Any Honda Rune owners on here?

[BIRMA]

I'm about to take delivery of one of these and have checked out "how many left' and there are 13 Licensed and 9 on SORN. I've joined the USA based forum which is very useful and I know there is an active owners club in Holland.
As this is probably going to be one of those tumbleweed threads what I would like to do is find all 22 owners of these bikes in the UK with a view to forming some kind of owners group, this may take some time.

Can't you just pay the DVLA for their addresses? Job jobbed.

Bit off topic, but you lucky sob! We need pictures!

Didn't know that, wouldn't it be covered by the Data Protection Act or some other nanny state crap.

Thanks I've got a few friends coming round for a barbie at my place when it arrives so I'll post up some pictures.

No, I think it's the same way private companies (that operate on behalf of the county councils) send people tickets for driving in bus lanes etc.

They normally require a number plate, but if you're after everyone with a particular make/model, I'm sure that'll be in the database too.

Worth an ask I'd have thought?

You have to have a "good reason" to access the data. Needing to issue a penalty or parking charge is viewed as a good reason. Wanting to "spam", sorry, contact the owners of particular vehicle make/model is, thankfully, not viewed as a good reason, unless you are a manufacturer and it's a recall.

Thanks that will save me a bit of effort.

Good job as well otherwise any bike could be stolen to order with DVLA advising which house to rob.

Top lurking that man!

I had to google it as well, I think it's fair to say it's an acquired taste.

I sold the bike quite some time ago. It is a big heavy old monster but the standard of engineering and quality of every part of the bike is something to behold. It was said that each bike cost Honda USA over $100,000 each to make and I can believe it too.

Few ads placed but lurking paid off...Honda Rune now tucked up in the garage

[russbiker]
