if alive i wonder if its still got the original rear grabrail with a tarmack scrape through the top left where it had been down before i owned it!...ive still got the original purple tail unit which i changed because of minor scratches from the same spill..i payed£49 i think from harvey owens walworth SE1...funny thing is the original looks very good now really up on the shelf!.

nothing on the DVLA enquiry, think its dead and buried or rusting away in someones back yard,lockup,garage.

.[/quote]thanks frosty ...sad though as i thought a club member would hopefully own it and i could check it out.

It still might pop up again - some bikes spend ages waiting to be fixed/restored.

Roger's Damien 666 spent the best part of the 90s as a bench support in a friend's garage

Reminds me - Robh1f - how's the H1A restoration coming along ?
Must be nearly there now - you've been working on it for 30 years !

Mr Joy!!!! H1a is still tucked up in mummies garage ........ but the 70 resto is going strong in fact ordered handlebars from RBs tonight!!! See u 4 beer soon Bobby
