Has anybody had their rego nicked?

[mattian]

I was washing my bike just now and noticed that my rego is missing and the plastic covering was open. I can only think of 2 explanations. The wind somehow dislodged it and it flew out (Unlikely, but not impossible) or, someone forcebly removed it while it was parked somewhere. I often have to leave my bike parked and unattended for periods of time as its my only vehicle.

I am assuming its been swiped and I'm fucking fuming about it. :mad:

I had a Wof go missing in much the same way but, at the time there was only a few days remaining on it.

Just go to the post shop and get them to print you out another one. It's usually free....

FREE! excellent, i didnt know that. You have put me in a much happier mood. Thanks:love:

one of those stupid alloy backed holders with the sliding plastic cover? better off getting the larger version of a WOF holder, more secure & better looking too :yes:

hehe, no worries! Having owned many a 2 smoker I have had me rego vibrate of the numberplate on many occasions! Now I just use the tape to stick it to my swing arm! :)

anywhere that can give you a rego label can also give you the sticky backing for them for sticking them to bikes, trailers etc. Perhaps stick that on and then put it inside your holder, should give it a much better chance of staying put and make it slightly harder for some mischievous bastard to remove.

I lost mine once, went and got a new one and the bloody thing blew out on the motorway 10 mins later. That was with one of the typical car windscreen sleeves though, which was on the bike when I got it. After that I switched to using the stick ons

I carry mine in my pocket :whistle:

put a small self tapping screw on each end pretty hard to remove then

It's still an oversized bulbous looking piece of crap :yes:

I put my Rego and Warrants in plastic holders and and seal them in with a bead of epoxy to stop water getting in .

I guess that makes them hard to flog as well.

BTW: They are mounted to the bike with a "special -headed" bolt for which I have a tool.

Photcopying it and put the original in your pocket. That way if you lose it you can just photocopy it again and you are being legal by 'displaying a rego'. If queried about displaying a copy, produce the original. It does not say in the road code (to my knowledge) that you have to display an original registration sticker!

Be aware that the Road Code is not the complete definition of the law.

pity the road code is not the law!

i'd be surprised if they copy too well, and even if they do i would not be displaying a copy. seems like a sure fire way to get a ticket from some parking warden with nothing better to do

You don't want to do this.
regardless of the type of holder you use,it should be fitted so that chain oil leaks into it and completely obscures the label

I don't understand why someone would want to steal a rego label in the first place,
if you were to get pulled over the police run your plate and it will show up that your bike has not been regestered for x long. Not to mention that the fool stupid enough to steal it will most likely also be stupid enough to not put their actual rego/plate on hold so once they do get found out/sell their bike they will have a huge bill.
The only benefit is it would prevent a ticket from a parking warden. Cause they are the only people too lazy to check the number plate against the rego sticker. And most parking wardens are too lazy to even check the fucking rego sticker in the first place. So ultimatly theres no benefit what soever to stealing a reg label
if someone is thick enough to do it.. :motu: I think they wont be laughing for long.

About the time i bought my new Speedy 07 bike plates and regoes were getting nicked all the time,apparently all you had to do was get a new plate ,then change the ownership for same and i think they then relicenced the bike,and this came from a Harley rider at the "Cold Duck "anyway down our way we have the warrants and regoes in our jackets or bolted up under the guard and lock nut the plate and then beat the crap out of the exposed thread. :angry:
