Where are you now! MHA 646P

Hi everyone,

A quick check with DVLC, and lo and behold my 76 Strada MHA 646P is still around, but on a sorn.
It would be interesting to learn what's been going on with the bike in the last 20 years.

I had the bike from 1979 until 1998, it was and maybe still is a great bike did I think over 40 thousand miles with it.
Regretted selling ever since.
If anyone has any idea of whereabouts it would be great to see it again.
I did quite a bit over the years including a full rebuild in 1984. It was "personalised " with quite a lot of stainless parts,
needle roller swing arm and taper roller head bearings.

Many thanks in advance
Graham.
Worthing West Sussex.

Further to this, MHA 646P is now back on the south coast :D. Came up on eBay towards the end of July as part of a lot of bikes and bits. Went to near Norwich had a look and did a deal. Some may have seen the ad but in the flesh it was filthy and covered in what appeared wood dust. However a good wash and brush up and she's fairly presentable, new battery fitted and a short ride yesterday revealed a bit more ferttling required.
May try to ride the Corsaro meet on Saturday.

That's a happy ending indeed! Glad to hear I'm not the only one who tracks down their old bikes! Well, some of them anyway...
