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"

plod proof badges i think i'm gona saw the end off my removable baffle pipe and just fit the end bit! so it look like its fitted

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.

what he said................... i want to know as well
