Default Michigan dealer recommendations?

I am moving to Michigan, probably end up on the west side of Ann Arbor with a commute to Jackson. Since my '03 ST4S will be due for its 12,000 mile maintenance later this summer (which should include a valve adjustment) I am looking for a dealership recommendation.
Here's what the Ducati site tells me I have for options:
  • Life Cycle, Kalamazoo
  • Rosenau Powesports, Dearborn Heights
  • Section 8 Superbike, Commerce Township
  • TT Motorcycles, Clinton Township
Please give me your recommendations - or warnings.

I noticed Section 8 has Grattan reserved this year too. I had raced there back in the early to mid-80's and thought it was the most fun track out there of the WERA tracks back then. Is Grattan still a fun place to go?


Any must ride roads in the lower half of the lower peninsula I need to get to right away?

Section 8 has done right by me. Sorry no "tail of the dragon" in mi. but from west A2 explore the roads near Hell, Pinckney and the Waterloo area. Sounds like we are going to be neighbors so look me up when you get to town. Mike

Section 8 does great work. Roseneau is good to avoid.

Well, this is off topic of sorts, but if you ever come through Kansas City, Mario at Letko Ducati is great. He knows his stuff and won't gouge you with unnecessary repairs or service.
