    Good place for a plate?

    Saw this on Trademe, thought to myself that what a dumb loation for a number plate on bike. I'm very sure there's a risk something gets lodged onto tyre it will take out the number plate.

    As if the shame of owning an SV isn't bad enough, then you got to go and do that to it. The poor sod.

    You echo my sentiments to the letter.....

    Before you judge a man, walk a mile in his shoes. After that, who cares? ...He's a mile away and you've got his shoes

    what the! are you serious...i think its different, as for something getting lodged in his tire and taking it out? wtf are rear huggers in aid of? and have you seen some of the clearances they have to the tire? i would say his plate has more than some huggers.

    First thing I noticed is, if the bike has never been dropped, where are those Original Pipes? Hopefully he sold them ?

    I must be a cynic.

    I love how people like to tell of mods they have done to the bike as if it is a good thing that will enhance its value. I think most people would take a stock bike over something that has had an owner that needs to tinker with everything they can for no real reason.
