Private Plates..

Discussion in 'Lounge' started by philoldsmobile, Apr 1, 2016.

  1. The rules used to be a car plate could go on a bike, but not the other way round. Don't know why.
     
  2. A plate on a bike CANNOT legally be a single row - it has to be two (or three) rows : odd, but true...
    I made a thorough study of number-plate laws after getting nicked for having italic lettering on an otherwise totally legal plate a few years ago : the heinous crime cost me a £60 fine...

  3. Bike type face is smaller than on a car so would contravene the minimum letter size regulation. I guess you can go as big as you like. Andy
     
  4. You got off very light chap - I had TUR 130 on a 911 years ago as TUR BO and they gave me a proper seeing to! I had had a couple of stops n warnings and a 7 day wonder to take it to an mot station with correctly spaced new plate so I was taking the piss a bit
     
  5. There is a biker club or bike gang not far from my place in the land of tulips and windmills with some pretty heavy machines - Turbo Busas pushing out mental Bhp and spitting fire,very trick Big Bang Yams,Nitrous Kwackers etc etc - all mental kit and they ain't show bikes either - these boys ride the tyres off them.Problem is the place is camered up more than docklands and OB come down V V Heavy on street racers,often confiscating bikes on the spot! Because of this these guys nearly all have flip up rear number plates operated from a handlebar flickswitch by a solenoid and by a car remote control blip

  6. Pretty sure you can transfer numbers between any vehicle now (bike to car, car to bike...) - it's just a case of doing the paperwork with DVLA...

  8. Spotted another one just begging to go on a modern R1 or R6 - RO51 YAM for £1150. Would look awesome on an R1-M

  14. Its cheaper and more cost effective to just change your name by deed poll to match your plate.
     
  15. Not necessarily - see post #29 how unlucky :eek:
