What the hell ? Can some one explain to me what is going on up there ^?
I don't have the V5 you see, need to by a new one off the DVLA.

cCould it be ex army ?
Or would some one losing the V5 then getting a new one made like what I'm going to do but back in 91 make it say that ?

Do you know if the bike was imported back to the UK at some point?

That's usually the reason for a difference in dates.

[Jamie S]

haven't a clue pal

Draganfly Motorcycles can do an in depth research of the bikes history including finding out the first owner + extras that the bike left with for £9+vat so might get that done.

iirc during the 70's DVLA had a bit of a mess about and loads of vehicles lost their original registrations.

Maybe an older member can give some more info?

[Jamie S]

Wasn't there some sort of fire ?

It will be on either an age related or reclaimed number plate Jamie.
Look at the documents and it should say " None Transferable" in one of the boxes. A lot of us do not fuss over such trivia and just use the same number on all our bikes.

I haven't got any documents, hence why I'm asking.
