    Lovely job

    +1 on keeping it in the family. Don't let it out of your sight.
    The pic is my dad on his 1920-something Douglas 350 flat twin. It was a good runner, not restored but more or less as it had lasted. When Dad started getting a bit older he sent it to Motat at Western Springs on loan. This would have been about 20 years ago.

    Some time ago I enquired about the bike. It seems that it has disappeared from there - I heard someone from Motat sold a whole lot of vintage vehicles to freinds and kept the change. Obviously we'll never see the Douggie again.

    Now that sucks big time, don't suppose you have any paperwork or any way of getting reparation/finding the bike?

    Dad did recieve a letter from Motat thanking him for the loan and how wonderful it was to have a bike ready to put on display, yadda yadda.

    I have need through all the old papers but cannot find it.
