Ok well good news, I managed to ind I still had a numbr for my mates fianee and after a couple of texs I established that she still has the bike and rides it... she also said that she is going to keep it for good. I didnt mention that I was looking for it to buy or anything as wasnt sure how to bring it up but am really glad that I know it is safe, with someone who will look after it. Little disappointed in some ways but more pleased that I know where it is.
Thanks for all your help guys.
Guess will have to start looking for my own ride now
