Just found out that my old 350LC on the DVLA site is on a SORN........Great.......thing is....... it was written off in 1983 after I had a serious arguement  with a car in North Wales. Reg is DAB 327W, anyone on here know of it or own it? I would be interested to know the history after I parted company with it (literally!). Cheers! Phil |

Most likely the log book was sold on and the numbers have been altered to suit. I crashed my old Z1A back in 1985 so bad that the frame had to be cut in half to remove the engine, the headstock was bent anyway and I took the remains to the local Council tip!
I sold the log book in MCN for about a fiver and the "bike" is still showing on the DVLC site every year so somebody's pride and joy has a re-stamped frame.
The bike wasn't an insurance write-off as such but was totally smashed to bits, the forks were ripped off, the front wheel ripped off, the tank came off, head on collision with a Morris Ital which was also in a bit of a mess!!
I don't think you could do that in this day and age.

I reckon I had that same fairing on my 350ypvs back in 86 and only just sold the fairing a year ago. Cannot remember the make though, was a good solid fairing.

It looks like a mead speed or Mel lemoto fairing, our local dealer back in the early 80's offered them along with the single seat colour matched for new bikes they sold

Skinny jeans, trainers and no jacket. And somehow I survived. Who needs health and safety! It appears the bike was written off after my ownership as disappeared off DVLA database. Shame would love it back.
