Pierrick

Hi guys I'm not dead and my car is fine. I logged on to check if there was any progress here but I think it is fair to say after 3 years without posting anything I am not surprid this post was put to bed... But anyway, sorry Neo, you got it wrong again! So, if there are new members in this forum who never heard about my request before... just scroll up a few messages and you might be able to help. Thanks.

I just had a look an e-bay... there is none for sale!! I must say, I'm a bit I'm surprised!!! And desprite looking on the internet I can't find any YCS or 180 owner club... Oh yeah, I say 180 because when I asked my girl friend's dad which bike it was, all he could say was it's a 180...so, can you confirm it's a 180cc?? Twin if I'm right? Oh by the way, here is a photo of MY bike... not a yamaha but I'm sure you won't mind!

Hi! Sorry, I didn't come on here on the last few weeks, i had a few problem with my car! Don't worry neo, you didn't scare me off! Thanks for the details, I'm sure this will help. I had a look on the VJMC web site... and you need to pay to register, even to have access to the forum, I think it's not really fair to ask everyone to pay, just to have access to some informations on the internet! Anyway, neo, when you say there is only a few left.. how many do you maen? I'm sure there is a few hundred still on the road... how can you say the one on the picture is the one I'm looking for??? I think I'll send a mail to the DVLA, so they can give my details to the actual owner and see what append.... do you think they can do that?

Anyone can tell me which bike it is?

I have no idea if the actual owner would want to sell his bike or not... but the first step is to find it... and then we will see what happend! And even if he don't want to sell it, at least, he will be happy to know a bit more about the history of his bike! What I think is, if he restored it himself, there is little chance he wants to sell the bike, but if it's a bike he bought restored it's completely different, he can sell this one and find another one... htere is plenty of classic bikes out there! Here is a photo of the bike in 1969 (or 1970): Uploaded with ImageShack.us Uploaded with ImageShack.us

Thanks for the welcome. So, does anyone know where I should post on this forum to have a chance to find this bike?? or if there is any yamaha classic meeting, how do I know when and where? Thanks.

Hi everyone, my name is Pierrick, I'm French, 25, and I'm living in the UK for aproximatly 3 years. I like all sorts of cars and bikes but specialy oldies... and that's why I'm here. So you might want to ask me what kind of bike I own... well I own a 1976 Honda XL 125 which I found in a barn in my grand ma farm a few years ago. I bring it to England with me and just finished to restore it. I also own a 1966 MG Midget bought 2 years ago here in Angland, but that's not why I am here! I'm here because I'm looking for a bike, one's own by my girl friend's dad! My girl friend dad is English (born in Street, Sommerset I believe!) and in 1969 he had a yamaha C180 (I think!). A few month ago I found a old photo of him and his bike where it was possible to read the registration number, so I went on the DVLA web site and found out the bike still beeing used with an MOT until october 2013!! Exellent!! DVLA details says: Registration n°: WYD 23 H MOT until 01/10/2013 First registration: 02/09/1969 180cc, BLUE So I hope to be in the right place with the right people to help Me find this bike! I have a photo somewhere on my camera, I'll post it here very soon.
