was riding through north yorkshire one evening (1450 harley with suitable sized plate) when got overtaken and stopped by police car and siren. He got out of his car with a little yellow ruler and proceded to measure the letters.
Got a £30 fixed fine and a warning that if he sees that plate again in his area he'll do me for anything he can.

Ah yes the North Yorkshire Constabulary, to be fair they could issue tickets to 99% of the bikes going into Squires under construction and use, but they seem to be very pragmatic about things like loud pipes and black visors, I bet you were unlucky enough to be out on an "initiative day". They also have unmarked Hayabusas and BMW RR1000s with on board video just in case you try to show them a clean pair of heels 2009 GS Auto Zermatt Silver - Sold June 21 after 10 years of ownership

Yes you are doing the motoring public a favour : as they sit sweltering in a 5 mile traffic Jam on a Bank Holiday Monday there is nothing they will like better than seeing their wives look longingly at you, hearing the children urging them to get one, and then feeling the concusion as your open Vance and Hines pipes blow their side window out........  2009 GS Auto Zermatt Silver - Sold June 21 after 10 years of ownership
