Fess up who was it :-)

That won't work. What if you were doing bad things and had to slow under 60 for some reason i.e. a slow corner or to avoid traffic??
On the flipside, what if you were legit and ride past a cop on the motorway with your plate up?

One member of this site does it already. Swears by it too.

Another member of this site doesn't bother with any form of plate disguise, aside from thin air where the plate used to be. Seems to work okay for them too. Cost $2.49 at the Warehouse for the velcro in case the plate needs to go back on for whatever ungodly reason (perhaps 2up with the missus).

of course you couldn't have posted that before i turned into a mad scientist?

some one told me once about a choke lever, pull it out and up pops the licence plate. carfeully wired up it's another idea. but i do like the wing mirror idea with the electric motor and button.

was also looking for a switch which turns off all the rear lights including the brake light for night time fun. unfortunately no brake lights could mean trouble, but it would make a rider hard to see at night from the rear.

hook up all the rear light earths together...or where they all join to the rest of the loom .....and wire a switch into the middle of it

i'll post a pic of a bike that is currently having a system fitted, in a week or two

My boss claims to have once had one of those wired into his bike, for, um, when he was late for important apointments, and didn't want to stop for a wee chat with the nice traffic cops.

Why bolt a plate on, when simply attaching it with split rings (key-rings) is "much faster"...

You'll find velcro is faster still.

Very important that. Years ago I had a guy do a runner on an XS1100, he killed his lights and took a left, the trouble was that I could see the reflection of his brake light in the windows of houses across the street. And trying to say that you were just heading out after you've been at your girlfriends house won't work when your bike is all knock-kneed and cooking.

About 8 years ago I was talking to a group of older riders somewhere and all of them had the choke cable hingy number plate. They were all on sports bikes.
They said they used to raise the plate in town, or towns they passed through for speed camera purposes.
I remember thinking back then, 'how simple, how effective.'

154k? And he crossed the centre line once? OMG - what a lunatic. People like that deserve to get rammed off the road when they try to stop for the cops.

What's the moral of the story here, fellas?
