Basically, I'm just being nosy
« on: March 22, 2014, 23:14:00 »
Went to a local bike shop today and noticed that they had two orange wee's in stock. Then I spotted the forum sticker on one and was just feeling curious as to know who's it was. Both pictures below are of the same bike.




Whilst doing my amateur detective work I think the second bike, which is only just in shot on the first pic is daveat's old bike. His ad didn't show the full reg but the bit that you can see from his ad matches, as does the spec list. I wish I'd photoed the other reg plate now!

None of this matters, but as the title says, I'm just being nosy!!

OV is an Oxfordshire plate and the dealer on the plates is in Kidlington, if that's any help. Looking at your location it would seem to have travelled.

They do seem to travel around a fair bit. I forgot to mention but this is where I bought my bike from and mine had come from Ayrshire via a shop in Renfrew!
