mot next to that shop, just wondered around and the guy showed me all these bikes with some history. He basically stopped his work to show me around. Very nice gizzer
That was great...a wealth of knowledge and a real passion for bikes. Cheers, Steve
Nice to see a Bike Shed video that hasn't been sprinkled in 'hipster' dust.
It’s so great to see places like this with a lifetime of knowledge exist 👍🏻
That was quite a treat! Thanks!
The kind of video you see and think about. Passion at work!
Great guys and great garage! London’s finest!
This guy is cool as dry ice. Awesome shop. Awesome person, awesome bikes.
what a cool garage to see/have on your doorstep! 👍
Fantastic shop the only place to go for all things Ducati but that Multi Strada in for a service is a great advert for not buying a Ducati.
Great video by the way gave thumbs up thanks Shane 🇬🇧
look like a very passionate rider ! very nice story & shop
so good ! thank you!
What a place. I'm guessing what Ray don't know about Ducatis, ain't worth knowing 👍👌
First bike was a Ducati 200cc Elite in 1962, I'm still riding. Really nice shop.
Cool place. Mucho knowledge for the young guys to soak up...
Good job guys :)
Didn’t realise Max was riding the tracker at Malle Mile. We saw the bike parked up and my son spotted the DMOL logo straight away. Hope the racing went well!
10 hrs for a belt change is just one of many reasons why i dont like nor will ever own a 4V water cooled Ducati. 2V air cooled forever.

Do the new V4s have belts?

minatormyth no idea Don't think so.
The dirt tracker is beautiful
Loved this video, love looking at the place as I go in/out of the A2, anyone know anywhere local that does basic bike mechanics courses?
I’ll stick with a basic air coolest monster then.....! Had the chance of a MHR back in 86 for 2.5k oh my why oh why didn’t I use a crystal ball!!
awesome video and info , hope you invest in your video guy and get a stabilizer for that camera ..
My son changed the belts on his Ducati monster 696 and hasn’t much mechanical knowledge, and said it was a piece of piss , about an hr and half it took him , don’t think he touched the valves or shims just the two belts cheers Shane uk 🇬🇧
Cool shop, love he is only focused on Italian bikes

Needs more focus than Japanese bike to fix them thats true...
I live in Northern Ireland, my friend has a Ducati Diaval, we only have one Ducati dealer in the province in Ballymoney, well, my friend left it in for a service and got the clutch fluid changed,he was charged £600 +vat. When he got home he had a look around the bike and check it over. Much to his dismay, he found that the mechanic had re- used the old clutch fluid , it was gray and cloudy. I told him to go back and complain, but he wouldn't. Is this common practice now, or was it a one off, I really don't know, but at £600+vat, it's a lot to swallow. What do you think about this as a Ducati dealer.

Mikey mike trading standards required. My guess is they don’t know what they are doing
Why does this channel have so few likes?
how is to own a ducati scrambler,?
any relation to ray petty who used to build manx norton's.
Nice Rolex youve got
Christ! Van Damme looks rough as fuck.
Ducati looks great but you spend so much keeping them running it's not worth it
The only motorcycle that you can buy broken for the factory... No wait a minute....aprilia...vespa etc
I'm the 666th like ;D
