Don't know what the bitch is about on that subject I got rid of that freaking tag hanging off the axle 30yrs ago man what a pain that was catching your shin every time you went by . The new hot badboy thing is really a tired old something we tossed yrs ago and I'm sure it will die and come around again .

Ya old grumpy bastard, don't tell me you got one of those scars too! I thought I was the only one dumb enough to walk into that piece of State issued surgical slicer.
Cut me to the shinbone, I didnt feel any pain though, I was numbed 24/7 in those days!!!

Simple fix for me. I just rotate it from vertical to horizontal.
(Roto-Plate)

That's been a law here in NY since I could remember. Most police here will not come at you for it unless it's a road check or you **** them off but I am with the guys that said they did away with that human deli slicer long ago... lol. I added a chromed bracket under my bob tail and put my plate and tail light under the rear fender. I think it looks cleaner and ended that collection of extra tail light lenses that I had readily available to replace the lens I always broke off hanging the bike in a turn... lol

Ahh geez, not more of this anti-CA stereotyping bs. We have some of the best riding in the country, AND we can do it year round. We also don't have mandatory safety or smog inspections. As for blaming it on the dems, we had a Republican governor until a week ago. Give the new guy a chance!

For you guys who remember when vertical plates were popular before, do you also remember plunger frames? Let's hope no one brings those back!

I'm pretty sure that applies every where. Just common sense. If you can't easily read a plate because of the way it's mounted, it's going to be illegal. Same thing with a burnt out license plate bulb.
