Ron Posted November 19, 2020 Share Posted November 19, 2020 It's complicated when there are so many gaps in the serial numbers. To start with though, yours is the 2644th bike from that contract, The first batch of numbers total 1199 machines. That means yours is the 1445th from the rest of the numbers. It's a case of sitting at the table with a calculator, pen and paper and nibble away at those other numbers. Then double double check your findings.

Ron Posted November 19, 2020 Share Posted November 19, 2020 Ah my Niece and her husband live there too Deena and Malcomb. I think their long cottage is the only one with views of the giant? Malc has a Triumph WD. 5SW. Ron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WILSON Posted November 19, 2020 Author Share Posted November 19, 2020 If you come to the village to see them (when its safe)let me know i could do with an expert eye run over the bike. Ian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron Posted November 19, 2020 Share Posted November 19, 2020 I haven't been down there for 2-3 years. They normally come up here. If you're a local? You must know them. Malc, Dad Jack and the family have lived there for most of Malc's life I think. Ron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
