Title: Another reg Kirby honda?
Post by: Woodside on March 02, 2014, 12:13:13 PM

Whilst looking for some spares in my garage I dug out the old reg for what must be the bike Broken for all my spares (500/4)

The reg is not found on the dvla so I figure it was taken out if circulation years ago

Reg is MTW #22P

And is on a plate with
"ANOTHER REG KIRBY HONDA"

Printed across the bottom...

Does this mean anything to anyone?
Or of any use???

I bought my second Honda CB500/4 (brand new) from Reg Kirby Motorcycles (in Stanford Le Hope in Essex) back in 1975.......

The first one, bought second hand, I got from Tom Kirby motorcycles in Romford, also in Essex.

I never did know if they were related.........
