Unless the current keeper comes forward.. the most you can find out is, Is it currently insured?

yes it is.

R100R

I remember my mate having a beautiful J reg purple R100R
his bike was so clean immaculate
then he sold it and it went to wales
about 5 years ago i came across it in a scrap yard nr bradford leaning against a wall with shite all over it rusty and unloved
i tried to buy it but the jelly head running the site decided it was going to be restored one ferkin day maybe in the year 2030
i pestered him every week offering him well over the odds for it
eventually i gave up but used to call regually and look at it over the wall
what a waste ! ! ! !
it's gone now probally been crushed
my mate still has the spare keys for it
bugger i'll get mi coat

Yeah, I wish I'd kept my DB32 Goldie too (109 YRF). It was a '59 model that had been rebuilt by a mechanic in one of the local bike shops for his own use. He'd had an accident and so he couldn't ride it any longer. I did a straight swap for a 1970 Suzuki Hustler Mk2 - ridiculous to the sublime. My Goldie had a concentric carb fitted (though I had the GP too) and an alloy Lyta tank and the Superleggera fork conversion; oh, and a twin leading shoe front brake. Can't remember the make of this, but it wasn't the common or garden BSA/Triumph type.

One of the many bikes I wish I'd kept. Still, I do have a very nice 54 Triumph Tiger 100 that lubricates my garage floor nicely.

You're not the only one.

I don't remember which of these two this happened to, but my Dad swapped either (a) his Brough Superior (albeit fitted with an Indian V-twin engine), or (b) his 1948 Land Rover, for a Black and Decker electric drill.

Admittedly, both of them were mostly rust, and hadn't run for about (a) 20 years or (b) 10 years. At least the drill worked.

New Section?

I reckon there are loads of us that wonder, I certainly do! Maybe its worth a new sub section in its own right? Kind of a a register where you put the reg numbers of the bikes you're interested in and if anyone knows its current "state" they can post.............just a thought?

I'd like to know if my first 1973 250 Honda OXG 23M is still around?

If that was a G5 (and the one my Dad had was "M" registered, so I think it must have been), then I'd guess if it's still around, its camshaft "bearings" will be well and truly shot by now.
