It seems it is illegal to search for a vehicle that you no longer own?
I've used it to search for several old cars/bikes i once owned, not had smokey banging on my door yet :D

Here's mine:



Rickman fairing
Piper 4-1
550K3 seat + tank
Fiamm air horns
TT100s

I wonder where it is now?...  :)

Go here http://www.askmid.co.uk/ownvehicle/ put in the reg and see if it's insured, then you will know if it's still on the road at least

I couldn't remember where that was but now you mention Brands, I think it is...
True about the knees, but handy when it rained, I used to tuck my knees inside the fairing to keep them dry  :) Talking of Brands back then, you used to to be able to do a track day (afternoon) for

Steve, you are a cheeky young rapscallion  ;D

Welcome Bubbadel, I have nothing against shiny bikes as long as I don't have to ride them.  I just like mine to show the signs of aging.

Actually, I have a great deal of respect for the time and trouble people take over their machines.



No worries Florence, some of the bikes my mates have ridden make yours look like a restoration!
Rat bikes, you just have to love 'em :)

Loved this old bike, handled quite well too (better than the 750/4) Had rickman fairing and Dunstall tank/seat unit. the exhaust can i bought from Pride and Clark in Stockwell, it was a straight through short reverse cone megaphone...Made a great noise and fire at the back on overrun :) Police didn't like it too much but i never used to stop back then :o
This had to go when i got my 810

Other Bikes / Re: CB500t; has anyone here owned one?

I considered buying one back in 77, but got a 500/4 instead, i think i made the right decision..
