Bah! Who needs fancy tax disc holders?!

Just made a photocopy of my tax disc and then laminated both it and the original Laughing

Will keep the original stashed somewhere, knowing my luck some chav will have stolen the copy by the end of the week, maybe a bit of duct tape will keep it in place........... Twisted Evil

It caught the chain when it snapped off my FMX.

+1 for fancy metal tax disc holders.

Some charv nicked one off my mates scooter years back Laughing

I laughed when i bought my 125 scooter with the tall screen that had the tax disk held on with a car window tax disk holder... like that would have stayed on for the 2 years i had it Rolling Eyes

Mine's bolted to the back of the bike. But it's only a photocopy, so I'm not bothered if anyone nicks it (not that they've tried to yet).

This topic comes up every so often and I am still curious as to why people are concerned about the theft of tax disc from a bike, but aren't from a car.

To steal my bikes tax disc the thief needs tools or to break the steel backing - to steal a cars he only needs a brick...

Is it just because bikes have nothing around them that they feel more vulnerable?

I think it's because smashing a car window is a lot more violent and attention grabbing than simply fiddling away with a spanner at the front of a bike for a short while. Bike's are probably seen as an easier target by the criminal fraternity.

Suppose it depends on what tax disc holder you have.

On mine it doesn't lock closed, to take the disc out you just peel the rubber seal from around the edge and remove it.

who steals tax disks now anyway, they aren't worth anything unless they go the full hog and clone your plate.

unless someone can enlighten me as to what i am missing?

mine wasn't even secure on my old bike, just a simple holder that you can pull apart with your hands.

You can cash them in at the post office without an ID I beleive.

My tax disk is mounted on my bike, in the shitty black tax disk holder that came with it.

Thing is, It's mounted inside one of the front tank shrouds. You can't really see it.

Also, I dont leave the bike anywhere other than INSIDE My workshop at work, Or INSIDE my house, at home. Razz

i've photocopied mine and laminated and put it under the seat (the base of the seat has a compartment which ideal for paperwork) and have left the tax disc holder on the bike with no tax disc or cover. if it ever gets mentioned i'll tell them there was a photocopy which was stolen (hence the empty tax disc holder, without a front) and the original is no the bike.
