Oh the wonders of Google! I found this from the current reg JSL683
I saw this bike yesterday – it is on display at the Oldtimer Motorcycle Museum at Motorcycleloft Hotel, Groenedijk, near Ostend.

The owner is Johan Schaeverbeke – who has built up an extensive private collection of mainly European bikes and memorabilia dating from 1914 to late ’70s. A lot of lightweights and bolt-ons plus a very nice OHC Praga, FNs, Triumph, Ducati, Whizzer, Alcyon, early BMW, – in fact lots! I’d guess there are 80+ bikes. Definitely worth a visit.

Johan gives an enthusiastic and very informative personal tour and description – normally open weekends. Weekdays by appointment.

The location is a rather unusual hotel specialising in bikers – which was closed when I visited.

Scroll down to see the Scott.
The bike details are engine DPZ4282 and the frame looks like 4220
I can email images of the suspension if anyone is interested – the bike is one the website

I found it while staying in Bruges where it was listed as a “top ten” think to do. Pretty good recommendation when you are up against some stunning architecture and Renaissance paintings! BUT it was said to be located in Dudzeelse Stenweg – Don’t go looking there – the collection moved six years ago since being a Ducati centre and now a cafe.
Oh the wonders of the web!
