Has anyone seen .... ???

My license plate?!?!

Damn thing either got swiped or fell off ... again.

This is the 2nd Duc I've had where the plate went missing. Funny thing, the bike hasn't been left unattended since yesterday (except when it was in my locked garage) and I didn't see anyone messing with it. It's strange, though, that all four screws managed to fall out and the plate frame when AWOL, too ... that sucker was pretty hard to get on in and of itself.

What the hell?!?!?

I guess it's time to order the vanity plate, huh? Also time to change up the hardware to allens and loc-tited nylock nuts.

CRAP!!!

And my reg is up for renewal next month. What a hassle...

I lost the plate off my 999R somewhere in Italy last year, after nearly losing it a previous time.

Seems that the OEM plate hanger could touch the rear tire on occasion, and that broke the hanger.

I know the feeling, my plates would mysteriously disappear whenever I ventured onto toll roads...

Stock plate hanger and I lost all but the top left nut/screw.

Hoping the new "zip tie" method holds up better.

I bet you're pleased with yourself, huh?

FYI, "DNGRMSE" was taken ...

I was thinking (in honor of my recent speeding ticket on my Hyper) "65 NA 35" or "65INA35".
