Default tryed one

i tryed a small plate on my bike but wat with all the backfiring and lack of baffeling in my cans it lasted a week before i bricked and took it off.

besides the mounting bracket hanging out both sides if the plate looked a bit sad and i couldnt afford to do it properly

I ran a GSXR400 and an SV in the Devon/Dorset area and had a plate at 7 by 5 inches, I guess I got lucky or the cops I encountered weren't *****s coz I never got stopped for it.
I'm in SoCal now and the legal plate is the same size (or damn close to it!) as my old illegal so that's cool. The authorities have prison inmates stamp the number plates out of aluminium! (aluminum as they'd say here!)
I'm sure I've jinxed myself now and if and when I come back home and put an illegal plate on I'll get nicked first time out!
