fastbob Posted June 6, 2020 Posted June 6, 2020 Googled GSXR 1100 and two pictures of my old bike popped up on Google . One from here and one from Gumtree . That's never happened before . Has anyone else stumbled upon their own bike when searching the internet ? Quote

Mr Fro Posted June 7, 2020 Posted June 7, 2020 Yep. The company I bought the hangers for the track bike from wanted some snaps.If I'd have realised what they were going to do with them I would have asked for a discount! Quote
Mississippi Bullfrog Posted June 7, 2020 Posted June 7, 2020 I get this quite regularly but mainly to do with my public role. The most annoying thing was people saying they'd sern me on the news when the BBC kept using material from when I worked as a press officer.The weirdest thing was a Mk 1 Escort I rebuilt back in day when they were worthless. Me and mate rebuilt it from the floorplan up and seam welded the whole thing. I later flogged it to our window cleaner and forgot about it.Years later a guy contacted me via Retro Rides linking me to the car which had been transformed into a rally machine. He'd traced me via the reg no and used Google to track me down. They wanted to check the details of the welding for certification or something along those lines.After that the car kind of haunted me for a while as I got linked to it and people assumed I was involved with it. Last I heard it got crashed and was laid up somewhere. Quote
Mack01 Posted June 7, 2020 Posted June 7, 2020 Not quite the same but a friend told me to street view our work place a couple months ago. When I did I saw my old Yamaha parked outside.... I sold that bike about 6 or so years ago. Quote

I sold that bike about 6 or so years ago. I am on streetview walking down the hill from my house. Fortunately (very) the car came round my road an hour or so after I had returned from a ride out and the bike was hidden away. Quote

Ian Frog Posted June 7, 2020 Posted June 7, 2020 Back in 2008 I had a friend working with me who owned a blue ZRX and his bike is on street view outside my house as I gave him a lift to work in the car.CheersIan Quote
