I'll get the reg no for ya.... so I did & two minutes later he's got a printout with all the details for this bike.....
... Reg No... previous owners, date first registered everything..... fuuuucking hell....

Re: Geoff's 1VJ Tenere rebuild ...
Possibly hpi d it..which is something I'm sure the dvla could have told you to do or done?...
From my experience the dvla are complete fucking wankers that are only interested making a profit out of anything they can,sorn bollocks,continuous insrurance shite,quite happy to sell your address details to pikeys from the registration number of your van,who can them roll around anytime they like to steal motocross bikes..pikeys roll up at track,right down a few reg numbers and a think for about £3.50 if they tell them vehicles blocking driveway and hey presto they have address details...
Allegedly there's an I phone app which you can punch in the reg no. And vehicle particulars come up...I.e diesel and model...from this the pikeys decide whether to find out where it parks and come and steal the cat from it...friend of mine lost a Mercedes sprinter one recently,whole affair from Mercedes 2000 grand plus vat inc the 2 sensors...or shithead pikeys selling them for 300 quid on ebay...

Geoff's 1VJ Tenere rebuild ...
My yammie dealer tried to hpi the bike & got nothing. The last time I spoke to DVLA the girl I was speaking to said she could see my registration number on her screen but it was more than her job was worth to tell me it!!! Even though I had the previous owners name & address frame & engine numbers, etc, etc... It's pathetic
