Pulled for plate

[True Blue]

Was out on a wee rideout with Wee Al B ( who just joined BCF) and we got pulled by the cops. Didn't know what for at first but it turned out to be the illegal plate.

That'll be 30 pounds please. Well at least they didn't say anything about the race can or back visor I suppose.

I was in the bike shop yesterday as well to get a new (Legal) plate, When the guy said it would be about 45 minutes and I though Meh, I'll get it later. Good decision that.

Don't forget to keep your "legal" plate clean as I was pulled for mine being covered in loads of mud

Didn't get a fine though thank god, the officer must have been having a good day

The guy actually read me my rights, which I thought was a bit OTT

They two cops were actually alright to be fair, had a laugh and a joke with us. My own fault really cause I knew the plate was illegal and should have changed it sooner.

Pigs go and catch some real criminals. We need more cops on the street not driving around in their bmw police cars pulling people over for the shittiest of things.

Tut tut. TBH you deserved it, I mean no offence mate. I just really hate small plates.

Yeah I know. In my defence it was there when I bought the bike.

well said G,
I about to say something similar but don't need to now.

I can't stand the full size number plates, I think they look rediculous on the back of some types of bikes. However, I do not like to take the p1ss with one of these stupidly small ones. So to compramise, I cut the edges down on my road legal one, so the letters and spacing between the letters are correct, but the edges of the plate and a 1/4" off the top and bottom and about 1" off the sides.

Makes it a little less like dragging a plank of wood around behind you.

I just bought a 2x7inch plate , looks good but i'm keeping my legal one inside my jacket, so if i get porked i can try and blag my way out buy telling him i'd just bought this legal one from halfords and will fit it as soon as i get home .

Sorry to hear about your bad luck mate, but don't give up, the system is beatable.

Surely the 'cool factor' is somewhat counteracted by the large square shape pushing through your jacket and the plate clattering to the ground when you get off your bike?

Just for the record. I don't actually like small plates myself. I would never have put it on the bike if I had had a standard one there when I got the bike. I was intending to replace it with a legal one.

Small plates do improve the looks of most bikes though Especially if said bike has an undertray etc fitted. I had a 2x9 on the NSR and only ever got moaned at by plod.

Will the police not notice that your new Halfords plate already has the holes drilled in it? Either use the legal plate, or use the small one and accept what happens what you eventually get caught as it will happen eventually. And when they pull you over they'll also then probably notice your nice race can and anything else on there which is not 100% legal so you're playing a game with them by annoying them. It might save time just to put a sign on the back of your jacket saying "Please pull me over, I'm not 100% legal".

Ah, another bike with a small plate I should watch out for. I may take my plate off and go on a wanker slapping rampage, when they can't see a number plate they'll be mightily hacked off. Dicks.
