Want to find "Alan" who built my bike

Post by Styler4077 »

Looking to make contact with the guy who built my bike.
It the VFR-VTR-CBR hybrid sold to me last month by Rugbyboy.
All I have to go on is he's called Alan, as posted on this forum.
A search returns well over 2000 results.
Can anyone help with any details?

Cheers

There seems to be an e-mail address on his membership. Might be current.

:lol: :lol: :lol:

But it's the wrong Alan, I left a message on a mobile and Alan rang me back today.
Good news is he is well now and still on a V Twin abet a KTM RC8
Bad news is that three years ago he had an accident that he has only just recovered from, I
did not ask if it was a bike accident or not.
Exhausts are std BlueFlame VTR and the bike was sold with a "Mori" style belly pan and a LED
rear light with built in indicators. None of which I have.
He sold it to some one in Cumbria and I from Rugbyboy in Lowestoft, mileage at 26,000 is not
that many above when he sold it.
I will send him some picture when my bit of the mods are done.
Thanks to Kev L and not to Wicky :D
