xx54 xxx, will be putting that plate on any stolen Comet 125's I sell from now on. Thanks for bring that to our attention as otherwise I might not have seen it and you've just made shifting stolen bikes lots easier for me.

Well anyone planning on stealing it has this forewarning. I collect Samurai Swords and I know how to use them.  ____________________ <-- I'm taller than Charley Boorman look |

Why would I want to steal your bike when I've got lots like it which I've nicked already and all I needed to be able to shift them was a different number plate of a Comet 125.  |

To be fair ste, you could go to a show room and do the same thing .
Best practice, but not exactly a major issue. Now, if he was pissing on a picture of the queen while riding the bike without a helmet and then signed the photo there might be cause for him to blur up the numberplate .
/me quitely resists mention the expensive new 125 so as not to cause offense |

I refuse to say you have a nice bike due to it being cleaner than mine.

Yes, I agree that it is overrated, and I'm sure that the chances of getting successfully prosecuted (or whatever) for someone elses' malicous acts are slim...however, I disagree with your point about about the general public seeing the registration, and "a few hundred forum members".
As far as I'm concerned, it's not about numbers, but the fact that there is an accessible photograph of the registration and bike on the internet. Ok, sure, random people (or sometimes not so random) can take pictures of your bike, but that's a different matter.
Also, wasn't there this thing about going to the DVLA with £25 (or something), and they'll be able to give you the details (i.e. address etc) of the person registered to a certain number plate? ____________________ TiN

Well it is only 2 days old, and for some reason it looks cleaner in the pictures than it actually is.  ____________________ <-- I'm taller than Charley Boorman look |

Ok Tin I see your point. It's basically a case of you've nothing to lose by hiding it, but there's a slim chance something could happen if you don't?!. Anyways, I'm pissed so I am gonna go to bed and see what sort of crap I have been posting when I get home from work tomorrow  ____________________ A big enough hammer fixes anything! |

People go from one extreme to the other https://www.bikechatforums.com/viewtopic.php?t=31903
If a bike theif is after a specific bike, he can brosw this forum and bike picture websites until he finds one that matches his order. Take the number plate details and get the address from the DVLA, browse a few posts for any details on the security, where the bike is locked up - or if they are posting about going on holiday etc..
Couple of seconds to blank off the plate, well worth it if you asked me for my opinion.
Nice bike btw and sorry for high jacking your thread malb  ____________________ As I said to that guy with the crutches and full camouflage gear, you can hide but you can't run. |

Exactly Hustler, you don't even need special Photograph editors like Photoshop a simple spray over in Paint can do the job, just as good.  ____________________ Be careful whose advice you buy, but, be patient with those who supply it.
