alright guys and gals,
i dont post much but i tend to read quite a bit on here, thought id post this though!
right, about a month a go (sunday night) i park my bike at home, lock it and cover it as usual. next day i get up and go to work. i carry on through the week as usual. on friday i get home from work and decide to open all me bills and junk mail etc, two of the letters were notice's of intended prosecution for speeding! i go out to the bike and realise my plates gone!!i must be blind! one of the offences was on the monday at 3am, the bike was caught in barnet doing 50mph in a thirty,NOT ME i was in bed! after checking pics online i realise it wasnt me, or my bike! eventually spoke to the police and was told it was clearly not me but id have to write a letter, blah blah blah.
the whole point of all this nonsence is that the copper that delt with the case is seeing more and more of this in north london, and in some cases its dam hard to prove it wasnt the original owner of the plate causing the offence.
so me and all my mates have now replaced our numberplate bolts with heavy duty velcro, and NEVER leave the plates on the bikes!
i personally blame all those little basterds on the ****ing wheelie machine mopeds! i know its them coz i collered one a week later and the little tosser had two different numberplates!
so be warned people, not only that, its easier to pull your plate off in soho than it is to remember a carrier bag
just doing my bit!
