Resistance is futile, you will be assimilated.

I have recieved a response from the DVLA regarding my freedom of information request.

It appears that were 10 Oasis Green Falcos resisted in the UK between 2004-2011.

So it seems that there might still be more to find.

Who's/where are the 6 that are known to us?

The full document is available here.

As a side note, there are 283 Aprilia SL1000 Falcos registered (in 2011). 1 of which was first registered in 2010. 115 Falcos were SORN in 2011.

Four are on this forum - yours, green hornets, blinkey's and hanna's

One is in deal - Kent - current owner does not wish to have contact with forum / group

One is in Scots lowlands - Jamie is half heatedly selling it...... I have his contact details

So..... Three left to find...... (1 written off it seems in 2010/1)

Reports that I recall of sightings - one near Shrewsbury a couple of years ago, one in Lincolnshire three years ago ..... That's it that I can recall

When I last did a big search via assorted forums, Jamie's was the only new one that came to light


Let's face it, you wouldn't go to a nurse to get good advice on a problem with a Falco - you'd choose an Engineer or a mechanic...

Is that the light from the big factory fire we had down by the airport this week?

If you look at page 2 it looks like a second was written off last year
