Hey Stephano!

Tell me about it!! And that plate is the smallest you can get! If you have to get a new one they will be even bigger! One reason I got rid of the middle tail light!
You guys are the lucky ones...Oh, and since we are EU we have to live by EU rules which means if it doesn't have an "E-number" it's illeagal!
So I do hate the government big time!!Thanks for putting salt....
But I'm glad you like the bike!

Guido

I wish we had the mini plates you Euro guys use, GB plates are the biggest in the world.

And to further make things worse, it's SQUARE! At least with a rectangle you could mount it 90-degrees:

Wrong! It's already mounted 90 degrees! Its 20x18 centimeters! Which really sucks,by the way!!
And you guys can mount it on the battery box!! Over here you wouldn't last a mile!!!

In the UK a lot of people run smaller plates, and you usually get a £40 ($60) fine if the police ca be bothered... But usually, they don;t care as long as they can read it...

Mine is not only too small, it's the wrong colour. You can run black and silver with a classic bike, but not a new one... I'm hoping most cops will assume my bike is from the 1970s...
