The "but it came with the bike, Officer" excuse didn't work then?

You got away with the cans?

No the 'It came with the bike, officer' didnt work

A few days before i was stopped the 'Not for road use' band fell off and was replaced with a BSA mot standard thingy.
Was funny watching the officer on his knees looking for the 'Not for road use' as he's talking to himself saying "i know its here somewhere, i know a race can when i hear it"

Out of interest, how small was it and was it in a daft font?
I'm getting sick & tired of looking at the huge one on the back of my bike and other posts are beginning to convince me that I could get away with a 7x5.

I think mine is 7x5, either that or 7.5 x 5.5, and I've never had any problems with it- despite being stopped a couple of times for other things. It's noticably smaller but it's not stupidly small, and the text is something like 90% of the normal size and in the standard fon-t juts with smaller borders and margins.

so what would most people say was a acceptatable size for a plate, ie not taking the pee but not standard either.
