  We present an archival search for transient gravitational-wave bursts in
coincidence with 27 single pulse triggers from Green Bank Telescope pulsar
surveys, using the LIGO, Virgo and GEO interferometer network. We also discuss
a check for gravitational-wave signals in coincidence with Parkes Fast Radio
Bursts using similar methods. Data analyzed in these searches were collected
between 2007 and 2013. Possible sources of emission of both short-duration
radio signals and transient gravitational-wave emission include starquakes on
neutron stars, binary coalescence of neutron stars, and cosmic string cusps.
While no evidence for gravitational-wave emission in coincidence with these
radio transients was found, the current analysis serves as a prototype for
similar future searches using more sensitive second-generation interferometers.
