Default Grrr, missing plate

Well my number plates either been nicked or fallen off.

Somewhere between leeds and halifax, or parked outside uni.

Very annoying, but it's reported, and I'm going in to give a statement on Wednesday.

And now, every time you pass an ANPR site or are followed by a traffic car with ANPR in it, you'll get stopped!

Bummer.

That mean I need to put a baffle in?

Hassle I don't need really, but it's better than getting possible fine and points if it does end up on someone elses car/bike.

if you usually have a tax disc fitted, make sure thats not gone too, bastids had 3 photocopies out of me last year, 2 from 'unstealable' holders. (The bolt holding the rad in is easily stealable to....lol)

The screws do have a habit of shaking loose and dropping out but you have taken the right action. When you fit your new one stick a splodge of superglue on the plastic thread bit that protrudes out the back,screws are knackered then but at 8p each better than the price of a new plate

Report it asap to the police. that way if someone nicked it to clone it you are covered.

B*ll*x some of the london bikers just ride with no number plate & the rare occasion they get stopped, they've just got the complete amazement look as they say " oh **** it must have just fallen off"

Wish I could keep a straight face
