Don't do a runner in the first place?

I guess that's one way to guarantee you get caught.

He may have had little choice if they put a police car in front of him.

okay so someone mentioned in another post that having your plate upside down isnt illegal. What if you got a personalise plate with figures that read upside down
IE you could get the plate M6NHIS upside down it would look like SIHN9W
A flip plate is more likely to arise general public interest, why not have a second sticker like printed plate underneath for people to tisk at and possibly record for those lovely *555 call. Get a plate number from a tractor in a mueseum or something just to be extra funny. IF you have no plate the driver will take good note of your bike, you gear colour etc. If they get a number thats all they will record in all likelyhood.

Timber020 has it right. Very "Bondish"

Better, a dummy plate with a cop bike number on it.
Though if you wanted to be clever rather than smart-arse, the number of an unrelated bike of same colour same make but different model. Onlookers may get "Suzuki", "Honda", "blue" ,"orange" etc but are unlikely to get the model

Dead right. Give the punters a reg number and they won't notice much else.
Still Ridin'
A small electric motor and a switch and you could rotate it at the press of a button - even more Bondish. Would need a few extra bits so it "knew" where to stop rather than continuing to spin like a propeller but it shouldn't be too difficult.
The Ultimate "Bond" one is to have two realistic dummy plates with fake registrations, both to each other and your real plate at the long edges so you have a "tube" with a triangular cross-section, put an axle down the centre so it pivots and rig it that a press of a switch can rotate it so that the different plates show on demand.
To be really mean, have one of the plates read something damning to someone else, like R4Q2
Motorbike Camping for the win!

No, because the cops will think that's near enough, and the poor innocent bugger on the same colour same make but different model will get busted for something you did. Cops don't care if it's a CBR1000RR or a CBR250RR. Unless the innocent bugger on the 250 can get the VP of Product Development for Honda sitting on the stand in court saying it's impossible for a CBR250RR to be popping a wheelie at 230k+, then the 250 owner guilty.

Well, obviously for this approach you have to be a totally selfish bastard who doesn't care if someone else gets done for a runner they didn't do. Nobody mentioned "honorable" as one of the criteria.
Only reason to make it a different model is so that if a cop sees YOU (the real runner) and thinks - "that looks VERY like that bike that did a runner from me" and stops you, you can say, "Oh, but officer, you say you are looking for a CBR250. But this bike I'm riding is a CBR600. It's not ME you want. ". Without inviting him to take too close at look at your rego plate system.

That why you need a second plate under the first, gives the police something to look for!
(its really just being helpful as the driver is satisfied because he thinks your as good as caught, the innocent 250 rider will be in the clear and the police wont have to try to stop and check every bike on the road needlessly, everyone wins, happily ever after, everyone kicked a goal.)

Anyone know uncle helen's numberplate???
It must figure pretty highly on the ecilops database at the moment... Speeding... hit and run... etc, etc...
