Title: Hello From Canada!
Post by: Canuck on Tuesday, 27 August 2019, 01:41 AM
Hi all:

Am hoping to track down a 14 that was sold in Portsmouth, England in 2004 - 2005, original owner Des Sherwood.

I have the plate number but wasn't sure if it was okay to post it.

Can anyone offer insight into where I might continue my search please?

Thank you.

Catherine

Hello from Scotland  :cheers:
You can search the members list but not everybody uses thier real name .
Other than that I'm sure that admin folk will say if it's ok to post a number plate .
Good luck with your search.
:cheers:

Hi from New Zealand!  I'm not able to assist in your search for a particular bike from 2004, however, @gsxbarmy would know how to approach this. Good luck with your search.

I remember Des, he worked in the boat industry, Pompey Pirate was the handle he went by, had a mesmerising spinning  green skull as his avatar,  met some Canadian wench iirc who was related to Gnome? No idea where his bike or he is tho

If you give me the registration number I can find out if the bike is still on the road or not

I have no problem if you wish to put a plate number up, as it will help if anyone recognises it on this forum.
