It's also easier for people to find your address if they have your number plate and then come and nick your bike/car etc.

Getting access to the DVLA database is not as hard as you would think.

you used to be able to get an address off a number plate by just filling in a form at the post office and paying £5 but you cant do it anymore, my solicitor had a right game trying to get details off dvla to trace a whitness.

Another reason might be...

"Here's a picture of my bike..." on one thread, then "The other day I was doin' 120 mph down the A666..." and having that sinking feeling when you receive a NIP :shock: like the fella who put a video of his riding on utube :!:

Agreed that if you wanted to clone a bike just find one parked up :( But how long is it going to take you to find a suitable bike to clone compared to looking through the relevent forum, you already know you plan on cloning a bike, there must be a reason to do it or you're just going to do it for a laugh :rolleyes:

And Cloggsy has given the other good reason, they know you was in the area cause you told them and then posted a pic with the number plate, how many people have just admitted to a speeding offence without actually seeing the evidence :rolleyes:

Easiest way now is to ask the police. Pop in to the local cop shop, say someone bumped into you in a car park and drove off, give them the details of the vehicle and hey presto, 2 weeks later you get their address and their insurance info through the post!!!

It seems just to be the thing to do, rather then any real protection of the bike etc
Oooh, you just so argumentative aren't you
