Velcro on plate

[Matthie]

Anyone know if there is a penalty for holding your plate on with velcro? What would happen if a traffic copper saw it?

Caravan owners do it. Wether or not it would stay on at stupid speeds is an other story.

Makes it stupidly easy for someone to nick your plate.

I bet it will fall off within a week. Velcro with glue all over it. Whack it on and never worry.

Unless you are planning the whole having several different plates made up so you can choose to be Matthie, or Dave, or Jim or whoever legally owns each plate

[Matthie]

Planning on using plently of strong stuff, shouldn't fall off. It's more for incase the situation ever arises where I need to rip off my plate...

If you're going to do that then why bother even fit a plate?

Also, what are you going to do with the plate once you rip it off?

Police will just go back and get it from where you dumped it.

My opinion is that this isn't a good idea. The best idea would be one of those actual plate flipper things.

If you drop your plate in the process of taking it off then you're fucked.

Friend of mine had a plate attached by velcro to his 636, was very secure and could handle speeds of 150+.

Course it's not illegal all it has to be is secure.

I'd be tempted to cut a couple of numberplate screw heads and glue them in place to make it look more realistic.

The ultimate would be to somehow adapt some of that liquid crystal privacy glass. Add a layer of it to your plate or something hooked up to a switch on your bars. Riding normally, power is sent to the plate making it visible, then at the flick of a switch you can kill the power and the plate gets obscured. Would be a bit expensive though mind. Prob cheaper just to pay the fines.

I had mine on velcro and forgot to put it back on after cleaning the bike. I was stopped by a copper, "Just to let you know your plate's fallen off". He checked the ownership by the vin-plate. He also mentioned the velcro, just seemed interested.

If the plates where it should be and they see a couple of "mounting" screws in the right place they'll never guess it's on Velcro. Saying that no one complains that the vast majority of cars have plates mounted on double sided tape, just think the faux "bolts" might deflect any attention during a normal police check.

What is the point in getting into a chase if you are 100% legal?

You may as well stop and take the points and the fine. Its not worth the risk TBH. Plus, the police aren't supposed to chase you on a motorcycle in case they cause an accident, so all they do is take your plate and trace you through that. The only way to know that you aren't going to get caught is to ride without a plate at all!

There's no point unless its for trackday purposes or something.

Remember kids, bikes aren't like lego. You can't easily take a part from one bike and then fit it to another.

[Matthie]

I wouldn't go looking for a chase on purpose, I have been pulled quite a few times.

What about if you went past a traffic car going the other way at licence loosing speeds by accident, wouldn't you prefer to be able to rip your plate off and go for it? (They would probally call the chase off pretty quickly.)

Umm?

I know why... it's because there has never been many traffic coppers around newbury untill recently so there's alot of 'done up' rudeboy cars going around. They are cracking down on it now, saturday night just gone past they had a crack down in the town centre catching all the cars 'cruising' through town, pulling over any dodgy looking cars into the bus station and going over them.

One of the new spots for the traffic coppers to sit is on the way up the link, just after the slight bend so you can't see them sitting on the vedge till you are doing 120+. Shame really because the link even has a bridge at the top which the first under wins.
