I will refuse to have one. Outright.

I'd rather be dead through speeding than policed into submission and live for 50 years longer.

It won't be for speeding, it will be for taxing. Even if the article was about stopping people speeding, it wouldn't be, MCN lie through their teeth.

Hi

Quite likely to happen, and has been known about for quite a while. Mainly being pushed through by the company that stands to make money from them.

Just for general tracking of vehicles, and the government way of looking at it will be that it is no different to displaying a numberplate.

Suspect a bloody great magnet will fry it. Trouble is that they will probably put some totally OTT punishment in place for disabling them, or just stop any petrol station from serving you with a non functioning tag.

All the best

so i'll fill the bike up from the car if they do that

no point to it really now with automated numberplate readers.

What are the bets that should you want the police etc. to use such technology to locate your stolen vehicle, it would suddenly be far too much like hard work and a breach of the thiefs civil liberties.

Passive transponder chips are remarkably intolerant of microwave radiation due to them having a very fine, copper induction coil built into them. A pathetically small amount of time in a microwave (matter of a couple of seconds) renders them completely inoperable.

It wont happen in our life time I can assure you, the only way it will ever come about will be from Brussels.....figure it out if you care and stop referring to what those wankers at MCN have to say, they are nothing but a bunch of sad wannabe bikers who have nothing good to say about anything and use a baby dummmy to suck out these thick articles, do you ever see other good mags bringing out trash like this...no..

[JonB]

In a sense though, it could be one way to stop the spate of "cloning" that has been going on recently, with numberplates having to be made specifically from a government funded (taxes) numberplate manufacturer?

Just a thought.

There's money to be made from this and its not from finding stolen bikes or cars. The GPS system will be the next step in monitoring your every move and it too will be cloaked in some disguise as a "for the good of all" or anti terrorist legislation that will easlily win over the TV heads who believe everything the news tells them.

Are you still reading that toilet tissue MCN?

Unusual for me to throw salt on the wean's slide.
But what a load of shite!
If they, the government, need to track vehicles the means is out there already.
VED disc,
Insurance,
Paying for fuel with plastic,
DVLA documents.
etc.
Is a chip going to make you more conspicuous?
Naaaa!
May be another way to monitor theft of your pride and joy though.

And another thong, MCN published some tosh a month or two back that Ghost Rider would be attending some show. Oooooo I'm scared. Like they know who he is. My arse they do. Coz he's meee And I would nae go.

If these become compulsary, I'd rather we were allowed to fit them ourselves. Hide it somewhere on the bike, and if it was small enough, they'd be able to track the vehicle in case of theft.

Only IF they become compulsary, though, of course.

How is fitting a number plate with the chip going to cut down on thefts? Do you think the thief is stupid enough to leave it on? 2 bolts and off it goes, such a deterrant

Plus how long will it take for someone to (criminal) to get a reader? shouldnt be to hard to copy your bikes details just by walking past (cloning) or perhaps get your name and address from it then break in later.

Dont tell me their will be safe guards there are always safe guards and they never work after some time.

i'd just construct a faraday chamber round my numberplate - lead strips above and below it, and a layer of uber fine mesh front and back. Either that or i make my own numberplate from vinyl...
