W reg?

Anyone know where I can find a list that translates registration codes
like "W reg" into age?

Google I reckon.

Someone posted one about a while ago. I think it may have been Eddie.

Includes regional and age related identifiers.

 

Not guilty, m'lud.

 

1980

Go on, ask me another

 

W reg.

 

80/81 surely? In fact more 81. So I wouldn't rely on Champ (he's
probably still tired after his exhausting day).

 

Yersh. I was being concise. 1980 as in "W reg started in August
1980" Or, as the trade would have it "1980 on a W plate".

 

1980

Gosh, this is fun.

Whishing you were back in Edinburgh?

BZZZT! Sorry player 1, the correct answer is "2000".

Isn't it?

I know, but if we choose 1980 as the correct answer, Champ doesn't get
to drop into the tank of sharks, YTC.

S'no problem - I've got nothing to fear from sharks. Professional
integrity, see?

 

but what if he'd chosen 1981?

Wrong. When the trade see a bike with a W suffix they say "It's old
shite, worth nowt". They'll give you tuppence happeny for it and you'll
see it the next week in Classic and M/C Mechanics for 2500 quid.

Replace 'trade' with 'TOG' and you may be on to something there
