It's out there somewhere. I sold it to a bloke in Cumbria who may well be dead now. Were there two brothers who both rode BMs? Active in MCC trials 20 years ago? Come on Internet, that's more than enough info.

Write to the bloke in Cumbria or knock on the door or get someone on here to knock on the door, may open up a trail.

I wonder if I could become a bike detective... tracking down machines for customers that now wish they'd never treated them so harshly and belated realise that their 2 wheeled fling of 30 years ago was the most lasting and meaningful motoring relationship of their life.

Like York's answer to Phillip Marlowe I could spend my days wandering amid the low-life debris at the rough side of town, where old machines go to be stripped, to quarries where they are ill-treated and even to far-away cities, where strange speaking people take them to buy Guinness, Leeks or Haggis.

Or I could use the DVLA website

And if we don't find A45KWR, I've found (on my drive) an almost lookalike who could dress the same (in tank-strap and panniers) and reignite that old fire.

How do you use the DVLA web site to track down a vehicle then? Enlighten me.

You can't. I tried that a few years back, even went to extent of trying to persuade them to pass a letter on to owner with my concerns over a potential safety issue but they didn't buy into that. If you do have a name and address of a subsequent owner that's your best bet to get on the trail especially if they are in a low population area as they will be remembered by current old neighbours or new house owner etc and you might get the next address and so on. Or if still there they might remember who the next owner was etc.

It might look quite nice parked between the other two...
