Pete Posted April 29, 2006 Posted April 29, 2006 I hate to say it Sir Tom....but if you have a small plate and a race can you may as well put a sign on your head saying "Nick me". Ditch them both!
Guest Tomg Posted April 29, 2006 Posted April 29, 2006 unlucky Sir tom. on my hornet i have a race exhaust but not a small plate yet. the one on my tzr is only trimmed down by an inch all the way round (proper job not as in i trimmed it down) but its hardley noticeable! so im going to get another one made up for the hornet! so did you actually have insurance then? at least you have no points and 30 quid yes you didn't want to spend it but could be loads more
Sir Tom Jones Posted April 29, 2006 Author Posted April 29, 2006 Hi all yes i had insurance but he reckons coz of the plate and pipe that would make my insurance void as they are not road legal.As for the plate mine wasnt really small bout 1/2 smaller numbers than original ones.Still should of known better i guess well i did but that pipe sounds soooooooo good(blue flame twin outlets) but i have a plan for that nudge nudge say no more got plate will stick it on in the morning and standard end can for the moment anyway i wont let them grind me down ill be back on the road tomorrow
Moderator YamaHead Posted April 29, 2006 Moderator Posted April 29, 2006 Pisser there Sir Tom! Sounds like he let you off easy though.....which is always good. I can sure see why you guys like to down-size the plate....as the standard size is about as big a BarnDoor! Our plates here in Oregon are only 4"x6"
Moderator mervin Posted April 30, 2006 Moderator Posted April 30, 2006 Yes they are getting to be bastards about number plates etc easy money again meanwhile break ins etc are not even being investigated Merv
